    Having had several trucks over the last few years... hands down the best thing I've ever driven truck wise. Next time we see each other you'll have to drive it.

    We had some great turnouts over the winter, and April's lineup was huge! I'll be back out there once some family issues resolve.
    Yep, added.

    Will be attending, and if anyone is interested I have a 05-11 nfab bumper light bar with (4) 7" Hellas with cali raised switch for sale, and an OEM roof rack with the RC brackets/40" RC curved led bar/cali raised switch and harness for sale. I can bring them to the meet if someone is serious, I'm coming from Cypress. So PM me before 5pm if you want it so I can run to my shop and get it as I will be going to bed early today so I can make the 4am drive to the oasis in the morning

    Sitting at AutoNation getting my 18-month Toyotacare done, and I see a sign for $3,000 off 2017 Tacomas. They have a bunch in stock.

    Just sayin'...

    Mine wasn't on the list of VIN recalls but was also leaking so everyone should double check.

    Has anyone that's had there's recalled noticed any spots on their driveway? I haven't noticed any fluids leaking, just had mine in a couple weeks ago for routine maintenance, and haven't been notified personally. I'm assuming I'm in the clear. Or is this something that needs to be specifically requested?

    In other news, got both sliders mounted now. Still need to get a torque wrench so I can properly lock them down. Working around the brake lines was a bitch as you have to adjust their position around the new bolt. Nicked one of the lines when drilling for a hole. Other than that, they came out pretty nice

    Downside, is that now my truck looks like it rides lower :pout:
