    Congrats on the baby! Boy or girl? Your first?

    Wasn't much of a winter for skiing so you didn't miss alot. Not sure how the river will be this year. Not much snow to melt. If you are doing the box this year you had better do it early.

    yep Rim road is now paved!...I love it! cuts off about 10 minutes of commute....I live 7 miles west near the Petaca, in an earthship. Not many neighbors because of the roads or lack there of....and the few of us out here like it that way....but really need the Taco to get to work in Taos everyday. I wish I had gotten the TRD package!

    Am trying to decide if I want to put money into upgrading my truck or trade it in for one with the TRD package....any thoughts?

    Well in my opinion I think the only think you would have really like is the e locker, I'm not sure if you know a locker is but it helps a lot :D.

    Anyway its up to you if you feel the need to up grade either the truck or parts. You can get a locker for you truck anyway where from like$300 to like $1200 just depends on exactly what you want. I would post some links to options but I'm on my phone and its a pian haha

    Hope that helps a little

    Just like two weeks ago he cam to my house and we installed his OME 885's, 5100's, LR UCA's, OME Dakar leaves, etc. He's rolling in style! I even took him out to the Glade for about an hour before he hit the road back home.

    He has a thread on it out there. I can find it if you care.

    Did you ever see the thread for my new rear bumper?

    E locker - locking differential? - the button you press when you are stuck sideways and have to crawl out the passenger window....?

    yep, that is what I want...

    also some more ground clearance.

    and I need to connect with someone here in Taos who can do the work for me.

    chrome grills will have a different effect with paint. It's not as easy to paint chrome than it is to paint a plain plastic grill. The chrome doesn't really hold on to paint really well which is why Taco505 is saying it's easier to just get another grill.... you can find them for cheap online not painted... I think taco505 has the website....
