    No, I haven't done shit... I've been so busy with work I cant see straight. I do need to get going on this, my inbox is filling up with hate mail for not having front bumps for the 2nd and 3rd gen yet. :boink:

    PM in-bound...

    UPDATE!!!

    Met up with @DukesTaco today to get the initial measurements I needed for the front bump stops.

    Of all the TW guys that offered help that live close to me, Duke just happened to be in the neighborhood. Crazy considering we live as far away from each other as you can get without leaving Tucson. Duke is a very cool guy, It was good to meet him. I'm looking forward to heading over to his part of town to hit some trails once I have some bump stops to throw on his rig.

    I have my 3D design complete and am running my printer tonight printing out my first prototype for the 2nd and 3rd gen Taco's.

    After looking at Dukes Truck today it looks like the best option for the 2nd & 3rd Gen front bump stops will be a dual durometer rubber.

    Hopefully I will be able to meet up with @Tacodile84 with a prototype in hand to verify fitment this week.

    Same here man glad to meet you and can't wait to put them on. Not going to New Jersey till Sunday and I will be back in that area on Friday around 1 .

    For the rest of you guys the samples of bump stops that Curtis had on hand to show me looked top notch. I especially liked the dual durometer stops . They start out soft and then get hard . (Insert jokes here) . We even discussed doing some rear bump stops . Like I said before can't wait to test these out.

    DPS and highway patrol will stop you as a primary violation and look for secondary also pro valley likes to ticket for tint. I have limo in the rear and 20 up front been stoped a few times but the different shades I think helps . Officer said it’s and easy stop in search for secondary violations. I have also been stoped for the headlights. Was told I can’t have tint on my headlights. I was like wtf they are factory pro headlights....

    I've been driving through both border stations the one near Sierra Vista and tombstone. The taco is at the shop now.. Getting tint that will prevent me from getting lectures and fines.

    So I think I found my new home in the tanque Verde area. It's definitely off the beaten path but I will have pet goats and horses. And my driveway is pretty dope.

    What are the better gyms in Tucson? Looking for decent free weight selection and less cardio machines. I like franchises so I can visit other gyms when I get bored.
