    Yepper! I want in. Don't have a show truck but I think it would be cool to meet some of the members, check out the scenery. Thinking about going the night before, or early in the morning?
    In Cary btw, and ywah, it's 5 hours. One could watch TV for 5 hours.
    Just start saving your pennies for gas now though. Hey we could all fill up and have a competition on who is gonna run out first on the way back ;)

    Maybe she would like a visit.

    Mine squeaked front shock was squeaking at one point. It was coming from where the "bolt" goes up through the shock tower below the top nut between the bushings, rubbing on the side of the hole. Shoot some oil on them one at a time and see if it goes away, it'll come back when the oil wears off.

    I just sprayed literally everything down there with WD-40 then some lubricant the use at power plants. I'm just going to take it to the dealer probably. Purchased the warranty which if anything goes wrong, it's a $100fix

    K, so the Charlotte tacos get together & maybe we can meet up the road.

    Raleigh tacos are gonna come up 40 right? What about the Harrison exit? We have gas to top off & Mcd, Chix & BGK there for morning Coffees. Not married to the idea.

    Also, blacked out tacos is so in, you may want flags or something to set ours off. NC Tacomaworld?

    Lastly, anyone know where one can get a Tacomaworld T? Do they exist?

    So the Charlotte Tacoma's want to ride up with the raleigh Tacoma's? Sounds like a good plan. Yes we can come up 40 and hit 147 and 85 then 501 it's showing about 3 hours for this way on my iPhone maps. Is this the way you are wanting to go?Anyone have a better idea or route to get there?lets get a plan together so we know what we're doing. Leaving early that morning or the day before?
