    Could do a tundra brake upgrade. They'll fit as long as you're running 16"wheels.

    No experience with Gills but highly recommend Bend Tire off Empire. Been going there for about 10 years and never a bad experience. https://www.bendtireco.com/index.htm

    There's a tire company there? I've been driving past there almost daily for 5 years and never noticed. Always thought it was a boat repair shop bc there's always boats out front.

    My new project: excursion trailer. A friend has hired my "free" laborer to complete by the end of June. She and her kids are going on a very long camping trip.

    I have recently been going to the Point S in Redmond. They have been good so far. I have had them check alignment and bought some Falken tires from them. I chose them over Discount tire who I purchased my last set of tires from. I found Point S to be more helpful and the price was fair.

    Hey Guys, long time. Moving back to Bend in June! Sold my ‘12 taco yesterday. Luckily, I made some coin off it so I’m going to look at the 2002 on Monday.

    Another Bend lurker here.
    Have had good luck with Gil point s with my work vehicles over the years.
    But really, you need to hit up The Fit Garage. They’re Toyota heads and all around awesome dudes...

    Suspension Specialties installed the lift on my previous truck, and did a great job with the CMC. I ran 285/75-17 on my ‘12 with a 5100 lift.

    Coming up to visit this weekend from Bay Area to get a CVT tent. Any recommendations for somewhere to eat? Also how's the weather right now? Snow on the ground at all? Thanks!

    Most of the snow is gone till you get higher up in elevation.
    Congrats on the tent.
    What type of food you looking to get?
