    Have a similar issue but need to get back to SD. I could just grab a hotel room but didn't really want to spend the entire weekend at the show. Was thinking Saturday afternoon -> Sunday when we can roll out.

    I'm down to do something Saturday evening. Not sure what the logistics plan looks like yet, my girlfriend is likely going to drive up earlier in the day so I may have another ride.

    Black Truck; 2011 Tacoma PreRunner Build

    For the rear of the truck, I decided to go with the JD Fabrication SUA kit with their frame brace & shock mounts. The kit allows you to gain the performance of SUA without loosing nearly any bed space. They also eliminate the inverted shack and the massive boat anchors associated with the...

    Black Truck; 2011 Tacoma PreRunner Build

    Time to update the build thread!!! Lots of progress has been made but not a lot of updates on the forum. For my wheel & tire combo I chose to go with the Toyo Tires Open Country AT III in 285/75/17. This unique tire size allowed me to fit the largest possible tire without having to...

    Thinking of heading up to the Expo for Saturday. Will definitely swing by and check out some rigs! The truck is still with McNeil having the fiberglass re-worked. Should have it back very soon but we'll see!

    I'd be down to put the Taco in the booth if it's worthy as well. Build thread needs work but I'm working on that. ha Also, let me know if there's any cost involved.

    Black Truck; 2011 Tacoma PreRunner Build

    Hey everyone! it's been a minute since I've been on the forum but I have updates! Got the truck back together and a shakedown complete. Did a quick day trip to Superstition and had a blast. Need to make some valving changes to the shocks but overall I was stoked with the progress...

    Jawbone to Monachee May1-4

    Damn, didn't see this until just now. Sounds like a fun trip. I just got the Tacoma back on the road but it's 2wd anyway.

    I agree with you but I feel that the valance is easier to trim than setting a tube perfectly in location to match the body lines. More forgiving if you will.

    What a Trip BLGT Cinder Hills Takeover. Labor Day weekend 2023

    I'm just sayin... sounds like excuses. Give the people what they want no matter if it's life or death! Bummed we missed this event but had a great time trying not to be washed off the face of the planet by the flash floods outside of Vegas.
