What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

ooo 35s

due for some new ones this year too..

 

lmao just dont eat yourself into a coma while we are working

 

Well hell, if youre offering food I can offer encouragement, and we could rebuild my shocks.

 

Nice. That should get him through the night.

Might need to find another cow for the next day though.

 

its just going to turn to monte working on my truck while i just throw burgers at him and he just inhales them lol

 

Whoa whoa..how fat you think i am?! haha

 

that was the exact image running in my head just now lol

 

That’s encouraging, thanks.
I don’t understand why handles are all 70$+.

Or why nobody’s made metal after market yet...

 

nah i fed it proper it grazed on alfalfa and i fed it grain, corn, apples, carrots pretty much everything that it would eat. it had loads of good fat and the first steak i had of it was amazing

 

I seen a guy on Facebook he other day that said he was gonna make a metal door handle. If he actually does I’ll be surprised. It’d be something I’d buy if I break another one.

 

seems an aluminum handle would be nice but also insanely expensive to extrude. Doubt its worth it.

 

what are you guys doing to your door handles to keep breaking them?

 

I've never broken a door handle but I'm guessing out where it freezes it goes through more stress than it does in a temperate state.

I say this from Sunny California so I really can't speak on the topic, haha.

 

I'd let Monte molest, i mean touch my truck. Just sayin.

 

i havent broken a door handle either and it got down to a ball dropping -25

 

Not fat. But aren't you flipping monster truck tires and doing pull ups with 90lbs plates chained to your legs?

 

I’ve only broke one factory door handle, one after market and then my tailgate the other day.

I think it’s a combination of cold and all the moving parts getting gummed up.

 

just keep them clean and you won't break anything. The linkage and the lock mechanism.

i used to yes..well..still do a bit. Just not nearly as consistent as i used to be. Like now ive been working for over a week straight long days late on a contemporary cello piano duet piece trying to have it all done before next friday for mixing when we will do a full album in a day and a half. Not super easy to go to the gym all the time but i do when i can.

 

whats this gym you speak of? i swing a 20 pound splitting maul 4 hours a day to heat my house i'd love to get a hydraulic wood splitter but the truck comes first and its good exercise lol

 

man i had two wood stoves at my last rental. Was fun to keep the wood in check but also hard for me with my hours. Wood stoves heat you up twice!
