Yea, not the cheapest. Really hoping it works as planned.

No problem!

 

Drove to hospital and picked up some new kicks..... Baby girl number 1

 

Congrats!

 

congrats!

 

You people looking for bed boxes should check out your local surplus store. And 45acp and Blackdawg if you guys ever come down to Utah you should swing by Smith & Edwards near Willard, Utah. That's where I got all the boxes I've used in all my trucks. I think I paid around $40 each for mine on the Tacoma. They usually have a pretty good selection of containers to choose from.

I love your truck

I'm hoping to get a bed rack like you and 45acp have. I'd love to be able to switch out a spare tire and ski racks on the rack, and have a hi-lift mount on it.

 

that is the best bed i have ever seen, awesome! Also i love your truck, i want all your mods haha.

Edit: just had a thought, how is rear view with all that bed stuff? looks like your rear view is pretty obstructed.

 

IDtrucks...you just had the 10,000 reply in this thread!!!

With a pic of Boxrockets bed (the best Taco in TW)......quite fitting!!

I hate the drop in liner, I want to get it sprayed some day, just not very high on the priority list right now.

I did pull it out yesterday to take a look at some mounting options and It looks like that liner has been in there since new, the bed is spotless other than the rub marks from the liner.

 

who has KM2 copies?

X2 on the cheaper part.

I am looking at the "wardens" from treadwright (BFG AT copys) and they are $93/tire for 31X10.5. The "name brand" tire from BFG is $190 a tire...and I have to pay shipping for either tire I get

 

yeah mine had 10 years worth of leaves, random garbage people have put in the tie down holes, and sand under it.

 

Just picked up my new wheels! Rock Crawlers 52's!

 

Got this "can" from a local surplus shop. It was a military cooler but i gutted it out for some good storage. picked it up for 18 bucks.

 

I plan on building a few of these racks pretty soon. I've got requests in from a few different people interested in them before spring time. Now that my new welder is here I might try to whip out a batch of these if there is enough interest.

rear view with this setup actually isn't bad. When on the highway I can check my blindspots just fine and with the two boxes I have a pretty clear view straight out the back. I'm sure some visibility is compromised but it hasn't been a problem.

 

I'd be another person to add to the list of those interested! Your bed rack is the best I have seen on 1st gens!
Not to mention the fact that I cannot weld nor do I have a welder lol

 

Well i did a few things
1. I did the fog light mod

2. I changed my oil
3. I changed the gear oil in the rear axle
4. I installed my weather band CB
5. I greased the drive shafts
It was a busy a slow day on the farm so i got payed to work on my own truck

 

Well the quest to trade my tires for a locker axle didn't bode well...The wrecked tacoma wasn't his, but i did make a new friend and learn whos it was so im off to try and convince him to give it to me for my old KM2s

Also my new found friend is currently making his own plate bumper, which has driving lights mounted in it as well as fogs and blinkers. I think it'll turn out pretty well. AND he might have the best cheap driving light i have ever seen Ill have to update you all on how that turns out...

 

You do have a great setup m8

Inspired me to design my own I can't wait to build it
