    Oh man. I hadn’t thought much about relocating my camera. I’m hoping my @Mobtown Offroad bumper comes with a solution.

    yeah I got laid off 2 weeks ago. I have almost secured a new job, a few more steps and if all goes well I would start in 2 more weeks! It's looking like it may turn out even better!

    Damn Jason.... I forgot I have that other camera bracket from when I bought my pelfrey relocation kit years ago, but I have no clue where it is. Can't believe I forgot it came with two different ones and I could only use one of them. I can look around and see if I can find it and if it'll work for us.

    Yeah, that RSG kit is stupid for the money... but I'm getting lazy in my old age. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    It'd be pretty easy to buy some thin gauge steel and put a bend in it to mount somewhere and then go to town with a dremel until the fucker fits. I really don't feel like engineering shit these days though. Maybe it's the cold weather messing with me.

    After all of the electrical shit I've done to my truck I'm willing to pay someone else to do that for me on the 4R, but man 330 bucks is dumb. It's like RSG thinks those OEM connectors are made of gold or something.

    Figured I'd be good husband and hack up my wife's car. That's a good thing to do, right? I'm still new to this married life.

    Lots left to do, but everything's cut, ground down, and painted. Ready for the big show tomorrow!

    Correct term is brownie points..sometimes that actually means brownies too. :hungry:

    My wife and I enjoy this thread so much. Mainly because I also have a MGM taco and my wife wants a white T4R. Can't wait to share the updates on the runner with her!!

    Brandon and Mel = goals!!

    based off @MellyMel's FB and IG I know @trekker is already getting the food treats. Healthy versions that @MellyMel claims to be tasty. I have my doubts if they are as good as the real thing but mad props for eating healthy and sticking to it(except for the occasional earned and deserved whataburger).

    My 2 goals are 1. find a wife and 2. hope she enjoys or gets into offroading and camping like I do.

    Dammit man now I'm hurtin BAD for some brownies!

    Your wife is eyeing a 4R!? That's awesome! Melissa is working on convincing my brother's wife that she needs one too.

    Careful though... I love my truck and wouldn't trade it for anything, but man these 4Rs are niiiiice. I love having a truck bed for wheeling and camping otherwise I'd be in one too.

    I left off the the part about future wife being a sugar mama to buy me more truck parts. :anonymous:

    Though if the new job goes through like it should I'll be making more than I have been!

    I thought about the 4R but also wanted a bed. The Trail edition 4R was only 3k more than my truck and I probably could have talked them down to get it closer to the trucks cost.

    I can see wanting to drive the T4R more than her but I think that would be because it's new and I never drove/owned one.

    My Tacoma is priceless and I will never get rid of it. It has too much sentimental value to me and my wife knows it too. The T4R is probably the closest thing that would ever replace the truck.

    Only other additional vehicles I would want as more of a daily would be some kind of diesel truck to do hood rat shit with or a STI hatch 6-speed. I'll own the truck til I die.
