    I am considering letting go of my Thule racks. Set up for my 13 Access Cab.
    I am 45 minutes west of Asheville.

    I know that the rails I have have been updated. They are still the Aerodynamic model.
    I know I have the box for the bars.
    I have the box for the Fit Kit.

    Rapid Traverse with Fit Kit 141511.

    Hey Guys,

    In the Hendersonville area. Just got some major work on my truck completed--a frame swap. A good source for parts and work in the area is WNC Auto (Jimmy). All he deals with are Toyota trucks. Not sure what everyone's experience with him has been, but I had a very positive one. Still lots of work to do on the truck, but it is getting there.

    Anyone want to help mount an ARB bumper or do the Tundra brake upgrade? ;)

    Quick question for those of you from the area. I was on old NC 105 camping this last week in the Linville Gorge. I man approached my camp site at night and asked if I could see the Brown Mountain lights. I told him I didn't know what those are as I had never heard of them (originally from IN, and now in Greensboro). He complimented my truck and said he had a tacoma as well so I let him hang out and look at these flashing lights across the way on the mountain. Has anyone else seen them? They were just bright lights that would randomly flash/flicker, sometimes fade out slowly. Show up in random spots at random times. I read people have described them as floating orbs that move. These seemed to be "stationary" as they didn't seem to move when they were seen but were in different positions a lot of the time. I thought it could just be campers but in the morning most of them were showing up where there was a solid rock face of a cliff.

    Can you pinpoint your camping spot on a map? Sounds interesting.

    the last two pics is where the guy said there wasn't any people there because they were showing up on the sides of the cliff and on the sides of that bluff. I looked and saw there are trails on that side so it very well could have been hikers/campers but who knows.

    Anybody have a 2nd gen facelift Magnetic Gray Metallic (1G3) front bumper laying around after doing an upgrade? Had a little run in with a tree this weekend I really only need the smaller part of the fender flare that attaches to the front bumper Toyota calls it a bumper extension. I found a website called partify that will send it to me painted but I’d rather find oem if possible5D2BBDEF-7156-48F3-9C1F-2BC4CEE438AF.jpg E5774BFF-7FC7-48BD-804A-FB4E71D274D2.jpg

    I haven't been up there in a while and am curious as well. If no one chimes in, I'll scope it out soon and report back. Been wanting to take my bike up there anyways.

    Someone on IG ran it last weekend, so I would say that it should be open.
