    You just want you truck to be awesome like mine! :D

    I told you that bumper looks bad ass! Plus with your flares it will really look great.

    No way am I going to 35's on this taco but I like the look your getting out of yours. Interested to see how well you do over the summer on power, gas, and wheeling.

    Hopefully I can make it out to do some wheeling with you this summer.

    Well my last two tanks have been about 16 and 17mpg running around town (stop and go city)

    Went today to do "Steve's Loop" near Pyramid lake, NV.

    35's stuffed fine, everything did great. Tried to go to Fastenal yesterday for fender clips but they were closed. Will have fenders done tomorrow or Tuesday.

    That looks like some good wheeling! Do you have any closer shots of the jeep with the stinger beside the red jeep?

    That's so badass! What do they mean by "typical tacoma owner" with the shot of your rear fender? Were they giving you a hard time for not having the flares on?

    You're right about the red chair now that I look at it closer. I thought it was red with a tan top.

    She's a Frontier owner. I helped her out yesterday swapping in new 5100s and coils and gave her a hard time because she's got a different name on CF but I saw her in that "Tacoma hunting" thread and was giving her shit and she felt stupid. So we've been giving each other a hard time back and forth and she said she was going to take pictures of my ghetto chopped up fenders and post them on CF and talk about typical tacoma owners. All in jest. :D

    I had a little trouble with the tight corner on one fall but I got up without too much issue. I think a little rubbing, but nothing I can't live with. Sliders sure saved my ass, so did my IFS skid. Also, there aren't any good pictures showing it but I chopped my exhaust at the down turn over the axle before this run.

    Made it to Rock Springs, my home for the next 3 months. Truck did okay. 16mpg between Reno to Salt Lake even with all the shit I packed and hauling my 500cc quad and 35s, going 75mph. The hills between SLC and Evanston it did not like with stock gears. I did about 60mph up most of them and it wouldn't really go any faster without shifting into 4th. Didn't seem to do too bad MPG wise. I will find out soon.

    Also got the rear flares done so I will post up pics soon.
