    Thank you! Yeah, the Tacos look built to play, but some of the Chevy's just seem like skyscrapers for little reason. I saw some sick Tacoma chase vehicle (I think that was his license plate) the other day. Made me think I was in Baja for a second... :cheers:

    Yes, the pinstripes! I'll be looking more closely now.... heheheh

    Seriously, soooooooooo many badass Tacos that I feel like it's always a TW meet here in Tempe! Nice mod day you had there.

    There are lots of places to go and play around the valley and state. From malls to mild to wild to insane.

    It's a Phoenix thing. There are some nice Tacoma's in Tucson and I get compliments on my truck all the time but when I park next to the Phoenix built trucks my truck looks like a bitch.

    What's a fun trail nearby? I didn't have time to put my front skid or trans case skid on before leaving, so I'm a bit unprotected.
    This was the truck:

    I'm traveling through Tucson next week to Tombstone!
    Ha! Yeah, but I'm going to guess your truck is more useful than one that needs a step-ladder....

    Daaaaaaaaaaang. With as many times as I've been to the Baja races, this beast fits in perfectly and could probably win the race! lol

    Awh thanks man. And let me know how bright those leds are. My current ones for my turn signals just simply aren't bright enough.

    Buckoma put down a pretty good list of the lesser known mild trails on my Trail Ratings thread. Sycamore/Florence Box Canyon/4 Peaks can get you out in the desert without any permits also.

    Going to be a boring day at work. My partner called out sick and no one else seems to want to come in. So 24 hours, paid, to sit around, nap, watch tv, and play on TW. Maybe I could take the 4x4 ambo out for a little fun... What the boss doesn't know :anonymous:

    . Some of the first gen lr's UCAS had some failures at the welds (cracked). Where the arm meets the bushing sleeve. The bushings also failed prematurely but they have redesigned and have new bushings. Their customer support is really good. Do a search on Google and there are several good reads on them. All of the failure pics that I saw had considerable amounts of rust on them. It's a possibility that it contributed to the metal fatigue.

    They are perfect for accent lighting. Just not turns. Not bright enough and too small.

    I hear shitty things about LR when it comes to 4runners too. Not sure what exactly cause I never paid attention. I want total chaos haha

    I actually got to do a little work. Had a roll over on 87 and 188. I saw a few Tacos pass by the accident, didn't recognize any of them.

    Got back to quarters just in time to win the ebay auction for a windshield for my wife's Buell. She is worried that it doesn't come with mounting hardware, I told her not to worry, I am on TW, we can duct tape and zip tie anything onto anything.

    A lot of opinions from people who havent had them...

    I rocked em for years with my OME setup and then with my Kings, without a single issue. The ONLY thing I would recommend is that you get the newer style bushings.. Either separate, or already pressed in (new).
