2021 TW Secret Santa Wishlist Thread

I want my 2020 and 2021 back..........................




But if you can’t give me that.

I like anything out doors for sure! I’m looking to buy my house soon so I’m starting to stock up supplies and other things for that. Also trying to fill my new tool box. Anything craftsman or Milwaukee but I have quite a lot of things as far as those go. Feel free to use the list for ideas but feel free to make it your own!

Shirts and hoodies: 3XL

if you want to reach out to me indirectly @geekhouse23 is my brother

I love to cook, camp, and be outdoors with my wife and two little Chiweenies. I never turn down interesting ingredients, spices, kitchen gear, etc., but please bear in mind that the lady has celiac and we can’t use items with gluten or have the potential to be cross contaminated. My build thread is mostly up to date and truck stuff is always cool. If you have a hard time deciding on some gifts, I would be thrilled with:

- Some photos of you spending time at the local animal shelter. We are avid volunteers and it brings us great joy
- PowerTray for 3rd gen SR5
- Stuff to fill out my overhead molle panel
- 3TPAM accessories
- Subaru tweeter upgrade
- Grilling/Smoking/BBQ stuffs
- Hats
- Funny chew toys and/or snacks for the pups

 

Amazon gift card or gift card to an off-road shop

Thanks in advance! I appreciate your time, expenditures and willingness to participate!

 

Ok so now that I'm signed up guess I'll make one.

So I have an 8yr old daughter and the SS in the past have included her which is really cool. She's just as big into this stuff as I am and camping. Here are some things we have so not to repeat, a shower/potty room, bucket potty, plenty of gear. I have a Tacoma and XJ for wheeling the Taco also doubles as the tow vehicle. I'm not a drinker. I wear a Lg t-shirt the kiddo wears a 9 or 9/10 (yes she wears offroad tshirts.) She's still a little girl even though she goes camping and fishing and stuff, so she likes barbie, art, dressing up, etc.

What we could always use is more solar lights like Luci those are our favorite.
New camp chairs
Ball caps
Soft shackles (yankum dipped preferred or other American made)
suicide knob
Mil surp ammo cans (they the best)
Amercian made stuff for outdoor activities
DD lights (fog, spot, combo, mini light bar etc.)
KC rocklights white

Probably out of the question
Kinetic rope (yankum)
Warn 9RC (shooting for the stars here)
2 BleepinJeep freedom winch lines
kbvoodoo bedrail caps

 

I assume there is no formal structure for this?

All about me:

Wife, dog and 2 boys, 6 and 4, so family is pretty much all I do outside of daytime work hours and evening projects in the garage.

My wife’s brother trains horses and occasionally hauls to shows for himself and others. He has a Freightliner and a dodge 5500 as well as 15, 10 and 6 horse trailers. I have my CDL permit and have joined him for a few hauls, just completed a 50hr one. I really enjoy them for some strange reason I can’t explain.

My wife’s sister’s husband has a family owned aircraft hangar with tons of toys. He has a pretty sweet setup for building custom circuit boards and a lot of his work is in the EV auto world.

2016 Taco MT, daily driver, street focused for now, may be used for winter fun, trying to wind down on mods and “finish” it off. Won’t be doing anything too adventurous with it for a while. Hoping both boys learn how to drive a manual once we get to that step.

Project vehicle is my 2002 Tundra which I bought back from the friend I sold it to back in 2010. That repurchase was a month ago and it’s become the focus for tinkering since I don’t really need to have it roadworthy on a daily basis. I’m trying my best to make it special and ensure another 30+ years of fun with it.

I have quite a few bicycles but my oldest can be fickle about riding bikes and my 4 year old isn’t quite there yet so I’m a bit frozen on actual riding time.

I run for fitness and as a social outlet, that’s the one selfish thing I do. I’m behind on new shorts and socks because I have so many old ones and for some reason I’m a bit incapable of giving up on old stuff (I’m a bit of a hoarder I guess)

I build stuff with wire to calm my nerves at the end of the day from kids and day job work stress. I have 12 large bins of connectors and supplies. It’s gotten a bit out of control.

I did a few years as a “size model” for zoot sports, I’m very close to the US definition of size medium in all dimensions, kind of an odd thing to be so precisely in the middle.

My house is small and my garage is pretty full with stuff so I’d prefer non traditional gifts or something unusual / out of the ordinary /small.

My kids love monster trucks.

 

Weird. Never thought I’d be doing something like this, but going 3 years strong with TWSS and love it!

I’m simple, I think. My hobbies include mountain biking (just really got into it, I could use more jerseys), shooting, freshwater fishing, although California fishing sucks, golfing (could use a new putter), and spending time with my kids playing monster trucks or barbies, coloring and reading.

I like to do things outside, I love Milwaukee tools and continue to build my tool collection. I love watching sports and my teams are: Anaheim Ducks, Chicago Bulls, LA Chargers, Chelsea FC, and Anaheim Angels (but don’t really like baseball). I like dark chocolate, coffee and good simple food. I’m into books, mostly motivational or books on leadership.

I like working in the yard or washing our vehicles. I’ve been wanting to clay bar our taco and 4Runner but not brave enough to take on the task just yet. Been trying to get some cool items to place in our garden. Not really into tv shows other than the office (I own all the dvds). Don’t really like having things I can’t use. I’m a size large in shirt.

i feel my truck and our family 4Runner are perfect. Only final thing I’d like to do to my truck is upgrade the sound system with better speakers. Edit: some nice white head lights for either would be nice.

Edit: noticed someone with an Amazon wishlist. Thought that would be a good idea but definitely don’t feel obligated to buy from here.

