    Whats up guys,
    New to TW, and Toyota but already pumped on both. Live in South Austin and just picked up my first Tacoma yesterday. Look forward to meeting you guys, and if anyone wants to have a cold beer, work on their truck (or mine), or show a new guy some places to use the 4wd feel free to hit me up.

    I had all my cars done by "Tint specialist" down on south Lamar.

    Address is 3500 S Lamar Blvd,Austin, TX 78704

    They usually also have a groupon, that should make it even cheaper.

    Just had my wife's car done at Fabcon in Leander, 183a and 2243. They had ceramic tint, and it really made a huge difference. They did a great job too, were done in 1.5hrs.

    I got UV film on my windshield, that in addition to the tint, the cabin barely gets warm during the summer.

    Anyone know where I might be able to pick up a decent CB antenna locally? Trying to avoid ship times if at all possible.

    Radio Shack? Oh, wait...

    Have you tried Discount Electronics at Manchaca and Slaughter?

    I don't know - but they have a ton of crap in there whenever I need something RIGHT NOW.

    What, there are still Radio Shacks? I thought they followed their strip mall buddy Blockbuster to oblivion!
