    Don't worry, the Tacoma is fine!

    Ugghh, Saturday was fun, but I've sure had an "adventurous" finish to the weekend, and start to Monday.

    Left trivia last night, driving down central, and almost hit some guy ambling across the road who froze in my lane to stare at me.

    Then in the left turn lane, and some presumably strung out example of humanity walked into the left side of my truck as I was slowing down, and bounced off a good 2 to 3 times.

    Then this morning I'm on base going to my office when I stop for a cop rolling through the to intersection full lights and sirens, and the fine gentleman behind me found out how ill advised it is to use a truck's reciever to slow down.

    And now to have my first ER visit in this state.

    The nurse seemed confused about the bruising on my shoulder, until I informed her that I had been shooting. Muttered something about boys will be boys, and wrote me some muscle relaxer. B-)

    Nothing looks serious, just supposed to avoid anything strenuous for a couple weeks.

    We went through 669 rounds of my ammo; not bad, but I had hoped for more. :infantry::goingcrazy:

    I'm going to have to add a leaf to the new rear springs to get the weight capacity & ride height where I want it. Truck handled well. though, and didn't bottom nearly as badly as w/ the stock setup. It does lean quite a bit more in the turns now; I'm going to have to stop driving the truck like a sports car. :\

    Is there a time frame that would work for you? Cedro, or something else close?

    Hmmm... I've never mall-crawled. There are a few nice brew pubs & such in my area, though.

    Anybody else up for driving over Hondas, or whatever? :spy:

    9am or so meet on 7/4 to get Jmad's UCA's muddy, somewhere reasonably close.

    There could be bacon.
