    This isn't my first toyota. I had a 97 tacoma that I used to go play with and had slightly modded

    , some wheels and tires (obviously)

    then got into a little wreck due to some very icey roads.

    Got her rebuilt and decided I wasn't dealing with that again so I got a DIY relentless bumper, a magnaflow ehaust and afe intake.

    Got some new wheels and tires for a steal so figured why not.

    Kept it mostly stock, plastidip and an intake was all. Still a pretty awesome car.


    Sold that and got my current baby.

    Well as is tradition the modding didn't take long. Found a deal on a 50" CREE dual row LED light bar. I used some Slag off-road brackets to mount it above the windshield. Didn't take to many photos of the actual install, I am gonna rewire a few things tomorrow hopefully as it suddenly stopped working (pretty sure I pulled a wire apart on accident) so I will try to get some more.

    Headlights and the led bar

    Just the LED bar

    A little photo of the glare on the hood. It honestly isn't that bad or noticable, might be because of the grey color. Honestly the only time anyone should be using one of these they will be going slow enough that the glare wont effect anything.

    HOLES. It's at Toyota now. Got some paperwork in the mail regarding a frame recall so now here we are. One winter in Minnesota was probably enough to do er in. They have had it all day with no info yet. I'm off tomorrow so we shall see. They put some coating on it if there is no replacement necessary, but they have to run it by me first I guess. .

    So figured Im sitting in lab running simulations that take forever for each one...might as well throw an update.

    to bad I have none.

    Took a little drive out to the Highlands south of town to meet a buddy of mine and check out his new(to him) LC, attempt to explore, and do some shooting.

    Well the trail we started on soon turned to just 6" of slush ball snow. Neither of us have winchs at the moment and decided with the lady friends and his daughter with us we should back track and do some shooting.

    IMG_20150313_151728025_zpsbfjewicp_169417470bcf63174ad4256fd1accd6c8f4d94e2.jpg

    Was to busy shooting at stuff to really take photos. The gf did well, hell she did better with my pistol than I did.

    We went back to his parents place and hung with the dogs, and had beers and burgers. Had to compare the rigs first though.

    and of course Maynard, the wierdest damn corgi ever.
