    Just keep in mind the lower you go in gear ratio the more you have a possibility of weaken the weak links, I.e. CV's and front pumpkin and so on. And the main reason I purchased a taco box which still needs to be installed, ROFL.


    @ Chris And yes, Doug and I commented on you not being there a few times, would have been great to have you with us, was a nice day and great fun.

    One of these days you're not going to have a taco box that needs to be installed.... I wonder how long it would take you to realize it was gone...

    My Friend has a 2009 4Runner Dark Blue, rarely get washed. It is in need of a good detailing without arm & leg cost & the clear coat on the roof is peeling.

    They live in La Mesa, any recommendation on a place to get it clayed and waxed? (at minimum the hood needs claying)

    Also body & paint shop to get the clear coat issue looked at?

    I appreciate any recommendations/

    Double check with the dealer they may be able to warranty the paint issue. I know later model Hondas they covered a paint job under warranty due to the clear coat issue

    Take it to the dealer and ask about it. Owners got sent a letter in the mail about the hood roof and trunk paint jobs

    So who is going to be part of the muddy shit show that is TDS this weekend?
    Should be a blast, the carnage will certainly be increasing.

    So I was walking around my truck giggling about all the things I want to do and I noticed this

    2ymymuda_0d73c265cdf8bc4922e3c8f17e07c0080e144392.jpg

    I knew I smacked my bumper a little bit and wasn't concerned on Sunday at pancake rock but I didn't realized I hit the brake light housing. I'm surprised I didn't see it earlier. I assume that's what happened unless someone else smacked my light yesterday :eek:

    its possible it was cracked but still there during the run, driving home and whatever else to now may have netted its falling off.

    I see a High Clearance Pelfreybilt bumper in your future.

    sorry it happened, ebay has some really good finds for lenses
