    Looks like the Chip went up overnight at Durand again. Can't find useful info on the Black. Oh well, got no real plans so I'll find fishable water somewhere if the Black is high.

    Good morning all, we just had a couple quick showers yesterday afternoon up here. No storms thankfully. The WI. River by me is up a bit but not raging.

    Went up to the shack today to run the bear baits and just hit the woods for a few hours.

    When tree’s fall over your trail and you only have a hand saw you make a tunnel.

    Just drove my first Tacoma back from Texas.

    It has a fair amount of things done to it as you can see.

    Do any shops in Wisconsin regularly work on these? I want to verify that the suspension and supercharger are working/done properly.

    I haven’t found a proper 4x4 shop that deals with Tacoma’s in WI. But Chitown 4x4 in the Chicago suburbs is a great shop.

    I know @BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT has used a shop in Baraboo.

    You might try Performance Off Road in Sussex. I don't think they specialize in Toyotas, but they seem to know their stuff.

    Also, I believe @Z7Xtreme has been dealing with Performance Off Road in Sussex. At least, I bumped into him there. He might have more input

    According to the owner of Performance Off Road, when I talked with him at their open house, the shop mostly works on Jeeps, though they have done a few Toyotas before - he also owns a 1st gen that he steadily modifies

    How much did they charge for that? I'm thinking of doing ditch lights soon. I'm debating doing the work myself, or letting a professional do it.

    If I remember correctly it was $100.00 for the lightbar and ditch lights.

    I'll probably do it myself. Especially since I'll be broke after I pay for those rigid SS ditch lightso_O

    Are you planning to do anything to keep the lights from getting stollen or just extra loctite? I'm not in a sketchy area but it's something I've been paranoid with.
