    Went from 3rd Gen Taco to 3GT4R to 2nd Gen Taco and finally a V8 4GT4R.
    Where in the 559? I actually just moved to Clovis in early March but depending on my work situation, might be moving back to the Bay Area at the end of the year.

    Imagine how high I'd be riding on those 861s without that bumper weighing me down

    House being built in Fowler, but I'll be in Sanger starting October until it's finished.

    Clovis is but 20 minutes away.

    Surprised you'd move back to the Bay Area, unless you're forced to do so? Central Valley is sooooo much cheaper.

    Shit, those springs are long AF aren't they?

    I compared my stock to 906 and thought...cool. Easy install.

    Months later went from 906 to 890...fuck that install :rofl:

    You said you have no armor... did you sell your rear bumper?

    Ahh I get you.

    Yeah I don't consider it as armor but more like, added clearance. Here you'll see/hear my tow hitch kiss the ground at Moab last year :anonymous:

    It's a lot steeper than the video makes it look.

    potentially need to move back and I’ll be honest this heat is killer. Save money on rent but that PGE bill got that sticker shock

    Getting used to it; lived in IL and TX before.

    We'll have solar as homes built in 2020 and later require it; not that it'll give much back to the grid...at least it'll help a tiny bit. :crapstorm:

    @CalTacoma09 if you could finish welding so I can turn the portacool back on that would be great

    That's why they make grinders. I just got out of my garage after fixing my frame and drivers rear coil bucket that failed. There was a lot of really bad, but strong, welds used. There was also a metric shit ton of grinding. It still looks like shit but I don't wheel a show truck. lol

    Yeah, i had to grind down some and redo the weld because it sucked so bad. I go for functionality over looks.
