    I would love to get this installed at the mod meet but I will just wait and see what everyone else needs done and has time for. As for my 4runner I don't have a build thread yet which now that I think about it I really need to start one with all the stuff I have planned. I dont have a gas can on the back of mine tho...yet, haha.

    I feel like I haven't seen any of you in Huntsville yet, but I feel like I see different Tacomas and 4Runners with some mods to them all the time. Why are these people not on Tacoma World?! haha

    HAHA! That we did! I couldn't tell if that was you until I got in front of you and saw the Satoshi and lights. Then I was hoping the light would catch us so I could holla at you for a sec.

    Added BlackBeauty04 as possible on the first post. Looks like 7 confirmed at the moment and 12 with the possible. With just the confirmed, that would make it a decent meet.

    Looks like great timing for a few projects.

    @BAMATOY Yeah, I wasn't sure if it was you until you passed me. I needed to move over for the light and then I decided to move to the furthest lane so you could roll up beside me if the light would have held.

    My UCAs are shipping today so should be here before the meet, but we don't have to plan on doing them at the meet. I would be more interested in being a part of the lift install than anything. Feel like I would learn a lot from that.

    You can figure about 1 hr each for the UCA's. Bring them with you no matter what, you might be surprised with how easy it can be to install a lift and there could be plenty of time. Remember to plan for an alignment as soon as possible.

    One thing for you new guys, when lifting the front of your truck, you may want to consider the ECGS bushing replacement for the passenger side needle bearing. Done this on quite a few trucks, but I can't find my removal tool at the moment.

    Since @stronghammer brought it up, I figured I would go ahead and get mine started since I have quite a few plans ahead for my T4R. So here is my very basic/very fresh build thread.

    So its a slow boring day at work today and all I can think about is the Mod meet, getting my 4Runner lifted, and adding more crap to it. My new back up camera should be here this afternoon so I will at least have something to tinker with over the weekend. I also just got this bad boy this week and it is just nasty! I highly recommend anybody in the market for a new headlamp.

    Whats going on with everyone else on this beautiful yet miserably slow Friday?

    I'm spending this miserably slow day in the office. Also super excited about the mod meet. My UCAs should be in Monday 2/29!! Still waiting on some LEDs to come in to change all my interior lights out....You guys are going to have to tell me about some riding places around here. Now that I'm modding my truck I have to know what it can do! I used to go bury my 89 Pickup in the mud by the river at Ditto, but they closed that up...
