    Going to have to get Camo tape for my crutches if it lasts to long.

    The doc’s have been changing up my BP meds to get it under control and Sunday morning I got up about 3:30am to take a leak and bent over to flush and everything went fuzzy and I was on the floor.
    God bless my wife she herd the racket and charged in and found me on the floor but helped me up to soon and I collapsed again from my BP tanking.
    At some point I gashed my forehead and hurt my foot.
    She learned a good first responder training example to assess things before charging in.

    Thanks guys!

    yep just the left foot and I have a auto. Several years ago I rolled the same ankle and never missed a beat. Gimped around a few days. But with this I can hardly put any weight on it. But yet they say no break can be seen??

    Anyone know of a good place to get heated seats wired up? Bought a kit with my clazzios, not sure I want to mess with it myself. Although I might

    I don’t know, if he had matching red TRD letters on the skid I think that would trump the Skewp.

    FYI it’s a Vinyl TRD sticker. If you wanna rip on it at least identify it properly. Hahaha.
    I’m gonna JDM this shit out of it. Why? I love hearing opinions from others that don’t pay my bills!!

    Lol

    I was more than happy to get rid of my super outdated 2nd gen. My 1989? Way better than any Tacoma. Made in Japan and ran like a tank till another tank (30 ft Penske moving truck) tried to cut across a 4 lane Hwy (he only made 3)

    I recently took off my bpf TRD skid. The crappy manufacturer coating was peeling and it was rusting....looked horrible. I got it powder coated, it came out awesome .

    but i recently heard on TW that the powder coat is NOT all that durable as its made out to be

    if it gets chipped or scratched and water / chemicals get inside it just starts peeling away :notsure:

    And out nice.....my skid was pitted pretty bad on some of the edges. He blasted all the rust off prior to powdering it but you can still see where the pitting was.

    powder coating is as good as the process. Some people cut corners on prep and those rust in no time. Good prep and it’ll last a long time.
