    I would strongly consider replacing my TRD stickers with that. Wonder if I could work some TRD red into it...

    From that first day we were texting and the idea popped up of just getting together to talk truck stuff and check out everyones rigs, this has become an awesome project. Im impressed that its gone this far and we have this many fellow taco fans that want to join up and have a good time just enjoying the company of other enthusiasts from the local area. I think the direction youve taken this ben is great and im all in with ya. If we can put AK on the map finally with 4x4 companies out there, maybe we can establish ourselves as regular participating community in the 4x4 world and actually be recognized by the lower 48er's. we have so much potential up here with all out land that we should feel obligated to take it upon ourselves to find places others havent been to! Then we can post pics of our excursions that show everyone else what kind commitment we have to being major roleplayers for the market. This could begin it all guys. All it takes is a little commitment and passion to achieve great things. And while some of us are here for knowledge, some for friends, some for just pure entertainment, i think we can all agree that we share a similar passion not only for the trucks we drive, but for the community that drives us. Lets see if we can put AK on the map for good gentlemen.

    Thats how I got mine. I love that thing. Finally got all my settings dialed in the way I wanted them. You'll have to let me know what you're intake temperature gets normally when you get into town. I'm wondering the effectiveness of my Cold air intake vs the stock cold air intake. I imagine they'll be identical at that point.

    Yea just one that has Toyota mixed in with the Alaska state behind it or something. Just because my family has four 4runners, and 3 Tacomas so I want something I can put on all of them. Not just the Tacomas.

    I have the TX Trd and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to replace that blasted TX with AK.
    I just have to find the right sticker shop...which is difficult from 3500 miles away.

    Wet Okole's are THE SHIT. I don't know what cost $700, but they better have wiped your ass for you. My set was only 360 (or something like that) and I have the full black with grey piping, lumbar support, heated, and pistol pocket.
    Was it $700 for the front and back?

    My first GB was my bumper. I f'in love my bumper. I think I have pictures of it on here...
