Same here
However this is my innagural issue.
And let me say when I removed the shipping envelope. "BAM" I was struck by the quality. Heavy paper stock and high gloss. Wow!

I am sure I will read this issue a couple of times.

Thank You

There's one more.

Tony really deserves a great big thanks for this. Lots and lots and lots of work on his part. You're the bomb, Tony.

Don't feel so bad Woody. I haven't gotten my subscription copy yet either!

The only reason I have a copy is because as an associate member, American Web sends me a small box of issues to help drum up membership. Those came in FedEx on Friday!

And I thought I would NEVER have anything good to say about FedEx!

Wow, I had mine Saturday and wasn't even in town to enjoy it. Got home Sunday evening and was a little disappointed I wasn't home to get it Saturday..... especailly since I was mentioned in it in Chef's article and my user ID was in Woody's ad. Wow, guess I need a life, huh :hillbilly

At the risk of banishment ..... Any luck today Woody????

Mine was in the mailbox yesterday, so I flipped through the pages before going to bed. Brought it to work with me today and have been enjoying The History of TLCA. Pictures are terrific, but the read'in is outstanding! Already had several people come up and ask where I got the magazine at. I tell them, TLCA.

Someone care to explain how that Tacoma not only passed tech inspection with a drag link like a noodle and brake lines held in with a bungee cord, but also ended up in such a great magazine with the caption "it doesn't get much better than this"?

IMO, there is absolutely nothing wrong with holding lines away from a tire with a bungee cord.. When you have 14" (or more) travel shocks and your lines come out on the frame rail, that's alot of slack.

Of course, I haven't gotten my copy yet, so I'm not 100% sure what you're seeing..

From the way the picture looks, the stock brake lines were just extended straight down to the wheels during the SAS, with a bungee cord between the two of them.

I'm less concerned about the brakes than the steering. It looks like it's mid-failure. But combine the two and it could be extremely bad.

Thanks for basing your assumption on one picture.
If you're genuinely concerned about it, then by all means, come down here a fix it for me.
I just got it back on the ground for this run, and yes there are many bugs to work out still. I'll be going full hydro soon. Maybe I'll send you the draglink as a souvenir.

BTW, it passed tech insp at roundup too.
