    We are still getting some at my house. Work hasn't called a snow day yet, but I don't have to work until 1430. I'm hopeful...

    Right now, looks like about 3-4" on the ground out here in Sterling. I think the last estimate I heard was something to the tune of 6-12" before it wraps up here. Farther south, I don't know about.

    And yeah, I'm out here in Nowhere, NE CO. LOL :D

    Got my workout shoveling this morning. Seemed like 6" - 12" to me in broomfield.
    Roads are empty. Few stuck in the piles from the plows.

    That's what I am hoping for.

    We had a 2 hour delay, but that's only for the morning shift. Evening still has to be there on time. BOO!

    I will keep my fingers crossed the snow holds up.

    I swear ive seen your truck before right around south parker road and florida ave. I thought i saw you when you had first moved to town. But my truck was and is pretty much stock at the moment so not an eye catcher.

    Any of you guys that live over in east denver hit up the brewery The Copper Kettle? I stopped by last week and was amazed that i had a brewery within walking distance from my house. Some good beers too!

    Mine just has slightly bigger tires and a topper on it... nothing special yet.

    There are quite a few Tacomas in the area though. There is a guy with a red access cab right across the street from me. Lifted with URD stickers on it.

    I haven't tried that one yet. We should meet and greet...


    This.

    I still have to work. They over estimated and I got excited that work might be cancelled. bullshit.

    Howdy Folks! Drove into work today, but nobody's here, so I figured I peruse TW and introduce myself to the CO crew.
    I got the new 2012 on New Years Eve and have been loving it so far. Bit of an upgrade from my '94 toyota 4x4 SR5. Although the '94 has better clearance on the stock 31's.
    Putting on 265/75 Duratracs on Saturday. Getting a topper once I get my tax returns back. Once I sell the '94 I'm going to do a small lift. I'm thinking OME with the 884s and a 3 leaf progressive AAL. I've gone back and forth about going 3" with 285s, but just not ready to do that with the brand new truck. I figure I'll armor up and that should be plenty for class 3-5 trails around here. Eventually if I have to I'll go bigger.
    Me: Work at the Anschutz Medical Campus. Spitboard, mountain bike, backpack etc. Always looking for new folks to hit the backcountry with so hit me up if you're interested. I'd love to get a close up view of some modded tacomas too.

    Right now since I'm just going to rock the 265's I want to stay around 2" of lift. Sounds like the Wheeler 3 leaf AAL would be a good bet. Eventually if I go 3" with 285's I was planning on the dakar leafs.

    If you order everything through Toytec (in Northglen) you could probably afford their basic coil overs, by avoiding shipping. That way you can get more lift upfront, when you add more lift in the rear.
