    Sounds good. I know for sure I can go Saturday and I'm 75% I can go Sunday if the wife comes with me. I'll talk to her tonight. If she doesn't want to go I'll be going up by myself most likely on Saturday.

    Wrecked!
    exactly as he said. go slow, keep the dust down, don't leave any trash behind. There is a few spots that even the locals go to shoot, but make sure you are in those areas. these are private rds and they never close, but that can change in a quick minute if its abused. I tried to keep this area a secrete but the dawg got out. I do apologize to the locals.

    Bahaha! Yeah, I wasn't to sure I wanted to get rid of my Tacoma since I have owned one almost since i started driving but I'm getting used to the runner now and I'm really digging it. If you get one you'll fall in love with how comfortable they are but the new body styles are coming out soon so I would def wait.

    Yeah, I'm doing my retrofit this weekend and the bumper should be done in March so it will not look so girly hopefully.lol I don't know how I get stuck with these colors. I don't know if you remember when I first got my Jeep but it was purple.lol

    Just to be clear they never made a TRD 4runner. 211k isn't bad as long as it's been maintained. Also I'm assuming it's a automatic. If so make sure it hasn't had any transmission and radiator problems. Look up the pink milkshake and you'll know what I mean. Lower ball joints should be changed if they haven't already. Check this link out. Got a link to the ad?

    Yeah he probably put a sticker on it. With 4runners lockers are random. Limiteds have a greater chance of getting one but not guaranteed with any trim.

    You are right on point man. Tacomaworld thinks toyota is here to please just them. We are just a small percentage of tacoma owners.

    Looks good Felipe. Looks like you need to start a build thread soon :)

    Garage is coming along! Get rid of that damn bumper! Taking up too much space :D

    Thanks Kevin! I ended up not getting the wheels because the kid was sort of shady. Thanks for offering to help though, I'll have to buy you a beer some time.

    Stuff
    Spotted white second gen extra cab with ARE slide in camper on 101 northbound around 8am around the 92 exit. I was the dude in the BMW wagon scope'n on your cap. I really need to check them out in person. I like the rear door access but I am not sure it would be good with my toolbox. Guess I really need to just stop by the truck topper store in RWC and check them out.

    Anyone ever built dual cases? I've got all the parts, gotta have someone weld a piece on the shift fork and some bearings pressed. Little nervous breaking into the donor case. Should be interesting...
