    He brought a floor jack to lift the front so I could take a wheel off and inspect the damage :cookiemonster:

    Was driving down a wash as caboose, driving into the sun and dust. Quite literally glanced down at my maps to check where we were in relation to camp and BOOM. Just like that. Found a half buried boulder with my passenger side LCA at about 20.

    Now that looks like one of @Sunnier baby heads

    Sorry about the truck Mike. I don’t think any LCA guard/protection would have saved you from that

    Baby giant heads perhaps lol

    Probably not. I think it grabbed too much LCA to have skipped over it with armor there.

    I know right?

    Ohhh I thought Lance was the one that busted the LCA because 07/21 sounded like a production date :anonymous:

    Well, glad you're ok... definitely was quite the hit. From that angle looks like the LCA is the least of your problems there...

    Anyone have a powder coating/toaster over setup around the SD area? Looking to redo a new-to-me shifter.

    I have beer/whiskey and some great dad jokes as compensation! Happy to do the work myself

    Looking to sell some empty 20 lb CO2 tanks and a dolly. The tanks work great for airing up tires quickly and you can DIY your own Powertank setup with these. Looking to get $50 each for the tanks, or $80 for one with the dolly. Pickup only in Escondido.

    I've always exchanged empty tanks for full ones instead of having the same ones refilled, so can't say for sure. Exchanged these within the last three years.

    Hey all. Unsure the best place to post this, but I just bought my 06 tundra and it came with a bed tool box I don't need. Unfortunately, it doesn't lock, and I don't have the key anyway.
    Anyone is San Diego area want it? I'll let it go for free, just come pick it up. Maybe bring a case of beer :D

    Don’t worry about it, bud. Nobody’s gunna flag ya for trying to give something away for free or a case of beer. Very generous offer and I’d probably take you up on it if I didn’t already have one.

    Also, welcome to the forum, Josh! As Sid said, maybe head over and check out the 1st gen section. The SoCal 1st geners are a very fun (slightly untamed) bunch! :rofl:
