    If you want to, come by with your new wheel set up, I'll do CMC and get the wheels on for you. That's if you're getting them shipped already mounted and balanced. If not, I can do the CMC before you get your wheels.

    I have the plates for @ChadsPride, @Spansfelder, and myself. Chad will get his tomorrow and I'll probably plan to meet Florian at your place for an install day. My weld-on sliders arrive on Saturday, so I'll be on the clock for getting those installed sometime with your help.

    Next weekend is open as of right now. This Saturday have @kevron is 90% sure he'll have all of his parts, and Sunday have a repair job. If it was just cmc, then I could fit you in this weekend, but sliders and cmc I'd need more time.

    Monday when @wagerhope and I were putting the sliders on my truck we noticed a spring bolt missing in the exhaust. I called up the service guy, Jerry, that has helped me before at Charles Maund to see if they had the bolts in stock. He told me to bring my truck in. Today I was in and out within 20min. No charge. I know most of y'all like to do all your own wrenching and I was perfectly fine attaching a bolt myself. Just wanted to share my great experience with Jerry at Charles Maund.

    No worries, sliders won't be here until later in the day I'm guessing and I'd rather make one trip, not two. Let's talk more and figure out timing.

    Nassir is the Internet Sales Manager - he helped me order my truck through Brian St. Cyr, the Inventory Manager. Brian can get into Toyota's production system and actually modify allocation assignments. That's how a silver DCSB SR5 got turned into a BBP DCLB TRD Sport with tech.



    I've also heard good things about Jim (can't remember last name, sells A LOT of trucks) too.

    If you talk to Nassir, tell him Cap sent you. We got pricing to match USAA True Car, and got the inventory tax removed as a line item (you don't have to pay it, by law).

    I second Nassir... I didn't buy from him but it was a matter of opportunity, namely, Maund beat him to the punch.

    No sweat. Looking for anything in particular? There was a super-bruh Tundra sitting out front this afternoon - already lifted for you (for a moderate fee).

    I saw a line of Tacomas in the back behind the wash rack about 2 weeks ago, so I know they have some.
