    My front yard swallowed my lawn mower....I think my dogs are even sinking into my back yard, gotta keep a leash on them so I can fish them back out of the quicksand like ground. I like the rain but fuuuuuuuck, and people around here can't drive to begin with, the rain just makes it worse.

    Passed a guy mowing with a commercial mower along Gunn Highway this afternoon. He was mowing green grass but discharging a brown slurry. First time I’ve ever seen a lawnmower leave a wake

    It certainly made working on the OGT pretty freakin' miserable, but at least it brought the temps down a little. It should make Citrus interesting though.

    Hey'O :wave: just wondering if any of you have any recommendations on a window tint shop in the Tampa area. I'm trying to get my mom's windows tinted, but not familiar with the area all too well. Any suggestions are appreciated!

    I always recommend Audio Itch in Tampa. It's off Dale Mabry Highway just south of Bay to Bay. They recently moved shop so their website is off but I think google maps has it in the right spot. I've had 4-6 vehicles tinted there so far and they have always been great!

    Looking for a Mobtown Offroad transmission and transfer case skid plate for exhaust reroute. I would ideally like to buy. But if not for sale I would like to borrow. I am going to windrock park at the end of the month to attend ATR and want to be protected. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Either that or plastic surgery, usually it's one of those two.

    "Be beautiful, let us sculpt your ass to perfection."

    I see them up and down Dale Mabry often, but yes, definitely more near the beaches.

    A little late but I took my wife's care to Divine Sounds (http://www.divinesounds.com/services) about 9 years ago for window tint. It has held great.

    Any Mods? One. Maybe two, tops...
    Is there any interest for a local meet?

    Always, even if I do shame it with my stock beauty.

    Also, check out the Tampabay Tacomas FB page (if you're into social media like that) for more local meets. They're still part of TW, they just made a local group to organize local-ish meets.

    Well, maybe that’s my issue - you see, after many years of heavy family drama, I don’t do FB no more.

    So I was hoping that local meets would be advertised here on TW.

    I by no means want to drag anyone to another media, especially if they're not keen on that platform. Just saying, usually more common to see casual meets pop up there. TW posts some also for sure though. I've only been to a few so far, mostly just casual group get together, grab some food or drinks, chit chat bout the trucks, etc.

    Not offroad related or anything but quite a few of them tend to flaunt the Tacoma name at the Quaker State Lube or w/e in Clearwater on Mondays at 7pm. It'd be nice to see more posted here but I don't blame anyone because just means we have to try to get some meet going ourselves, so let's do it folks! =)
