    I get to drive home from Killeen in this crap and guessing since ft hood shut down early to all but essential personnel.. there will be a few bad wrecks from some liquid fueled courage.

    Either that there will be ice damage and the power will go out and I end up working all night...

    Wouldn't you like to know!
    The new garage is only 23' deep at the furthest part so I'm pretty sure that the Taco will just barely fit by a you know what hair. With front ARB I think it's around 21-22' long :cool:

    Made it home.. roads got really really bad once I got to sh130. Accident nearly every mile and myself.... I got a bit sideways coming across an overpass. Some good old winter skid control instincts kicked in an I was cranking the wheels to stay in control. Controlled slide across the half the bridge and the truck jerked straight once on some less icey pavement and had to again correct for that. Fun times...

    Other than that and about 25 accidents i saw on the way home It was a good drive lol

    Having gotten up and showered just in case, then watched the news...flyovers, bridges, and elevated roads were all iced over. The traffic report looked like a scene from a zombie film - wrecked cars strewn everywhere.

    Tundras are 228.9", or 19.08'.

    Tacomas are 212.3", or 17.69'.

    I was in a pretty good mood until that. Now I'll just spend the day thinking about how I can chop off a foot to get my disability up to 100% for tax purposes.

    My FIL was the same. When he passed, by law the privilege passed to my MIL...which is the only reason she can afford to stay in the house which she owns.

    It doesn't help that some of her idiot neighbors sold their dump homes valued at about $180K for over $300K, and Travis County took notice. I mean, I can't blame them, but it screws everyone else over on their taxes. :facepalm:

    :D Nah I got the right woman...also I just read that DCLB Tacoma's are 226" so that would be around 18.8' plus add another foot or so for the ARB :notsure:

    Our realtor said it's crazy right now...People paying $100k over asking price is now the new normal :facepalm:
