    Ah ok coincidence then. I know a buddy Ryan who has a very similar Instagram user name. He's in a group in la habra that go on runs and have truck meets. A buncha 4Runner and Toyota pickup guys with SASed rigs. They have a truck meet at the tommys on Whittier.

    Too down for that Tubbys meet! Taco Tuesday's. Haha

    I'm a new owner but I see a lot of tacos every day in the north Anaheim area. I get the "Do I know you" stare the few times I gave a wave. So I stopped. Haha.

    Feel free to wave if you see me. Can't miss it. Tube bumpers front and rear. It's the truck that looks like it should totally have long travel but doesn't yet. Hahahaha

    I second taco Tuesday. But this coming Week I'll be way too busy. Next month is better for me. Got a desert race my club is hosting this month.

    Guilty as charge for following the thread and hopping to get spotted..haha. Can't miss me with my TW sticker out back ;) But true as lot of tacos, at least in my case that I have come across, are driven by "normal" owners.

    Saw an armored up regular cab white taco this morning in La Habra. Looked like a 4 banger? He was sitting at a light as I passed by so I couldn't snap a photo.

    normal :p

    Gotta love putting a ton of money into a long travel front end with a stock ass... When the real weakness on a stock Tacoma IS the stock rear suspension.

    It's probably not even long travel. I've seen many trucks with glass and turns out they're on spacer lifts.

    :rofl:

    I laugh when I wanna put on glass just cause my tires will stop trying to eat my fender flares...... And I'll do it eventually anyway, why not a little early?! :)

    The rear is horrible and even with additional M/T upgrades.

    Performance = LT Rear & Mid Travel Front

    but for absolute looks! Front LT & Mid Travel Rear


    It's definitely not LT. The wheels are tucked inside the glass.

    Haha one of the first things I ordered and installed was glass when I started my build. Had I known I was gonna loose my job I would've stayed stock with a oem replacement coil or something. But here we are over a year and half later with still no long travel. Just wheel spacers and some billes so it doesn't look full retard with 6 inch flared fronts. Hahahaha.
