We are still working on our rock crawler. We are going to be doing an all-pro 4 link rear suspension on it. Welding/cutting/grinding stuff is always appreciated.

We have a black lab who loves swimming, toys, and things to gnaw on. We also have a demon kitten who loves things kittens love.

I love wheat beers, sours, and such. Not a fan of hops though Whiskey is delicious as well!

Things to organize a garage/workspace, metal fab stuff, Harley, Subaru, Toyota stuff.

 

I do not need much but have a little girl coming in March 2023 so if you have helpers I can provide our baby registry or anything you think would be useful to have in a 2nd gen for transporting babies. I hear FJ cruiser manual transfer cases are all the rage for newborns (I have a v6 automatic tacoma ) .

Other than the baby thats coming I am a star wars fan, more empire than jedi. I enjoy woodworking, and working on vehicles of course. My build log is in my signature so you can see what I have done to my truck and its fairly up to date.

 

Never woulda guessed Star Wars

Lots of things have happened to me in the last 18months including my mother passing so if you choose to do a donation instead of giving a gift, any quality dementia/Alzheimer’s charity would work. She passed after fighting it for 9 years. Her name was Karen Dunford

 

This will be my 6th TWSS if given the greenlight to participate. Always have a great time doing this!

My list never really changes too much year to year:

- Local Coffee (whole bean)
- Reloading/Guns (list pending)
- Tools (list here)
- Tacoma parts (list here)
- Sports stuff (list here)
- Got a 5 week old, size 2 diapers will always be appreciated haha

 

I have a two year old son who loves Blippi, Hot Wheels and Dinosaurs. I put him first above all else so he’s at the top of my wishlist.

Things that I like:

- Good Coffee (Deathwish is my current favorite for example) always exploring new ones.
- Could use a nice tumbler to take coffee to go.
- I like bourbon like Bookers
- I have an Xbox and Switch
- I like black snap back ball caps with flat brims
- In the market for .177 caliber air pellet guns for rodents.

Merry Christmas and Na zdraví

 

About time to fill this out after some thought.

Since last year, I've moved from CA to NJ and bought a new house so things are a bit different. The truck is still pretty kitted out and I don't need much in that area. I've got plenty of stuff in the house already and the goal is buy stuff once that lasts for life.

If you wanna get wild and throw money at TWSS, my crazy wish list is:

-Le Creuset 5 1/2 qt Round Dutch Oven in a vibrant color
-Blue Ridge Overland First Aid IFAK Bag - Medium
-15 Gallon MegaPot Brew Kettle
-Milwaukee M18 1/2" High Torque Impact Wrench
-Nest Wifi Pro with Wi-Fi 6E or Nest Wifi Router and 2 points

But for real
Take your Tacoma(or Tacoma Replacement Vehicle) and go check out your closest National or State park with someone whose company you enjoy and send me a picture of the coolest thing you saw, and a park patch or sticker from the park gift shop. Some of my best Tacoma moments have been exploring America's National Parks and why have a cool truck if it doesn't take you cool places.

If you know things about exploring the east coast, tell me the spots I should explore and what I should avoid. My time off is more limited and it takes longer to get to cool stuff now so I don't wanna waste trips. I promise not to share with kooks and pick up trash while I'm there.

I like trying out beers and local cuisines from places I'm not and can't get near me. If there is a good brewery in your hood or a place making excellent hot sauce, I wanna try it. If you send me smoked meats, I'll be your biggest fan for a long time.

Lesser costs things I could use
Surefire 123A batteries, either disposable or rechargeable for my Surefire 6P
Panasonic Eneloop Pro AAs
Darn Tough T3005 Mid-Calf Lightweight Tactical Sock, Size Large, Color Black

Higher ticket dream list... in case santa is ultra generous an needs a write off for there business lol

Rci full skid plates

URD crossover pipe, this wqy can fix the smashed oem one..

Costal offroad high clearance rear bumper kit.

Lift kit 2.to 3"

Reality is, I have alot of stuff, an really can not think of many must have items, I know the crew here is an amazing group and have a wide range of things they have found useful. My interests an hobbies are wide an varied. An will update ifni think of anything

 

I'm seeing a trend with people who have been on here a while; my truck is pretty well built out and I have most of the recovery gear I need. I could use a winch line extension, but those are expensive.
Eventually, I'll be replacing the hazy headlights with some 2015 Pro black ones.

I do like to cook and eat/drink good things, and we enjoy camping.
Have a new baby who will be almost 1 y/o once this Secret Santa starts.
Camp cooking stuff is always good, or any "I love this thing, it has been such a lifesaver for us".
If you have a craft brewery (or distillery, or winery) near you, I love trying new things. Mostly boozy stouts and IPA's, but I also enjoy a good sour. I'm open to trying new things.



Alternatively, Amazon, Home Depot, and Harbor Freight gift cards are always good.

 

I realize I’ve been just barely active enough on here to participate, and it’s all been bullshitting.

Some info about me currently: 27, just bought a house and 2.5 acres. Currently building out my garage, about to add some LED lights and tool organization. Already have a massive toolbox, welder, engine hoist… normal shit, but if you have any small things that are useful that I wouldn’t think about I’d love small stuff in the area. A collection of 10mm’s would be sick since everyone knows those always disappear.

I no longer own a Toyota. I’ve got a ‘17 f150 daily and an LS swapped e36 coupe that I’m buttoning up to auto-cross.

I wear a large shirt, 32 pants, enjoy shooting (9mm, 300blk, 5.56), cooking, wrenching, and just spending time outdoors in general. I love getting the smaller gifts of like local seasonings, coffee, and other useful stuff. I’m re-building my collection of fabrication stuff so clamps and angle magnets are always good. Corner jigs, etc…

My girlfriend and dog live with me, so dog stuff would be well received. She’s a golden retriever/ Australian shepherd mix and destroys anything that isn’t hard rubber.

If you’re looking for something specific and don’t want to guess on the gifts:

-Any Mr. Buddy heater
-Any 22mm NATO watch strap - prefer black. I have small wrists.
-Energy drinks. Monster zero is my go-to or alani nu. Any of the Celsius vibes. Just order them via Amazon prime.
-slim fit Duluth free swingin flannel in a Large
-set of metal camping utensils. Not backpack grade stuff, heavier duty that I can keep in my camper but organized in a roll or something.
-groove life belt. Dark brown
-a good multi tool. I mountain bike a lot so a lighter one for that would be tight
-if you’re from Texas and can send me like 8 things of “Texas hot salt” from HEB, that’s all I want and/or need. If my SS isn’t from Texas and someone who is from Texas reads this, hit me up and I’ll pay you to ship me some. I live off that shit.

looking forward to stalking my giftee and having some fun with this. It’s one of the things I look forward to every year!

 

Not a taco driver anymore (i know don't flame me, at least it isn't a subie hehe)
currently in an 18 GMC Sierra SLT crew cab. not really wanting to do much to it, might add an underseat storage compartment for the backseat but still on the fence on that one.

married coming up on 14 years. 2 dogs, both huskies. older one is Ziva, younger is Toby. The younger one loves any and all toys, especially bones. stuffies don't last too long with him but he has a couple favorites he doesn't destroy. anything that squeaks he really enjoys. the older one loves treats.

not overly picky on gifts to be honest. local foods/sweets/wines/rum/whiskey would be cool. wife really likes the fruity or sweet wines. not a crazy spicy fan, a little bit of heat to sweat is my preference. t-shirt size is a large or xl (depending on fabric).

Nothing wrong with good old fashioned lego sets either

about to transfer to shore duty (non deployable for those that don't know what that is) in the spring and it will take me out to retirement. also just picked up Chief in the Navy this year so anything with that theme would be cool too.

will update as i think of more. check prior year wishlists for ideas too.

Added: my folding camping chairs are about done for. Had a Coleman one for almost 15 years that finally gave up and a Walmart brand that’s been going on 10 years and getting close. Some sort of a collapsing wagon/cart would also be nice for.

 

Congrats on the Chief thing, I'll have one of these sent to your house.

Tried to make it easier by posting in my build thread but also posting here now..

if you don't want to get truck stuff, I wear a tshirt/hoodie size xl. I like outdoors related gear, EDC knives, merino wool socks, chocolate (even though my waist says I shouldn't), Oakleys, or something cool from where you're from. I kinda want a weld bottle organizer or a new cart

I also have a motorcycle (just got a year ago. Its an Honda Adventure bike, so essentially my truck, but with 2 wheels). Been riding for 10 years, but anything motorcycle related is always appreciated and will get used.

 

I just got back into the camping scene so anything camping/outdoors. Truck stuff can be any sort of recovery gear. Hi lift, straps, shackles etc. A midland gmrs or handheld gmrs. Unrealistically a winch lol. Clothing I wear size XL shirts. If you wanna send me a case of your favorite beer that works too. I collect patches. Do need extra set of tools for when im on the trail. Any wrenches, sockets, pliers or tool bags etc would be cool too.

 

I like tools, truck stuff and camping gear. Favorite jerky, local or great patches and decals. Would love some Cadillac horns.. I'm easy, here's some stuff I like in no order

Hola! I’m a simple guy and don’t buy myself much at all. I have an Amazon wishlist that I use to remind myself that I should buy things for me, but never do lol. Anyway, if you want to avoid Amazon, I enjoy cookies, coffee, beer. I usually wear local burger or brewery tees on weekends. I’m a size Large. I love watching sports. My teams are the LA Chargers, Anaheim Ducks, Chelsea FC, Anaheim Angels, and Chicago Bulls. I enjoy golfing and am an avid mountain biker. I try and ride at least 1x per week. It’s difficult some weeks because I coach baseball and softball for my two young children. I also have two doggos who enjoy running and playing. For ease, here is my Amazon wishlist, but don’t feel the need to commit to it:

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2SYQ5ZV2D3J2S


If you’re feeling generous, I’d really love this:

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwauk...Kit-W-2-0Ah-Battery-and-Bag-3453-21/320559163

My favorite store is Home Depot. I enjoy gardening and fixing what I can around the house. I also enjoy Carl’s Jr. and In N Out if I’m looking to grab a quick bite to eat.

 

Removed. Thank you to all who patriciate in this event.

 

Well, it’s been an interesting year for me. So some ideas:

Lost my 2nd gen to an uninsured driver so have a 3rd gen now. After 12 years of having my truck the way I wanted, this year I’m building out a new one. After going a few weeks with no vehicle, I bought myself a Nintendo Switch to kill time, never thought I’d get back into video games, but when you’re stuck at home with lots of time, it helps.

I love beef jerky, I’m a University of Texas fan.

I no longer watch professional sports….don’t get me started!!

I’ll be doing all my own maintenance on my new truck so these would help:

Hey all,
I started a Wishlist on amazon but if there are better brands or stores out there that have these items go for it! Just wanted somewhere to gather everything.
Recently got a warn winch and it came with a Factor 55 Ultra hook. I do need to get recovery/winching gear that will work with this now so if you have any pointers I'm down
