    my truck has 313,000 hard miles on it...

    working in the desert and on pavement...

    Seems like the ones who try to beat down on engage have spacer lifts 90% of the time.

    My kit works just fine, never have had an issue with it. One thing I will say is the fit and finish is sub par on some pieces ive seen

    Our team is comprised of Tacoma guys from the forums. It's not a bunch of outsiders out to take anyone's money. We have always been loyal to the folks here and anyone who breaks down in the desert, so to be bitch slapped ain't exactly cool. Some of the very people who we bailed out will crack the jokes but everyone thinks it's cool and funny.

    I take it personal because it essentially shits on me, so yah, it's a personal attack.

    no i get it. Im just admitting to getting a kick out of it. haha

    Btw, did you happen to see a flipped taco around your house yesterday?
    Im from La Crescenta and my friend lives in the Chevy Chase country club so ive seen your car at your pad and ive seen you on the neighborhood FaceBook so i know your around there. My friend told me he saw a "flipped white taco with bumpers" on the canyon.

    You know anything about it?

    if you cruise by and my garage is open, stop by and look for me... is your friend Artin with the black built Ranger on Emerald Isle? he cruises by once in a while...

    i saw the pic from one of the canyon neighbors and i thought it was BobberBill here on TW... he lives up here in the canyon too...

    I have no idea whose truck that is, but it looked built... they must have jerked the wheel on the turns to flop over like that...

    i don't recall seeing a built 2nd gen up here before... maybe they were visiting someone or just passing through? kinda strange that it happened going uphill though... i would think something like that should have happened downhill...

    It looked like it just flopped over on one side. Not a rollover

    I saw a similar truck yesterday. Kinda weird to see a DC lowered. I've seen plenty of AC and RC lowered but not a DC on a daily basis. Weird but different strokes for different folks :notsure:
