    When I got my front bumper I was told 12 weeks
    I thought ok mid February.
    Mid April comes along, no bumper. I call and tell them if it's ready don't send it until at least May 7th because I was going to Florida April 26th until May 7th.
    I get to Florida and check my email. They sent it. Neighbor took delivery of it.
    I was like a kid at Christmas unwrapping it. Being careful of course.

    Now that you guys mentioned it......bumper caps took a while after I bought them to go into shipped status.

    Just ordered another Chromecast dongle for the baby's room yesterday and it's supposed to be here tomorrow already.......


    Hey, maybe when it does come in it can be a mini TW gender reveal....

    We got a call after the blood labs checking for any genetic anomaly. They could already tell us the gender. My wife being as patient as she is, couldn't wait. Of course she made me wait for her to go buy a onesie for the corresponding gender later that day. So now I know too. Guess it's in FedEx's hands.

    Stay tuned!

    Fellow Wisconsin Tacoma enthusiasts! I have some truck parts that need a home. They are completely free. If any of you want them or know anyone who wants them please let me know.

    90 percent certainty it's the last of the actual limited slip diffs that Toyota made. Was told it was from a 2008 TRD sport. Not sure what parts are needed and or missing but it looks like it's in good shape and has a little part of sorts still in that little white box

    If I get my shocks on and the pre-assembled setting I picked has me too high in the front.
    I see 3 options.
    1. Take the shocks off and readjust.
    2. Front bumper/winch to weigh it down.
    3. New rear leaf pack to bring it up.
