    Dude, let's do it!!!!!!! Even if I won't own a Tacoma next year, I still want to go to TACo Takeover, it's just too awesome to miss.

    Dang, buddy.... I think you'll find that event is worth it though!! We need more solid axle Tacomas to come next year-- to keep Chad, and Jerry company if nothing else. haha :) Make all the silly heeps blush....:cool:

    Dewd, you've told m that you spend an avg of $2000 on your truck every month! Split the $1500 with Mark and it should be easy to bring both yall out here for some good ol' south western wheeling!!!

    It was so funny watching the northeastern guys getting all amped about the smallest rock obstacles and ledges. hahahahaha *cough* *homer* *cough* jk :D The kind of wheeling is just so different form west to east...... I know you guys have rocks too..... but it's different. :D

    But seriously.... you're taco is BUILT for the terrain in Moab. It's a rock crawler! You must make at least one trip. :D

    But really. I don't spend that much anymore. Pretty sure I've only spent around $1k this year. :D It's coming together alot better therefore less $ spent. It'd be sweet to see that place.

    SILAS! if you are selling your truck, i will pay you a small monetary sum for your rear set up, and you can throw some stock leafs and blocks back there and the poor buyer will never be the wiser.

    i require more flex
