    Hello SoCal TW!

    Figured I'd introduce myself as I'm sure I'll be engaged some a reading to learn a lot.

    Name's Alex.

    Looking forward to a new hobby

    Day2
    Added some cheap AT's because the factory road tires seemed pointless.

    Yeah I already see that happening.

    So many things I'd like to do.

    Biggest struggle is with regards to what to do first.

    I'm thinking.. Black out grill, remove air dam, get black TRD Pro wheels. This is something I could probably get done in the next week or so.

    Then on to a mild lift to level it out.


    Anyways. Thanks for the welcome! Haha

    No I don't believe so.

    I've been out to Azusa and Glendora in this truck but not Pasadena.

    I referenced the other cities because there off the 210 as well.
