    Back in a Tacoma again, at least part time.

    After two years of a Tacoma as a daily driver ended in 2013, I picked up a 2011 Regular Cab 4wd with 34000 miles on it.

    I wanted to avoid taking yard waste to the compost site in my Golf R.

    The truck came with step tubes that I removed.

    I tried to put them on the marketplace as free for pickup in SE Wisconsin, but I don't have 50
    posts yet.

    Need to start spending more time on the website.

    They are UWS tubes, a brand I never heard of.

    Once I get 50 posts I'll put them in the marketplace for free.

    Take care, Rick.

    It's a 2017 Golf R, 2.0 liter turbo 292 hp & all wheel drive.

    Here it is parked at work with the GTI wheels.

    The OEM 19' wheels are beautiful but 35 series tires and Wisconsin spring potholes don't get along well.

    That and the stock wheels are $750 each.

    Lurking behind mine is the other Golf R for the building, he just got his a few weeks ago.
