    Far as I know, we're just heading there separately. If you meant going in the restaurant, I would imagine we'll all meet in the parking lot and head inside together. :D

    @Rattletrap66

    Hey, Frank, since I think you have the most accurate count of people planning to show up, were you gonna call and give the place a heads up that they were about to be inundated with Toyota enthusiasts on Sunday? :D

    U better show up, Brah. Ain't seen ya in a while. o_O

    Haha. It's a 75% chance I'll show up. My truck won't be clean but it'll be there. Lol. Only going out to citrus for a few hours. Have a buddy who just bought a tundra on 37s that wants to get muddy.

    Yeah, cause it ain't gonna do ya no good to call the OGT recovery service. I'm still only 3 wheel drive with a gutted hub that isn't sealed too good. I do plan on having her there at the lunch meet instead of Natty though (as much as I'd rather drive the nice comfy T4R with the automatic, haha).

    Well, a washed the dust off the OGT this morning. She's as show and shiny as she's ever gonna be with all the pinstriping, trail damage, and broken parts for tomorrow, haha. :cool:

    Of course, with my luck, it'll probably rain tomorrow morning so by the time I get there she'll have muddy road grime all slung up and down her sides and she'll look almost as filthy as Hugo's truck coming in following a Citrus trip. o_O

    Yup. Luckily we had a winch because a strap couldn't pull him out from where he was. Lol.

    Okay, @Damienk23 , what the hell? You don't even show up to your own meet? o_O What gives with that?:smack:

    That said, it was an amazing turn out, especially considering it was raining. :thumbsup: I counted 24 ppl + kids in the restaurant. Thanks everyone for coming. It was good to meet the new folks and even better to see everyone I ain't seen in a while. :fistbump:

    Here's a few photos...

    Edit: Oh and I think Frank might have even recruited a couple more members out of unaffiliated Tacoma drivers that saw all our trucks lined up and had to cruise down our line to drool over our beasts. :rofl:
