    Adventure Offroad(member on TW) is building my sliders, been semi-talking to him about maybe doing a bumper for me. Either that or having Insain Fab make one. Winch will probably be the Superwinch Tigershark w/synthetic line.

    Wow I'm behind... Let me catch up...

    :spy:
    Not if I do it first...
    Didn't Chas get banned? Don't want to spread rumors but I thought that Total Auto Parts was lying about lights saying they built them in the US and marking them up when really they were super cheap China lights. They got caught by @chris4x4 I think. If I'm wrong, let me know because I've been avoiding that company incorrectly then haha.

    Edit: found it
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-lights-from-mrt.365584/

    So you're uninstalling them? :stirthepot:

    My girlfriend loves driving the 4Runner. She hated the Tacoma. Weird...

    Dude you really should be careful doing this. I'm against the idea of 4Wheel by yourself...especially up in the mountains. If you do, make sure you have a survival kit made up. Blankets, food, water, radio, gloves...don't mean to get on you, but it could mean the difference of life and death! Just take good pre-cautions brother!! One more thing and I'll get off my soapbox...at least let someone know when you leaving and when you expect to be back....also tell them the area where you plan to do your exploring/4Wheeling. Just don't won't to lose you bro!! Cheers

    I get what you are saying, kinda sucks where I live, not a lot of people live out here. Plus my days off aren't on the weekend, so even less people off-road. I also hike a lot by myself, so I also keep people informed on when and where I am going. Tell them which county to contact if they don't hear back from me. Living in the mountains in CO, I already have extra blanket and jackets in my vehicles. Will be putting together some fire starter kits and what not. Always good to have other people to contact, definitely will keep you informed.

    As much as my mom would like my life insurance, I try to stay as safe as possible. I will make sure to post up on this thread whenever I go out.

    The only condition for rifles in CO is that there isn't a round chambered. So I can roll with my SBR AR with magazine in, bolt locked back, just no round in chamber.

    Wow interesting law. I can have mine in a locked container separated from any ammunition so that it doesn't load itself

    This is definitely something I haven't seen before. Makes me think about my next purchases with them for sure. I've picked up quite a few things from them including lights and suspension. Looks like I'll be using the new 4 wheel parts that just opened up down the street a bit more. Luckily most of my purchases have been drop shipments from them too.

    Total Automotive is still a vendor on t4r.org

    Which is funny because Adventure Off-road Fab who does a lot of Fab work for CO guys on TW can't get Vendor status

    My mothers actually pro-slider as well. She's 5'2" and refuses to ride with me because every time she gets in, she needs a step.

    Then call them what they are "steppers" that are just heavy and placed in the wrong spot. Done and on the road again. Everyone have a great morning!!
