    DUDE!!!! I have a huge list as well! And it keeps growing. The RCI bed rack will be here today! Still need to build and mount the prinsu. I have a pressurized water system to install, NAV in motion mod, reverse cam any time mod, waterport mount, redline struts, switch pro mount, lightbar, ditch lights, backup lights, oh and installation of skids... suspension should be here in 2 weeks, bamf sliders a month or so after that. Its going to be a productive week i hope as I plan to knock out as many of these as I can

    The travis county part will have 5 to 10x the tax payment vs the other counties you have listed... may be different for just land, but once you put a house on it, it will be the highest of all those counties tax wise.

    There's also a big recycling fair that happens twice a year at Cedar Park Middle School; they've taken all the automotive fluids we've given them, including the "bucket of misc fluids" that had everything in a vehicle minus trans fluid in it

    So an update on my truck. Went to a mechanic to get my vibration issue diagnosed, and as @Spansfelder had explained its definitely a driveshaft issue is what the mechanic said. My family has done busniess with them for 6-7 years now so we trust the guy, and he said he had an old 1st gen back in the day and had the same problem and tried to cheap out and just replace a few parts (u joints, carrier bearings, etc) then ended up going to get it balanced and still had a few vibrations. That being said I went to charles maund toyota and went to the parts area to get a quote on a new shaft, they printed out the part number and corresponding info... 928 fucking dollars!!! So I decided to go with a Tom Woods Single piece with the double cardan joint or whatever its called. The single piece should be about half the price of the OEM one. And it should take care of all my vibes. Ordered the 887's and about to ordered 5100's from @HeadStrong Off-Road . Next up is the 5160's or 5165's and I should have a complete lift. Sent a PM to Vin over at SCS and the brushed gold are making a comeback early summer so that will give me time to save up for some 17's to clear those maxtracs. The ole' girl is coming along slowly but surely.

    Also went and talked to a salesmen as a "prospective buyer" and got some quotes on a TRD OR Quicksand AC manual... He ran a check in the system for the whole region (gulf states) and there was like 2 or 3 access cabs in any trim level with 4x4 and a manual... It's a unicorn. Anyways, the trd was looking at a sticker price of 36k and some change.

    Good choice on Tom Wood's > Adam's, our club has had terrible experiences with Adams blowing up (not just the U-Joints) and them not honoring warranties. I wouldn't be going anywhere near Charles Maund though. And grats on the shocks!

    Yeah I've heard really good things about tom woods from my jeep buddies and reading other reviews, apparently they go above and beyond with their waranties, like if you straight up tell them you were hooning around and the ujoints explodes they'll still honor it. Whats the deal with charles maund?
