I'm still trying to find the right name. A few I've kicked around are: Hector, Harold, Carlos... Not sure why I gravitate towards the spanish names. I guess I think they're unique. I definitely want a boy's name this time.

Hm... Carlos sounds nice... Carlos it is.

You should try the naming conventions like they use with tropical storms. Start with a name in the A's and then work through the alphabet. You did Abner and Clara, so you should try a B or a D. Maybe Dexter.

I absolutely love the shrockworks front bumpers, but I was on allpro's website and their apex bumper really caught my eye. The price is right too. I may end up going that route and have some cash leftover for a winch.

Wow. That is a sexy bumper and very affordable compared to others of the same style. When I get another 4 door I will be getting one of these. Hopefully sooner than later. My Tundra is for sale. :(:)

Yes I implied that. As soon as it sells I will buy one unless I find an amazing deal before then. If I do I will swap over my tires, wheels, and stereo stuff. I know it won't tow as well but lately I haven't towed a lot. I just park my trailer on the job. If I do need to tow I will just use my wife's Touareg. It is rated to tow more than my tundra anyways. And it brakes better.

sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into selling the tundra. Have you already made up your mind? When was the last time you went wheeling?

Last time I went wheeling was in my Tacoma. Last time I attempted wheeling was in my tundra but it hangs too low and is too long and can't turn in tight spots. I made it halfway up constrictor in my Tacoma and parked it to prevent damage and rode shotgun with someone else. When I had my LJ or other jeeps I went wheeling 2-3 times a month.

I always wanted a dc but when my Chevy sold there were none available that I wanted and I knew I liked tundras. I needed a vehicle ASAP so I bought it. It was kind of a hold me over vehicle in a way. I loved everything about my xc and miss it!

Sold my dc only because the towing and because I was an idiot. I saw a chance to make some money and I took it and regret it.

We are selling her touareg but we will replace it with a diesel touareg which will tow even more. And get better mpg.
