    There's this one coming soon...

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-2020-annual-citrus-meet.382269/

    And there's a Toyota Trail Society (FB) coming up @ Hardrock in Ocala, although TTS is only for hardcore folks that don't give a crap about body damage or snapping shit. Toyota Trail Society is inclusive of all Toyotas (HiLuxs, FJs, FJC, T4Rs, Tacos, even Toyota-powered Rock Buggies if such a thing exists) as long as you wheel them hard. Definitely not a show and shine group, lol.

    For instance...

    The Annual Citrus meet is 2WD friendly and you only end up like the two dumb asses above if you do it intentionally.

    (First dumb ass is me, of course, although time-wise, he did flop his first)

    Saw the youtube videos, looks like a fun place. Beats the heck out of offroading on road construction sites around here.

    Off topic from the usual range day or trail meet, anyone in the Tampa area have a go pro (possibly with a Ram ball mount) they wouldn't mind letting me borrow. Not even sure if it requires any specific software to edit the videos or not, kinda dumb at this shit.

    Just looking to try and get some audio inside and outside my truck as someone was asking me about my particular exhaust online. I was only able to capture some stationary idling audio cause my dslr is clunky sumbitch to try and mount anyplace other than a tripod. Sorry for the odd request, just curious.

    Alternative...tape your phone to the frame by the exhaust, drive around, repeat from inside the cab, post online, lol. :D

    Yeah, it's a shame but understandable it was possibly gonna happen. I think a few of the folks are trying to meet up at Quaker Steak and Lube tomorrow at 4pm on their own *unsanctioned event* due to the cancelling. Hopefully if/when this Corona virus stuff blows over and things settle down there will be a few meets to attend soon.

    Well shit, right up the street from my customer "Florida Structural Steel & Tampa Tank". I know that area a little, lots of big companies out that way. A couple of TW members work up and down that strip actually.

    Hey all I know this question has been asked in the past, but I can't find it asked recently. Looking for a good reliable shop in the Tampa area to get a lift kit installed. Most like 5100's with aal. Any suggestions? Thanks.
