    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I never go that far south :laugh:. Closest I get to that area is my Costa Mesa customer... But I rarely go there. Surprised you haven't been seen though. Quite a few guys down that way.

    haha. not sure that would work. the problem i am noticing is as i pull up to 90% of other tacoma drivers, i look over and its some 50+ year old dude with no clue i am even next to them, even if i know for a fact they saw me. just such a popular truck, then narrow it down to possible people that are into modding, then narrow that field down to possible people who would actually be on tacomaworld, then narrow that group down to those who would actually post or know of the sighting thread. haha. i swear it comes down to like 1% at that point... odds of being sighted are pretty shitty.

    I'm on the road all day for work in my Taco. 405/55/91/57/22. Lots of patients in Westminster, GG, FV, HB, Santa Ana. See tons of modded Tacomas, I should post more often.

    Speaking of McFadden. Used to see a patient in a neighborhood there off McFadden between Bushard and Magnolia. Drive by and admire some house with 2 or 3 super modded SAS Tacos in the front. Think it was Rock Solid Toys (RST). Those were some sweet rigs.

    I see you did a little nip slip of your own truck in that picture there. That's borderline self-spotting according to regulations.





    Nice truck(s).

    back in the olden days of CustomTacos and TTORA, almost every modded tacoma was easy to trace back to someone on the forums... after 2006, modded tacomas were flying off the shelf and now my neighbor's gardener is rolling in a lifted taco with wheels and tires that he knows nothing about... he said he bought it that way from the dealership...

    ARE Shell. Pelfreybilt front bumper. hi-clearance rear bumper w/swing out. Rigid light bar/fog lights/reverse lights. Pelfreybilt front skid. Home/hand made slidders. DR front coilovers. Camburg UCA. AllPro Expedition leaf pack w/u-bolt flip and Timbren bump stops. 285 70-17 on stock rims with Spider Trax wheel spacers. EBC slotted/drilled rotors with green pads.
    I spot a lot of modded trucks but never have time while driving to be taking pictures. They go by too fast or I'm too busy looking and forgetting to take pictures. Plus half my commute is in the dark on the way home.

    I've been wanting to get up there and hit the slopes, but I can only imagine how insane it must be with all the people right now.
