    Bought some tires from one of the guys on there and he added me. Seem like a good family oriented group that is pretty active. Looking to make one of their runs real soon now that my trucks up and running agian. Wouldnt mind meeting some of you guys. If any of you guys wanted, theres a weekly car show every friday night on the corner of craig and rancho at the dairy queen. I normally go up and walk around and may be a good spot for us to get together.

    Sometime in July, probably towards the end of the month.

    I'm always down for meeting up. She's probably going to stay the way she is for quite a while. But I'm happy with what it can do for now haha

    Sounds good. Don't worry, I can't wait for the heat and practically non-existent Winters!
    Nice, I've been here for about 3 and a half years now and am ready for some change!

    I was in Las Vegas for a couple months for work back in December 2014-January 2015 and didn't want to leave. Literally the only downside to it is my commute is a minimum of 30 minutes.

    Any reason why you wouldn't try us out? We have meets every other week and are actually a group of some pretty decent dudes, despite what you may have heard.

    Not saying I wouldn't try you guys out. Always wanted to go to a meet to see everyone but normally they're across town from me. The last one that was close to me was one of the few weekends I was out of town. I'll make one one of these days.

    Welcome! Most AF people live on the N-NW side of the valley for ease of access to either Creech or Nellis, with decent housing, some restaurants and not too bad crime. There are other nicer areas but they are a hike from base.

    Eating, camping, and wheeling are unlimited, so you really just have to decide what your flavor is that day. Vegas is also a good central point to hit Northern AZ, Grand Canyon, Zion, Southern Utah, SoCal, etc., depending on your adventure. If you can handle the heat you'll love it here.

    Oh and the drivers are all crazy. I think highest insurance rates in the nation here.

    Hey guys I posted up this thread looking for some help in Vegas this upcoming weekend. If any of you guys have any kind of connection or hook up for Night clubs or pool parties maybe you could message me. I'm getting in Thursday afternoon and well it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm going with my gf and we like to party, and I know it's expensive no matter what you do. ;) Thanks for any help!

    I just started a thread saying Im thinking of starting a group, Las vegas Tacomas. I didnt know anything about Battle born tacomas or they even existed. Im not into hard core off roading. More into going to car/truck shows. Finding good food. Doing bbq's. Ive also got a 20.5 Carrera Elite jet boat and go to parker az pretty often in the summer that could be part of the group? Lemme know what everyone thinks?

    2nd gens are better, change my mind.
    I won't be able to, I am working. But if it comes down to it you can walk man. It's probably a mile walk after everything, MGM is located right there at Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd, it's one of the first ones you'll see. Nice build by the way.
