    Come On!! This is it...I'm putting my iPad away!!! Yet another fick'in cool item to buy!! @ramonortiz55 this one is your fault! You held the WeatherTech GB. Personalizing your WeatherTech with Toyota TRD is way cool. But before you just jump on the cool boat...remember this guy will build what ever you want. As long as it fits in the space...The only negative draw back on this: Cost. Little pricey due to him being in Great Britain!! Shipping is pricey and the low Crappie value of our dollar...for a pair of these was $39! I went with letter "I"...for my choice!!

    In N Out originally was only in CA, but has branched out to AZ, UT and TX. They will only use never frozen meat and fresh cut fries, and the cost of meals is pretty low. Make sure you check out their "secret" menu before you go, I love the animal style fries.

    Dang that is a nice roof rack! I would rock that if I wasn't planning to get a roof top tent eventually.

    Those are awesome might have to jump on this! Thanks @Russtoy

    Let me know what dates you'll be here in Texas. Austin area, right? Id go meet you up for a Whataburger :D

    I call mine "venenosa", which means "poisonous one" in spanish.

    Will you bring your 4runner?

    So this is like a rollover bar brackets ..but your your engine?

    Does it come with the bar?

    Ive seen them, they are clean. Id probably rock that when I dont have my RTT on.

    Ill have to look into them. Hopefull the OP doesnt kick me off the list again ;)

    Is this still going on? I thought the guy organizing it shut it down?

    This is sweeeeettt.. @samsung picked up a nice 4runner also and just finished installing his Icon lift. What are your future plans with this?

    RTT!! what type of RTT do you plan on getting?

    ..It wont load at work.. lol

    Oh yeah!! And the fun begins!! Did you find a garage you can use to do your install in?? I hope so!

    Not Austin...I'll be heading to Henderson. It's up by Longview...Kilgore area...It's in Rusk county...I'm think I'll be about 3-3 1/2 hours north of you. But I still might try and hook up with you for luch! ShrockWorks is building me a custum rear bumper and so if I can find a day with nothing to do...I might come down and have lunch with you and then hit ShrockWorks up to check out my bumper and to finally meet Mark! But I have to be honest...this is still in the planning phase. No promises...but I will let you know as soon as I can! Heck...just the thought of Trying your very own special "Venenosa WB" is good enough reason to come down...lol!! Mouth is watering just thinking about it...oh and the onion rings...mmmmmmm!!

    No sir...it's not a roll bar for your engine...you my friend are hilarious!! The bar ties the two frame rails/coil spring buckets together, which is one of the weakest parts of the front end...this makes the stand-a-lone buckets way way stronger. Each end of the bar attaches to the top of your coilspring bucket.So when you are out 4wheeling and you are traveling on all the uneven terrain...having one wheel up in the air and you can "feel" the vehicle flexing..you are a lot less likely to bend your frame. This is especially ture, if you plan on making ANY types of jumps! I've seen a truck take what appeared to be almost nothing of a little mole hill jump...the front tires only came up off the ground about 2-3 feet in the air. When he landed...the truck broke in half! Now please don't think that if you take a small jump this will happen to you. I have no idea what condition this truck was in. Chances are this will never happen to you. Most of the guys that add this setup are the desert guys who hit jumps at high speeds and attempt to get all 4wheels off the ground. I'm just a very cautious guy...and I think they look cool too!! Besides, I'm planning on doing an SAS in the near future...which will make this even more of a need, then a want. With 20% off..I thought I'd better grab it while it's on sale.

    @ramonortiz55 what's an "RTT"??

    @ramonortiz55 as far of the TRD logo...didn't buy it through a GB. Saw the discussion about them and a member stated he just purchased one and had the link posted. I was bored and it was in the middle of the night...so I said the heck with it and hit the link and started emailing the maker and ended up ordering a set. Which works out really well, cause one of the "WeatherTech" logos fell off the last time a washed my mat's off! Perfect timing!

    @Russtoy RTT-Roof Top Tent

    I haven't found a garage yet, if all else fails my friend knows all the guys at Insain Fab so maybe I will try to work something out with them.
