    I'd rather not think of all the $ spent :(
    Just a heads up, I have a Leitner rack in my garage that won't fit a Taco but is for a full size. I don't want to post it here as it isn't for a Taco. Just in case someone has a friend that has a full size truck.

    Gonna be doing a retrofit on my headlights , as well as a hybrid bumper/winch and a lift install soon.

    Hey Owen,

    I moved out of Anchorage a few years ago or else I’d help you.

    If you want to come down to Homer some time let me know! It’s a great town!

    And if you or anyone you know is looking for a place to live, I’ve got a large 2 bedroom with a heated garage up for rent!

    When you planning on working on it? I need to get my rear diff our and have it fixed, GTF set it up barely 2 years ago and something is seriously wrong. Barely has any miles on it either... After I get that sorted out I might have some time to help. You planning on doing the work at the Hobby shop on base? I've installed a few OME lifts over the years so should go quickly.

    I was hoping to do it next week some time.
    I’d probably use auto shop on base just to use the lift. I should have all the necessary tools. I haven’t done a lift since my 2005 Tacoma. So some other hands and experience will speed things up nicely.
    If you want to try and plan something , I’ll message you my cell to set up a time.
    Cheers

    Almost 2 months late on this one... Great trail but probably want 33" tires, armor and a rear locker minimum. Lots of bigger rocks near the end and a few steep climbs.

    Apparently someone stole the lockbox that had the keys to my condo that is for rent. Good thing I happen to be in Anchorage so that I can change the locks out.

    What’s going on with all of the crime in this place?

    druggies are causing most of it. sucks.

    Also if anyone knows of a first gen airbox lying around I need one... My 2.7L airbox is cracked, but I need the intake tubing that goes in the fender for a snorkel.
