    Holy dead thread Batman!

    Came in here to see about recommendations for a tint shop around Georgetown, Leander, liberty hill, RR. Not sure how successful this is gonna be.

    I've done my own tint recently, but in the past I've also taken a few cars to Jorge at The Best Window Tint Shop in Cedar Park. I trust these folks to do a great job.

    This thread is all but dead and I'm all but gone to DFW at this point, so I'd really like to thank @indoomitable for hooking me up with his pre-loved leaf springs that I threw on today with some fire-sale Amazon Bilstein 5100 rear shocks that I bought for nothing. 3 hours in 98 degree heat in the garage but it was all worth it, truck rides 9x better now.

    TW is a good community filled with great people.

    Just found this thread, and looks like some folks trying to revive it! I'll add to mix -- looking for paint shops recommendations. 2018 black off-road with paint/clear coat issues on roof and hood. Likely needs a full repaint. Any paint shops y'all recommend within the 30 mile radius of Austin (I'm in Georgetown area FWIW).

    Tundra. I have a fuel pump issue I need to chase down with the 40. It'll start right up if I pour gas in the carb, but only runs for a second. I can't talk the wife into hanging out under the hood, pouring the gas in, even if it's only to TCP.

    Soft Canadians, amirite?

    Turns out I can't make it. I'll have my hands full with a couple pitbulls. But my son will be there with his 2nd gen Tacoma.
