    Since I plan to attend the C&C on Sunday and meet some of you and see some cool Texas Tacomas, I thought I'd share a recent photo of my truck with you in advance since I won't be in it on Sunday haha. It'll be in the airport parking garage in Toronto.

    It's a 2015 TRD Sport, with a TRD Pro lift kit and ICON AAL without the helper, in the back. I would have probably bought a TRD Pro if it was for sale in Canada when I bought this one, but then again, I bought this one off the lot in late September 2015, just before the dealer received his shipment of 2016's. It was one of the very last 2nd gens sold new in Canada. I'd say it's hands down the best pick up truck I have ever driven, and I've driven them all, in very rough conditions off road in NW Ontario and all the way to the Yukon and even to Inuvik on the Dempster highway.

    I run Duratracs in the summer, which look a bit more aggressive, and work better off road, but the Blizzaks on it now are winter tires and pretty well essential for the snow belt conditions in central Ontario where I live. They make a big difference, especially on ice when its freezing rain. Winter isn't the best time to go off road haha, on road is best.

    My next project for it is a dashcam front and rear, probably when I get home from Austin at the end of the month. Maybe Thinkware 770.

    See you all on Sunday morning!

    Dude, you are one of a kind. Thanks so much.

    I appreciate the offer, but I'll need to have the skids installed before the family trip to Big Bend next Thursday the 16th. Will have to remove the diff drop and install the new skids this Saturday. My BAMF sliders are finally finished and will be delivered tomorrow as well. Gonna be a busy Saturday.

    Again, thanks a ton for looking into that for me and for the offer.

    Yes C&C is this Sunday.
    We will be celebrating @ChadsPride last weekend as a single man.
    We will start getting there around 7 because it was crazy busy last month.
