    Yes
    I don’t know about the new XRC, but every one of the gen1 XRC’s I’ve ever used was a pain in the butt to pull out line in free spool

    Also question what does everybody run for coms? I think some of y'all said HAM radio but that would mean I have to take a test correct?

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    Indeed. However, you can just listen. Lol

    Got a couple trips planned. You know I am a motorcycle nut at heart, so 4 of my buddies and I are are rolling out west to do some riding. Got a lot to plan for, leaving on two wheels is different than 4 ;)

    Hi Fellas,

    Fell head first into all-things Tacoma and this forum after purchasing a 2020 TRD Sport a couple months back. It seems like the folks in California and Colorado have it made in the shade when it comes to outfitting their trucks because all the big brands and shops are on that side of the country. With that said I’m getting eaten alive on shipping on stuff. Have ya’ll found any way around this for things like bumpers, sliders, etc. (the heavy/big stuff). Any dealers local to us? Any deals with shops that get volume/shipping discounts? I know GA is a big place. I live about 20 miles East of Atlanta and willing to make a drive if it will save me $200 here and there.

    Thank you,

    Nathan

    Not much out here, there’s Bashfab, SOS, and Bud Built that’s somewhat local but that’s it for any fabrication stuff.

    CVT in Chattanooga for roof top tents and that’s all I can think of.

    sometimes it’s a good idea to wait until a deal for something, some places run free shipping or like 10-25% off which usually covers shipping

    I know both of these companies are probably the closest bigger names around the SE honestly. You can also order stuff from 4WP and have it delivered to their store for free to pickup instead, same goes for Summit Racing

    Sometimes you can reduce shipping costs with big stuff like armor by having the items shipped to a commercial address; ie. shipping dock capabilities.

    Another option (or in addition) is to combine shipping with other ‘locals’ and split the shipping costs accordingly. Most armor vendors will ship products on a pallet or in a crate, so as long as the customers verbalize the combine shipping preference they’ll accommodate.

    Grizzleymetalfab up in north Georgia near Chattanooga. They make a good looking hybrid bumper and rock sliders. They are also cheaper than some other places.

    This is a spare set of tires I had on my truck a few months back. I was getting ready to throw em back on, but noticed this when loading them. Not sure when it happened honestly, and it looks like it didn't go all the way through either. I haven't had an issue like this before and tried searching for what to do. Most sources I found said that since it didn't go through I can just pull it out, try the soap test and see if there's any leaks. Can anyone else give me any other insight on what to do?

    Yup, pull it and soap test it.
