Wow thats a nice tacoma. I really like that bumper and good choice on the winch. Ive got the same one and it works great. We should go wheeling sometime. How far out in the valley do you live? You going to pismo this weekend?

BMC, Carmel representing! I live near the village. Sure, I'd like to go wheeling sometime. Especially Chew's when the snow hits. 
Is there something big happening at Pismo this weekend? I wasn't planning on going.. 
Edit I found it here: http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.ph...6&topic=4811.0 Looks like a fun party! Did you go last year?
How has the winch worked out for you? Any problems? Mine was $280 shipped from winch depot. I couldn't pass it up. Now they make a 10,000 lb one.

No i didnt go last year. Yeah it looks like its going to be a lot of fun this weekend. Im going to be heading out real early on sat morning. If you dont have anything going on you should head down there. Its always funner rolling with other yotas down the highway.

The winch has worked great. Its been on for about 4 months now and i have already used it twice. It did exactly what its suppose to do. My only complaint is that its already getting rusty. I guess if it gets too bad i will take it out and give it a good paint job. Im probably going to replace the allen head bolt with some stainless steel ones. They look pretty bad.
Yeah if ever go wheeling shot me a pm. Do you ever go out to hollister?

There is a Carmel Valley down here too, I was wondering why I hadn't seen your rig yet. 
I've always liked those bumpers. Good quality.

my bro and I will try for Saturday! Have fun. I'll look for your truck if I go...
Have you been to the real CV before? Thanks for the compliment on the bumper. It is rough on the inside especially after my friend had to lower it 2" on the frame mounts (it was made for a 2" body lift.).. lol

Thanks! Synthetic line works great! It doesn't rust or splinter like the cable nor does it weigh as much. The synthetic line can fray if you scrape it against anything. I am having a hard time with the allen screw that holds the line to the winch. When I reel it in I need to make sure the line doesn't brush against it.

Here are some more current pictures:
You should look around for a cheap Tacoma and mod the piss out of it.
Something like this: http://sacramento.craigslist.org/ctd/1167785244.html
Keep your runner for a daily driver. I had a 96 runner. Loved it!
