    If I'm using it to commute over an hour 5 days a week then I'm going to need a/c. I like the heat, but not that much.

    I'd love to find a gray/green one. Love that paint color on these mini trucks. If I get one it's definitely getting lowered haha

    Yeah i commute 40 miles a day right now through the city but the first part is all at night. Ac is definitely nice and I do love having it. Makes sitting at stop lights bearable.

    Green/grey/tan/black. With the retro stripes or one with patina all over would be awesome. I drool over the 4runner glam runner on here. Retro stripes look so good in my opinion. Lowered for sure. Gotta fit in with the cool kid's haha

    My morning commute wouldn't be bad at all I'm sure. My drive is 35 miles on the highway one way. What I am worried about is it being able to hold 75mph and still get decent gas mileage. Either way it'll still get better mpg's than my Taco.

    I guess I haven't seen that 4Runner before.

    Oh yeah, that guy. Would be pretty awesome to have that paint scheme. And I found the truck that's perfect for it too haha

    This one is definitely one I've been looking at for a couple weeks. Probably gone by now though.

    Hey guys... Does anyone have any tires for sale here in Vegas? If not, here's what I'm thinking.

    My girl has a 2002 Tacoma ext cab stepside (love it) and she needs new tires. I'm thinking about giving her my 6-7 mo old Nitto Terra Grapplers, and tossing some Goodyear Duratracs on mine instead... I mean she's getting tires for free, so she can't be mad she's getting my fairly new and expensive handy-downs.. i mean for reals.

    I don't have a "lift" but I do believe the previous owner added a small leveling kit, and there's a cap on the top front springs adding a little bit. I'm wondering if I'll be able to squeeze 275's down there. I might have a tiny bit of rubbing in certain cases, but never around town, right. Not to mention I can always do some cutting. idk. Just a thought.

    The Nitto Terra Graps are amazing tires, and I like the squared look but I miss my Toyo MT's mean look. The Duratracs give that mean look while staying an AT tire.

    Lol l i am never on here anymore, Seams that BBT is not liked on here or miss represented and thats ok. Let me just say this my club and members are some of the nicest guys that love to hit trails, shoot guns, drink beer and talk shit. That being said some people can't hang with our humor and thats ok as well, we are known as assholes by some because we are always joking. I would say come out to a trail run or meet, talk to us and get to know us in person. We set up meets on the 1st and the 3rd Saturday every month. Most of the time we do a meet out in Jean or dezert on the 1st saturday and a regular meet "parking lot Pimping" on the 3rd. hope to see some of you out if not cool also. if you want i can post our flyers on this thread or you can check us out on Facebook or ig BattleBornToyotas have a good one guys. Daniel

    I dont think you guys are assholes. I dont know why people would say that. I been to a few meets. You guys have always been cool. The only thing i see is that you guys are a very closed group. I understand why. I was head of a car club back in the day. But you guys never say when you all are going out. Just see the pics after the fact. Maybe thats why? I dont know. But you guys are nice.

    The last part is true it seems. Always see the pics of an off road trip that happened a few days ago.

    So I was thinking of setting something up for August 7th on an easy to moderate trail. Definitely higher elevation to get out of the heat. Looking for suggestions and who would be interested. Probably try to limit it to about 5 or 6 trucks.

    I should have the new seal in my truck by next weekend. I'd be down. Wheelers pass would be perfect.

    I am new to the Vegas area and will be interested in joining you guys after I get some stuff done to my Tacoma.
    I wouldn't want my small tires and no recovery gear holding up the group.
