    Welcome to TW! It's where discretionary spending goes to die.


    But in your heart of hearts, the truck does look badass right?

    Yeah, between this site and ADVrider.com, my kids will not get to go to college, but if I die, my wife will have a lot of shit to sell, so there is a positive side. :)

    Lol, $325 for a damn Avid light bar? Sure! That makes sense...:p I figure if you're going to pay the cash to buy a Tacoma, you might as well spend a few % more to make it exactly like you want it! Hopefully you'll be driving it for a long time.
