    I was there. Donated a bag o toys, took pics of Deloreans, and BS’d with the Toyota truck crew. I will probably make every one of those shows next year.

    I got there about 9:00 or so. I noticed that a lot of people left around 10:00. I saw the Deloreans and took a picture of that. I think it was an Orange Tundra that I saw. I didn't see any one with it until someone got in and drove away.

    I'll try to get to one of the next shows. Maybe I should find a Tacoma hat to wear so that people will know me. ;) I'll try to hang around the Toyota trucks more and introduce myself. We're here now, so it will be nice to meet some of the local Tacoma guys.

    I have yet to make to Pistons at the Park. I've been to Cars and Coffee back when it was held at the Oasis, but not since they moved down to COTA. I also had the Jeep back then. Also been to Cars and Caffiene at First Texas Honda, but not with my Taco. That one is mostly imports. One of these days I'll make it out to PatP and maybe meet more of y'all to shoot the shit. :blahblah:

    My buddy, Larry (skinny guy from Cycle Nation), owns the one with the GM LV3 4.3L V6 swap and manual. He flogs it every chance he can get. :bikewheelie:

    Does anyone know the process for tinting windows that are already tinted? Do they add more tint or remove what's there and start over?

    Whenever I've tinted windows I always removed the old tint prior to installing the new film. It's the only way to guarantee you're working with a surface that's free of imperfections. Although I'll admit, the job I did on my own Taco isn't perfect. LOL... As for recommended shops, I highly recommend The Best Window Tint Shop in CP: http://www.thebestwindowtintshop.com/. I've had a few vehicles done there. Great work.

    Round Rock, corner of Mays and Texas Ave, Paintless Dent Repair, talk to them. They may not be able to do it, but if they don’t, they’ll have a solid recommendation of who can.

    I did some reading. 2nd gen are one piece. 3rd are two. But you can make it work. One is about 1/8 inch shorter I believe
