    @Tynan has an extra one just sitting here, if you're anywhere close to Pflugerville. Just the F to F lug.

    I do, in fact, have one just sitting here on my side table. I decided to go with the fire ring connector instead of the screw in under the mount and the new kit came with one...

    Great movie series. I watched them on TV with my dad when little. Love 'em. But seriously... you need to decapitate the impostor trucks and become more powerful...

    Missed seeing this post until just now.

    Good seeing out you there, man! Sorry we didn't stay longer to help the you guys and the lady with the hole in the sidewall. Nobody we had ran 35's with that lug pattern, and it looked like you guys had it all together. Neither @Tyanan or the guy in the black T|X Baja had been down to the cut before...so we were bombing down, but wanted to camp North of the narrows in case of bad weather/high tide.

    Holy COW, yeah, that wind was unexpected. I used to camp out there all the time, so I had all 3 rigs parked in a semi-circle as a beach side wind block. Unfortunately, it didn't help at all with the wind coming directly from the North....we spent a night huddled under blankets and watching it rain sand from the top of the tent. Fun times!

    I'm not the only one at work with the Cap shield receiver cover...and ironically the guy who has it rolls in a stock 2014 SR5 DCSB Tacoma. He even had his first. However, he also acknowledges that mine i Captain Ameritruck...especially with the steering wheel cover my son gave me for my birthday.

    The dude with the Mortal Combat 2005 Silverado is looking to rumble, though.

    No worries.
    We ended up putting her "full size" spare on.
    She ran all the way to the end and back with only getting stuck twice.

    Good thing it was last weekend cause as of now the beaches are closed. Waves all the way to the dunes.

    any thoughts on quality light bars that aren't gonna run me completely broke? I have a road armor bumper that was made to work with rigids, has slots of for a 20in in the middle and two more 4inches on either side. Rigid is just too expensive and Amazon cheapos don't seem reliable enough, so I was wondering if there was a happy medium?

    I have a 20" single row that I'm replacing with a rigid if you want to buy this one off of me. It works fine, just want to go rigid w/ amber covers.

    Hello Y'all,

    I'm new to the Toyota Tacoma community as I've just recently purchased a 2017 SR5 a few days ago. I'm absolutely in love with my truck and I can't get enough of it. I'm located in Cedar Park and I'm looking forward to meeting ya'll if there's a tacoma meet any time soon. All the best and I look forward to learning about these awesome trucks. My wallet is already anticipating some serious drainage.

    Thanks a lot man,

    I've seen a great deal of Tacos in the area and I was hoping that we were all in touch. So glad that there's a tight knit community here. I recently saw a gorgeous Inferno TRD with a mean front grille and a gorgeous wheel and tire setup. It officially became the standard for how my truck should look. Looking forward to the meet!
