    Looks like my tint works well. I looked and waved at you while you were laying down in your passenger seat looking up at me.

    Damn it Paul, you started all this. You let the first guy ride with a Jeep, then another wants to join in (Kyle). Then you finally end up with one of the Nissan guys wanting to be a part. The next thing you know, we will have a VW Beetle with 35's wanting to come with us!

    Just messing with you. I might try to join you guys on Sunday. Just be ready to hear Tacoma this, Tacoma that. Also pray that you don't get stuck in something we make it through. A Tacoma pulling a Frontier picture will show up on the forum.

    What have you done with the Frontier mod wise? Do you have a CB?

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    Is there wheeling this sunday? I may just have to figure out why the jeep is smoking and replace the power steering pump...

    I don't care about all that, i'm just out to have a good time. The truck is brand new so no mods yet. I'll probly just go with a leveling kit/mini lift and some better tires.. Pretty sure these stock tires are going to be worthless in any sort of mud.

    Alex mentioned going out on Sunday and Travis(?) was thinking about joining. I have been wanting to get out again, so I just threw my name in the bucket. Looks like you might be interested, so we may need to move this over to the Mod/Meet thread and make it official.

    I saw in your pics that you have your antenna mounted for your CB. I assume you have it up and running. I finally hooked up my PA speaker last weekend. I want to pull it back out and paint it, but I have it working.

    Ill likely be helping out new member from bham install his new lift on the 20/21st. Come help, and we can do your aal too. Maybe get in a little wheeling after, if my truck is ready by then. Doubt it will be though.

    wheelers doesnt sell square end ubolts(i have a ubolt flip kit) and they only sell the poly bushings and im wanting the oe rubber style a little more(from my experience with poly along with stories from friends choosing rubber bushings)

    bushings wont be hard to get jsut gotta go to the dealership tom or fri and pick them up, might be more difficult to find the ubolts though???

    If you're doing a u-bolt flip don't the ends need to be radiused to fit the axle, rather than square? The ones that my OME kit came with were square, and were fit to the profile of the leaf pack. (no flip kit)

    Thanks, i'll keep my eyes opened. It's really nice to see people from my area.

    It's not a tacoma, but here's my truck. If any of you guys see me driving around make yourselves known.

    You can't buy just the extended u bolts from allpro? The entire flip kit cost me $50. Just the u bolts should be cheaper.

    If you have all of your stuff but the 20th, bring it! I do have a bit of experience messing with those. Remember i had the expedition leafs on mine.

    well just the ubolts from allpro they want $38 for and then they said about 10-15 dollars for shipping, i responded with "well i would be better off to just buy a new flip kit for that." and they said "yes, do you want to go ahead and make that order now?" so i hung up.
