Hank Williams [build] and some of my ex's

3rd Tacoma, first truck in a while.. named him Hank. He's #23 on my resume of vehiculars. He had a mall-rated sticker from the dealer, we've been working slow and steady to get him up the ranks and ready for the dirt. No crazy wheelin planned, but plenty of 4-diggin, camping, all that jazz. My Hyundai got beat up in the desert, corn fields and mountains, so I traded her in for this beast. 2011 DCSB TRD O/R.

Our first date


As of this weekend


We got rid of the Amp running boards and put on a set of Steelcraft 3" nerf bars. Got rid of the 18" chrome wheels and, after much research and two sets of wheel/tire combos, settled on these 285/70/17 with MB TKO's. Put in a decent stereo with DVD, Kenwood 371 sounds great through the JBL system! Also, LED's, debadged, washable air filter, started my zombie/survival kit, HAM radio is being shipped this week, putting on a bull bar this weekend, looking for a good sounding muffler, and thinking about painting the tailgate with chalkboard paint for some fun with art

And, here's Betty. She sits in the garage, needing a little love. Now that it's warm out, I might take her back out for some weekend cruising. Everything I think about selling Betty, she gives me this look and says "Don't let me go, Jack!"



Thanks for watching!

 

What a fun thread. Thanks for all the great photos. Love your new tires and wheels.

I agree with Betty. Don't sell her. She is too beautiful.

 

ain't sure hank done it this way

 

Betty needs that big f'n roof rack. Welcome to TW!

 

Betty is sexy

 

Hank got to visit Moab for his first time!


And, we went camping in San Diego last weekend. 1500 mile round trip made for a long weekend and a LOT of Red Bulls.

 

Hank gets a new hat!

 

Cool thread, mayne!

Diggin' the mods.

 

Hank got a friend.. I think I should name him Williams.

 

Sweet trailer.. what year?

 

1967, I think. Speaking of, I need to take the title in for registration. He's been parked for the winter.

 

Hank got a little brother. Needs a head gasket and paint, and to remove that hideous wing!
