Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

awww yeah!

 

Anyone know of a toys for tots truck event?


hey @geekhouse23 ,

Chi-town 4x4 have a event?
Is Matt setting one up?

 

Holy shit.

I was JUST coming on here to post something like this. Get out of my head, Randy!

In all seriousness...this would be a cool idea, especially this year.

 

@GARSHA91

 

Im sure more than ever some people could use this for a child during these crazy covid times.
We/I definitely could use something to help someone this year. I’ll wait and see if chi-town had something. Wasn’t sure when or if they have one. Always wanted to do this. Now that wreaths Across America is not allowing people at King, Wisconsin this year I was looking for something to help out with. If anyone has anything let me know! I’ll wait on @geekhouse23 and his Bro @GARSHA91 to pass on info.

 

Years ago I was in a 4x4 club in Illinois, we had a toys for tots on off-road rally(some members lived on farms and we could go through a portion of the field but most was figuring out where to go following the directions we got

 

A bar in Racine is collecting gifts through 12/14/2020

The normal collection place in Racine got cancelled. This bar stepped up.

If nothing is happening maybe we can meet Next weekend (Saturday 12/12/20 or Sunday 12/13/20) for a beer and drop off a toy or 2.



If someone else has a idea or a place running one post it up!

 

How a group thing and a lot of toys, people can send you toys to donate if they cant make it just think a Tacoma with a bed full of toys
maybe donations from stores also

 

I’ve never been involved in one before. Not even sure how they run. We had a bunch of Tacoma Events in Racine/Kenosha area all year. (Beer gardens and meet ups.) So if someone has a area in the state that we can jump in I’ll go! ... or in Chicago area. I just saw a local bar in Racine is a drop off location. Worse case scenario meet for beers and donate a toy.

 

Tacoma events would work just need the people to come with a toy, anywhere

 

I will post in the Facebook group and get back to everyone.

My brother does a thing with patch makers on the "Toyota Patch Club" page on Facebook. I THINK, makers send him holdbacks and he does an action on a patch or bundles. Anything he makes, he goes to the store, buys toys and takes them to the location to drop off.

The auction was Friday and he and his gf went to the store last night to buy the toys.

Let me see if Chitown is doing anything this year. Not sure how things will work with the Rona though...

 

Woot! Calendar submissions...

 

I voted 4 ya!

 

There was a group called CORE4x4 that used to do it and I’m not sure what happened with it. I will email the local toys for tots guys and see what the say

Remember us little folk when you hit the big time.

 

Lol! I'm just lucky there was only one first gen 4runner entered. they look so badass with a lift and tires. Next year we need to put one of our group pics in there!

 

Dropped off my truck for the fuel pump recall this morning and received a call from the dealership immediately after - salesperson wanted to make me an offer above the original value of the vehicle.

They were probably just stunned at the glory of Taliban Tan, which is obviously the best color choice (not up for debate).

 

Nice! Hope the fuel pump fix works. I was on the list, then off.
