    Any good machinists here with cnc and manual lathe and mill experience want a job in rosemount? It could pay pretty well for the right person.

    I work in the industry and its tough to find good people right now. There are more jobs available than skilled people to fill them. Good luck!

    Yes, yes it is. We are investing half a million in new equipment, but we don't have any good machinists on board to properly run them.

    I bought myself a house in Farmington today! Now I can get my truck up here so I can prepare for wheeling this year.

    Hey guys. Would like to introduce you to a wheeling group that recently got set up. It's called Minnesota Trail Kings. Hear is the facebook page . Lots of talk about wheeling locations and trucks in general. Stickers are currently being printed. Same with shirts. After enough members there will be a forum made. Also a community youtube channel. Go check it out guys and gals and if you like the page leave a comment somewhere saying your from good old tacoma world. Thanks

    You guys should check out Apple Valley Farms off-road park! Lots of different stuff depending what you're into. And Gilbert is always awesome. Haven't been back home in a while, but those places never disappointed.

    Cool! I am in Rochester and occasionally drive to what was formally known as ISJ but now has those blue signs in front... While I can take a "Foundation" vehicle in the winter I usually drive the Taco because HWY 14 suxs and is listed as the most dangerous highway in Mn, let alone in a car. Nice to see someone that isn't from the cities (no offense to those that are). I am not from the area originally but been here ~15 years, my youngest son passed his drivers test at the North Mankato DMV. Many of those that I work with talk about Mankato and when they were there in college, I have heard a lot of stories from both men and women that went there LOL. When I go to the North Shore grouse hunting or up to see a friend in Silver Bay I will usually drive over to Wisconsin and go North to avoid the cities and traffic. To get to the State Trapshoot at Alex or Calf and Steer Shoot at St. Cloud no choice however and just suck it up. Just saying.... And welcome to TW!

    Hwy 14 between Rochester and Mankato is much better now. Still two lane between Dodge Center and Owatonna. But Owatonna to Mankato is now four lanes and pretty decent, and that was the worst part of Hwy 14 between Roch and 'Kato back in the '80s and '90s. I just drove there a couple weekends ago. I do hope they extended the Hwy 14 project west of Mankato, that was even worse than the Owatonna to Mankato segment back in the '80s/'90s.

    Heartland tire and auto is my shop of choice. I used to go to one in Iowa and the guy went to school specifically for off road modded vehicles. Did a great job every time. Heartland auto requires the techs to be ASE certified and know what they are doing.

    No I haven't, so I can't recommend a certain one. I've only lived here for a couple of months. I don't think you will have a problem anywhere you take it. There are so many lifted trucks on the road it's ridiculous.
