    An open letter to the lifted 2nd gen AC with raptor lights and rolling on 33's trying to go 80 MPH on 71 this morning...

    You okay buddy? How's the hearing - are your ears still ringing? Your teeth still in your head? We heard those tires two lanes over and 40 feet back.

    Oh, and nice truck!

    One reason I want two full sets of mounted tires. Skinny K02's on one set of rims, my Stock OR rims, and tires. You need to use an Audtel TPS when I swap tires, but stockers are just fine 10 months out of the year. I hope I don't lose any fillings!

    My FJ40 with canvas top and K02 had a top speed of 60 mph (stayed off the interstate) but after six hours driving, I was beaten! The first year, I drove to Gilmer. After that had a 2500HD Crew and towed it to Gilmer (much better, same mileage)

    No, the truck was straight. The tires could be heard from space.

    I thought my eyesight was going, but only his truck was blurry.

    Chillin, Chad!

    Just got home from work, not stoked about my weekly Friday bell to bell shift (8am-9pm), but I've got some new toys to play with tonight, so that helps lol.

    Went to the Gun Warehouse in cedar Park to pick up a Springfield Hellcat a few days ago, and saw a gun on the shelf that I've been dreaming about for a looooong time. Said fuck it and bought it too.

    Go Google Tavor x95!

    The Range is pricey, but they have a shitload of rental guns that are fun as hell.

    We did machine guns for my 50th b-day. Had a blast.

    Hey y’all! New to the area…..any recommendations for windshield replacement?? Wife’s car has a good crack, and I could probably replace mine as well.

    Also, any good shops for work on the Tacoma? Current living situation isn’t conducive to working on my truck. Need brakes done for sure, and a 90k service would be nice as well. Thanks!

    I'm a Sales Manager at Charles Maund Toyota... Not gunna lie, not the cheapest since it's a dealership, but they do good work, and I can get discounts for homies (basically, anyone in here lol). Comes in handy more for parts and new cars than anything, but just come see me before you pull into service and I can walk you back there and introduce you to the service guys. Also gotta plug @Texoma for any of the more intense aftermarket work you need. He did my Cab mount relocate recently.

    I'm also the local Taco tuner, and created the best custom 3rd gen Tacoma tune out there, PowerThirst, so lemme know if you wanna make your taco run better!
