    Hey I have a 2013 tacoma 2.7 4x4 AC. I have some plans and need some help. I would like to install led lights in my rear bumper and get a bracket to mount 50" light bar without drilling through the roof. I move from good Ole GA to Washington state. It's a different kind of living.

    I would like to point out, "squid" is not exactly a term for a "newbie". Squid is primarily related to motorcycle riders who wear zero gear for protection and who have "questionable" riding skills.

    That's perfectly acceptable. You can call yourself Sir PumpernickleMcsquidsmagoo if it makes you happy. Won't change the true term of squid. :duel:

    Sure I'll lighten up.

    Some one specifically asked what it meant. He said newbie. It doesn't mean newbie. If he said he earned the nickname squid because he was new to some cephalapod club, I'd agree with you.

    I always thought calling someone a squid was in reference to them serving in the US Navy... Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

    Welcome to the show.

    Lord knows we wouldn't want to go against the grain and have someone on here with a username that isn't approved by 100% of the crowd. Until now, all usernames here are so rooted in reality and all......

    Anyway, Welcome Squid.
