Before welding

 

The spots where I'll weld are bare. Once I weld it on in won't be able to spray it because of the bed being in the way. I don't feel like taking off the canopy and the bed. Then I'll just spray the weld and the frame.

 

Have to weld the second top mounting tab in though. I think that's what he means

 

The plate at the top of the bucket? It never came with one

 

Don't know if this list is still being updated but you can throw me on here


Also I saw this 1st Gen pickup. Looks sweet but it was on like 6" blocks. Cali plates

 

More from yesterday..

 

Looks like they're just mistaking the center diff lock?

 

Is this anyone here? Icon stage III, SCS F5's....

They're referencing the center lock.

Typical.

 

There is a forsale thread on here but wasn't a member in this thread I don't think

 

So I drove from Deer Park (north of Spokane) to Boardman, OR tonight. I90 turned into a little bit of a snowy shitshow a little west of Fishtrap, about mile post 250. I was in 2wd going west by the rest stop about MP242 and after passing several people in the underused left lane, I moved back right going about 45-50 mph and got a little squirrelly without trying. 345 CI v8 hemi power is no match for 2wd on wet roads, much less snow/ice. I kicked it into 4hi and ran that to Ritzville, then south on 395. It was about 25 miles north of Pasco that the roads got a little easier with less snow. I went about 50 most of that time and in 4hi, I wasn't slipping. I passed a lot of people, mostly semis, and when I went into the left lane, I didn't feel like I was slipping at all. I felt like I had better grip in the left most of the time, but that is where the deeper snow was.

Pretty sure a Tacoma with less power available would have handled this driving a bit better, but I can't afford everything at once. So far, no complaints about these tires. They are even quieter than the AT tires I had on my taco (hankook dynapro ATM).

 

anyone know what the mounting plate is called for putting your nav and shit by the heating controls

 

@utroda Tech Deck Industries Tech Deck. I have the xtreme duty and mirror riser with dash cam.

 

A friend of mine @AbunaiTaco, just picked up a Tacoma! He came from a jeep, so I consider this an upgrade heh heh. Welcome to the NW WA BS thread heh heh

 

FYI, and no hard feelings intended, but the standard duty will work for just about everything unless you are doing a Marty McFly with era-appropriate technology build and feel like mounting a car phone and a CRT monitor.

Either product is great, but I think there's some savings to be had.

 

Thanks man

 

The reason I had the xtreme was being in SoCal in the desert I didn't want anything messing up.

 

Get the mirror riser as well. night and day difference for visibility.

 

So as it turns out, it wasn't an old FJ that I saw. It is a 1967 Nissan Patrol. Listed at 1800 and it needs a bit of work. Interested still? I got pics on my phone.

 

I am thinking about this because I'm probably adding a backup cam (and maybe a front "rock" cam) where the screen will sit on the middle of the dash. I already have an old Garmin there that I will remove, but I anticipate the new screen might be bigger
