    Yea that would suck. But Devin is the ony one that I say bad things about here.

    When I use to race R/C cars I almost got in a fight with a dude there. Talking shit on the forum. Ran into him at a race and it almost got ugly.

    You won't it's concealed haha. I basically took some plastic, heated it up so it melted into an L shape, before it cooled, I quickly put all the dash parts together so it cooled between the 2 dash pieces :D

    On the scanguage part I did use automotive tape, but also heated the scanguage slightly and the other piece of the bracket so it sticks better, this way it won't melt off during the summer heat


    Also, you can see how I made my aux switch for my Hella's, the switch to the right of my A-Trac which also has my ipod cable runnig through it. I wired my lights directly to the battery so the truck doesn't have to be on to turn the lights on.
    Guess I should do some write up's for this stuff

    Yeah I was going to ask about all of that auxiliary sh** you got there. I don't have Atrac so I didn't even think to use that space for switches. Although I plan to run my first set of lights on the bumper through my fog light switch. From there I don't know. Want to do some LED rock lights soon.

    The other aux in is for my phone so I can rock out to pandora when I don't use my ipod. Then of course my phone charger. That was the only free spot for a switch, since all the others are taken with A-Trac, and the other a-trac, RSCA, etc.

    We should plan a trail run here soon. I went up towards Echo mountain and found some really cool easy-moderat trails. I had to stop at the begening because my stock taco didnt have enough clreans to clime a little rock garden. It was also too snowy for my bald street tires the truck came with to get any traction in the 5" of snow. I was dissapointed in how bad of traction I got.
    heres a pic I did
    Tacoma3_774d4b747f41e61c4a3a034620448a8d79bdb299.jpg
    I also want to plan another trail run up to Waldorf mine just passed georgetown! I tried making it up there last week but once again I couldnt even make it up the 5" of snow with my bald tires. Once I get my Bfg At/Ko here in a few weeks I should do fine. here are some pics I did last year on this trail.

    Its pretty easy for the most part. A few hard spots towards the top. Great views and mines to look DSC01586_fb93d5959c9457b0cb46e6e24f0accded00b6b0f.jpgDSC01602_9786eb4ab10a73c982232161921af4e644597386.jpgDSC01584_bd48d0b8242bf5991eea4ec713d3c001e75dfd07.jpgWindowview_0c51faf717a2c02dd7c747a8ec3cb0562a9198e2.jpgview_0d9e8b6d114cc3f6c8f5278e449e7aa07546231e.jpgjoeljeep_1b037b3fd49889ffe56fdd991f2583e0eaecd64d.jpgJeepwater_44e0bb70ebc11c28eacfc3900d0237abf95d4146.jpgJeepwaldorftop_22238c3644eea80b6d28d4cc4d295d534c9cd0db.jpgJeepMine_ec08fed5b06c40e2f134fbfe4c878d9b8dc4608e.jpgJeephillclimb-1_5d7cd14fa19f6e98d15ceb3d1594b7f3de8932c0.jpgJeepfinal_948ee2821773c22e7e895b520b28caa76595343c.jpg

    HAHA Ya man. I loved that Jeep though! Its what got me started in the off road world! It was just always breaking down. They are made cheap. The engine sucks,no power. I broke 1 front axle, 2 power steering pumps out, a slave cylinder, and the windshield brakes every 2 months. It was a money pit.

    I just hope my Taco can keep up and do every trail I did in the jeep. besides I needed more room and Tacos are just bad ass period!

    Lol I dont think my truck will make it. My tires are wore down bad. I just slip in light snow. And the top is about 13,800 feet so I bet there is feet of snow once we would get higher! Shoot I got the Jeep stuck up there last may with 4" of lift and 35's in snow lol. what about Rampart Range? Or left hand canyon? They arent far in the mountains and probably not too much snow.

    I have some 32" Bfg M/Ts that would do better but they are for 17" wheels. I have 16s. :mad:
