Ok! My second year doing this! First one was tons of fun, here's to another year! As my wife will tell anyone who'll listen, I'm hard to shop for, because anything I want I get, or convince myself I don't want. So I can't give you exact things, because I will have probably bought over half of them by Xmas...so here's some stuff about me, thanks santa!

I love sample/variety packs for stuff, so a new Tacoma of each trim level/color option would be great .

Here's some random stuff about me, and feel free to stalk away .

I love good whiskey/scotch and am always looking hunting for a good bottle.
my wife and I have 2 cats.
I play the mandolin,
do a bit of calligraphy,
I like celtic/bluegrass music.

Truck wise, I'm salivating over the relentless fab steel rear bumper with sonar cut outs and JBA UCAs for the 2" lift.

 

Hopefully someone gets you a dog lol

 

I married into cats, always wanted a dog, never had one *cry*. Maybe one day...

 

MX355 - Wish List

Me: 35 and married and an 11 yrs old black lab.

Random and keeping things fun with the thought of a gift over the cost.

Gifts local to gifters area (beers NON IPA, Local Coffee, coffee mugs, Knick Knacks, hats, shirts - large)
Camping/Outdoors/Mountains (Kelty Low down, backpacks, Flashlights/Knives), Fire Extinguisher
Auto Detailing (raised to keep things clean)
Grilling/cooking (rubs, sauces, tools)
All things 3rd Gen Tacoma related (lighting, recovery, tools, toys)
Guns (Glock 19, AR 15 5.56)

 

Hmm, I always struggle with making it too easy or too hard. I do have a few Amazon lists, and since I'm in Alaska, Amazon is probably the best bet to not have to pay $$$ for shipping. I'll try and adjust that as I may be purchasing stuff on it for the holidays too (I think you can find it via my email). Here's some ideas but don't feel limited to anything below. My kids like kids things too and that makes me happy as well (for the love of all things holy, QUIET toys are best).

I've talked my wife into hunting and she came with me this fall for her first ever hunt, period. She had a blast and is game for coming with me for more hunts.

Could use:

• Already Purchased GMRS/FRS radios for safety stuff (GMRS Midland in the Land Cruiser) (please let my wife know if you go this route, otherwise I may buy some too)
• hunting style shooting tripod, a friend had the Primos Jim Shockey one, that was cool & worked a lot quicker than my camera tripod (family probably going to purchase this one)
• Already have a range finder & binos
• 80% lower compatible with my Easy Jig gen 1 (I made a mistake on my 1st one, although it is still functional) or AR15 parts
• 28-32" light bar to go on front of my cruiser, in front of the Hi-Lift. I was looking at the Nilight brand, but it WILL be crossing creeks and underwater, so if you know of a decent brand with some better waterproofing that would be awesome.
• AR-15 bolt, one of mine cracked a little and would be a better spare
• Pretty good on knives, although I did lose my old trusty Buck Spitfire recently. Been rocking a cheapo for now. I like non-serrated, non-spring assisted, 3-3.4" blade pocket knives.
• rechargeable headlamp or flashlight that is at least water resistant for hunting/truck stuff. I've kinda sworn off replaceable battery ones since the kiddos play with them too much and that gets expensive
• factor 55 hitchlink for the wife's 4Runner?
• factor 55 flatlink or classic nipple one for Land Cruiser, whatever color you think would look good on my Cruiser?
• I'm pretty good on tow ropes and recovery gear other than the above
• Green Egg Grill recipes/BBQ stuff? I love BBQing up some caribou, steaks, or lamb chops. Still figuring out the best BBQ for chicken. Have a grill recipe you love?
• Safety Orange stocking caps for hunting with my wife and kids soon enough
• 4.5" Grinder metal cut off wheels
• Cruiser goodies? my ARB logo came off of my bumper, the TEQ one from witsend maybe?
• Already mounting a fire extinguisher in the Land Cruiser and I have a nice first aid kit from last year's
• Kid's warm sleeping bag? (please let my wife know if you go this route, otherwise I may buy some too)

Not really into:

• booze
• coffee

I am tall freak so unless it is a size 2XL TALL I will look like a cheap dad-bod stripper with my belly button showing
Wife likes to shop for clothes herself mostly, and is rocking her personal trainer workouts.

Kids are 3 (Colton, kids S now) and 18 months (Megan, 5T or kids XS) are both huge for their age. Colton is getting a camo fleece and binoculars as part of his presents from already.

Merry Christmas!

 

you underestimate the power of some folks' stalking abilities

 

Exactly.

I wanted to let it be a challenge... but I can provide her email or phone number if thats too hard for some stalker's abilities.

 

I am married with two dogs. A chiweenie mutt thing and a belgian malinois mutt thing. I like coffee and beer (not ipa's). I play games on my pc and like to tinker with things in my free time. Any time I get to use my tools I am happy. I also like to go shooting on occasion. We recently bought a house. I dont really have any specific wants, so hopefully something above helps.

Also, please feel free to send me something from "home" that we couldnt get or have never heard of in Texas. Thanks for participating and thanks for being cool enough to send things all over the country to strangers!

 

Gonna send ya something that says I heart California or I heart NY On it.

 

. Nice one. Maybe add a Hillary sign to the list

 

I was stationed in california, doesnt hurt my feelings!

 

I like beer, coffee, Coke....Cola, Panasonic Rechargeable batteries. I've never had MRE's, that's worth a try. Knives or other survival stuff, useful or not.
Edit: If you're feeling generous then a gearwrench tap/die set.
