Boomtacoma's other build.... Little Red 85

Cleaned up my tube doors and put them on. They were pretty beat up and filthy from the last time I had them out wheeling.



and yes that is my wheelbarrow under the truck.



I also got my Corbeau Baja SS seats ordered and on the way. No more stock shitty seating.

My new horns from TWF installed as well

 

Nice.

 

Just waiting on my Skys Off Road TC crossmember, another 4x Inno HD TC mount and my Corbeaus and the sparks will start flying.

 

I feel like there are very few people on this site who know/care about the level of greatness in this truck?

Sad.

Carry on.

 

Nice what's your plans for the stock seats? I know a guy who would be interested


I'm looking to install my duals here in a few weeks. Can't wait.

 

This truck is an ever evolving pot of ridiculousness that is an ice cream sandwich of awesome.

 

Thanks again man. I think you are more of a fan of my red truck than I am

I know a guy who might be looking to get rid of his seats. Ill PM you when I get the Corbeaus in.

Thanks. I wish my wife saw this truck in that light. She is not the red trucks biggest fan.

 

I did clean up that rats nest of wiring next to the TWF horns. I will have to move my steering cooler towards the driver side a little more to make my new black grill fit. I kinda overlooked that when I installed the cooler.

 

Hey now? J/k there are few but I'm one who cares and understands about the greatness of the 2nd gens. Chris you know what I mean. Marlin site and all that.
I do feel bad cause I had to no- op my 85 for the last 2 years now, I still drive it around my parents place where it's at on 12 acres but its just not the same as driving it on the road.
For me now its just not a family rig anymore i hate to say it. I think about selling it sometimes but I feel I would be kicking myself in the ass down the road if I did. I could use the money also.
Progress on your truck looks good dude! Keep it coming!

Thank,

Brett

 

Like Brett mentioned, kicking myself for having to sell my 84 sr5. Your truck is going down the same street mine was heading when I sold it.

 

My Corbeau Baja SS seats and 2nd 4xInno TC mount showed up at my office today. Too bad I'm 200 miles away in San Antonio. I just need my Sky's Offroad crossmember to show up now.

 

Picked up a 4xInno cage for an ext cab today. DOM, brand new never installed. Should have it by the end of next week. Still waiting on my crossmember.

 

Nice

 

The cage was delivered to the shop that is going to install it for me.
WWW.bravemotorsports.com

Going to drop the red truck off by the end of the week.

 

Time to burn metal.

 

Any more progress dude? Maybe your on the marlin site.

Brett

 

None yet. I stripped out the interior in preparation for the cage. I wont be able to take the truck to shop until Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm still waiting on my TC crossmember. In kinda of a holding pattern as of right now.

 

Sweet. I need a 4xinno cage and tube doors too.

 

Sky's X-member showed up. That is one heavy SOB. I have no excuse for looking at those duals on my shelf anymore. Going to borrow an engine hoist for the install. Picking it up tomorrow.

 

Started making a little room on the trans tunnel last night.



Removed the front driveshaft

Removed the TC shifter and block off plate.

I painted both TC mounts.

I'm going to drain the oil out of the TC tonight.

If I feel up to it, I might pull the TC.