View my list on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2SYQ5ZV2D3J2S?ref=cm_sw_sm_r_un_un_YUYPppKsXvDIO

I frequent Home Depot and Amazon lol

 

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Back for another year of awesomeness!

Things about me:
I enjoy hunting
My wife and I enjoy getting out and camping a good amount
I have a build thread that I keep somewhat recent (everything is accurate on my mod list)
I enjoy German Style beers
I like local things that I may not be able to find around me
Patches with velcro backing
Things from Origin Maine

Next "big ticket" item is a snorkel for the truck

 

I'm putting my Amazon list up here. I'd really love the ARB awning most of all, but really anything is great.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3I8VCIF6WL8XG?ref_=wl_share

I've also started collecting patches thanks to my SS from last year.

 

Saved. Officially signed up so I’ll make a list!

It will be a constant work in progress.

Hobbies include:

1. Hanging out and playing outdoor with the new GSP pup. Hoping to get her into birds next seasons so anything related to bird dogs may be helpful.
2. Recently got into cold brew; beans to steep would be cool (bonus points for local)
3. Beer is good. Sours are my go to right now but I’ve always drank IPAs/Pale Ales as well. Definitely enjoy local glasses too.
4. I live in a house from 1900 and it’s a never ending project. Small or handy tools to help with projects that you find useful could be good.
5. Big organization/OCD side of me. I have a few items from BlueRidge Overland and always open for more. Happy to organize the Lexus or the camp trailer.
6. Into fishing (fly and spin) as well as camping in general.
7. Love a good Gazetteer map; I have MA and ME so far. Would love NH, VT! Maybe NY?
8. Shirt size is a large. I don't wear hats. Or pants. Ever.

More to come!

 

I can always use a new hat with a cool logo. I prefer a Flexfit L/XL.

I have basically everything I could need for my truck unless you want to get me a GFC Superlite or an Alucab Canopy.

A Blue Ridge Overland Gear Medium First Aid Bag would be a great upgrade to my current setup.

Cool stuff that your town is known for is always good, hot sauce, snacks, beer, shrunken overlander heads…

The dog like treats and squeaky toys. She’s not very picky.

 

I signed up again this year. I'll make a wish list.

I picked up an 05 access cab tacoma. I've already changed the suspension, added rims, husky floor mats, headlights, grille, hood struts, steering wheel cover, bamf tie downs, LED Swap, battery tie down, Cup Holder, & the anti tweaker device.

My to do list for the truck.
Sliders
Demello 3 hoop front bumper
high clearance rear bumper.
Spindles
285 tires
Don't feel this is what on my wish list.

I camp, I like knives, gadgets, cooking.
I collect velcro patches for the roof of my truck and my wife's truck.
T-shirt size 3x.

 

Wishlist-
Ceramic or graphene kit
Portable batter jumper
OEM LED headlights
OEM LED Headlight Harness
Black door handle covers
Black a/c control knobs
3.0” ID 650# Coil springs (used in good condition is ok)
I’ll add more reasonable stuff, those lights are not reasonable but no one said they needed to be.


Stuff for the pup, she’s 12 this year.

 

Hobbies:

- Working out
- Anything outdoors; hiking, mountain biking, fishing, camping etc.

Tacoma projects:

- Current working on getting new wheels
- Sound deadening - don't have anything for that project yet

Gift cards:

- Summit Offroad
- Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas
- Duluth Trading
- Amazon
- Home Depot
- Harbor freight tools

A fun thing I have done the last year or two was Christmas ornaments. When I went through a big life change, I lost all Christmas stuff; including ornaments.

- Offroad related, tool related, Christmas vacation, fun, etc.

 

Not sure where to start, not really sure what to ask for since I have a bunch of small stuff. We do a alot of solo camping as such I place recovery and safety gear towards the top of my list.

So.something along the lines of recovery gear to good trauma kits , element fire extinguisher perhaps since I did have that small incident at the beach with my lights.

A winch is in my future so maybe a snatchblock or something along those lines.

I know my homemade awning worked , but it was leaky during the heavy rain recently.

Big ticket items, well... armor is.needed. been looking at the sso diy slimline bumper and stage 2 kit. But the bumper kit. Has been outta stock.

 

So here’s my wish list.
I like firearms, camping, hunting, fishing, booze(irish whiskey and bourbon any beer but stouts and porters), and sports(Seahawks, Blazers, Yankees, Mapleleafs) shirt size its xl and hat size is medium or 7 1/4. My wife collects magnets every time we go somewhere and I would love one from your town. I got a 4 year old little girl an a 5 year old bulldog. My truck is pretty much built
In all honesty donating to your local food bank, domestic abuse shelter, children's hospital or animal shelter in my name would be way more meaningful to me then any gift you could give me.

 

There’s only one big ticket item I want from anybody so I’ll just break the ice with it.

The guitar I had when I was a teenager when my parents split up that was stolen from me.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Schecter-T...-Electric-Guitar-Hardshell-Case-/284096419991

That or a 3090 RTX graphics card

Other than that, it’s been a rough year. Been living in a hotel for the last 3 months so it’s been tough for my family and I. Home was flooded, insurance dragged there feet, but thankfully I think we’ll be home soon.

-I have a wife and a 16 month old son and a 5 year old pit bull.

-Amazon/Home Depot gift cards are great.

-Anarchy Sour Diesel ASA softball bat

-A soft topper for my truck

IDK what I want really anymore and the things I really need cost $$$

If you need to stalk me, you can harass @Tacospike to be your middle man.

Thank you for anything you send me. It’s been a tough year so any fun surprise will add a bit of joy to this guy.

God bless and Merry Christmas.
