    Hello all. Just got an 18 Taco, and am thrilled but learning little by little. I cant get rid of my manual 07 FJ but if they come up with a really nice supercharger I may have to sacrifice it.

    For any FJ converts, I am Mungo on that forum and was member # 31 or something crazy.

    I plan to stock spare axles, etc (things that break) for anyone in the area or who breaks something at Hidden Falls. Your donations are welcome and can save someones weekend. Think about it when you upgrade parts that you dont need and may not sell easily.

    I also drive back and forth in TX so if you guys need a hand transporting Tacoma parts and things between buddies or buyers, let me know.

    Thanks, I plan to contribute. I am doing a DIY tonneau cover this weekend. Hope I did not just blow $250, but this was necessity and not just to save money. I purchased a 12" toolbox I love, and that makes my cover pursuit a solo venture because no one has an adjustable kit that works with the 48" of bed i have left.

    Howdy! There's a huge Austin and Texas crowd on here, so mosey on by. We also have the world-renown Triple-C Chop Shop for all your cutting and grinding and lifting needs, run by @Texoma.

    We meet monthly at Cars and Coffee Austin (out at CotA now), so peruse the Austin and TTC threads for details.

    Welcome to TW!

    That's them!

    i probably wouldn't put a lot of faith in the SC option... Mag hasn't put out any actual info that's compelling yet, just some light talk about plans. but there is OV... have you taken a look yet? NA tuning options are good and still improving, and there's a TT kit from him in development with specific announcements said to be coming soon.

    are you on MT or AT?

    and, welcome to the Taco side.
