    I was definitely lucky to land those jobs. Allowed me to be a ski bum most of the winter.

    I absolutely love Lake Tahoe! Used to stay in Incline Village a lot when I was a wee lad. Wish it wasn't so damn far. Been looking at moving to the Nevada side in a few years.

    I wish it wasn’t so damn expensive! Locals can barely afford to live there anymore. More and more are living in Reno and commuting.

    Anyone with a 2014 - 2017 been thinking about upgrading their halogen fogs to the OEM LEDs?

    I might know a guy that is getting ready to pull the LED fog lights off his 2018 and will sell them cheap to the local crew.

    Are you planning to wheel this truck of yours? We’re heading up to Hollister on Saturday if you want to roll with us.

    Definitely going to get her dirty but taking the kids and a couple of their friends up to Apple Hill this Saturday. Appreciate the offer though. Honestly, wife is in Sicily for work until beginning of the year, probably no outings until she gets back or she will kill me.

    A few pairs have sold here for $175 - $200. Dont expect you guys to pay that, just make an offer.

    For me it was 5 bolts holding the wheel well liner. 1 screw holding foglight. Unplug foglight, swap and reverse removal process. 30 minutes to do it again. I can give you a hand if you want them.

    I love the bumper and glass! Is it just me or does it appear to have a drop bracket lift?

    For those of you lugging around a Hi Lift, how do you have it mounted? Tacomas have a ton of options but I could only find the All Pro and Rago Fab for the Tundra. Hard for me to tell in pics if either works with the contours of the Tundra bed.

    Currently, Im thinking either on the bed floor up against the cab or making a steel doohickey to attach it to a bed rail. Leaning towards bed floor as it will be a cheap, easy install and relatively secure. I keep having thoughts that a dangling Hi Lift is going to rip a bed rail off.

    Thoughts? Pics?
