trekker's taco and Melly's 4R

I’m thinking noonish - depends on how quickly we can get out of the house.

 

Clearly @trekker is more pessimistic than me (he would likely say “realistic”)

 

Sounds good. I plan on doing some basic maintenance wedn before packing on thursday. That way I'm ready to leave and just have to get the pup in the truck whenever I am able on friday.

 

You can go through the build list and get an idea if you'd like. I've sprung for some pricy shit, but most of it was group buys or discounts.

I wasn't going to put an answer together but I started thinking about it and thought I'd share. I'm sure most of y'all can relate to some of this in one form or another.

Personally, I look at this truck as a hobby that I've grown into over the years. It all started when I went through some hard times in the past, and wrenching on this truck put me in good spirits with good people. I can't count the number of nights I've spent sleeping in the truck or using my gear to keep clean whether camping, hunting, road tripping... sure it's costed me thousands of dollars, but hotels damn sure aren't cheap and I can drive to the top of a fucking mountain if I want to. Not to mention... I've done every bit of work to my truck save for alignments, so the labor has only cost me several dozen cases of beer

This isn't my most expensive hobby, but it keeps me busy and in the company of some of the best people I know. In the end that's worth more than any amount of cash I could spend. *sappiness alert* Hell, I wouldn't have met @MellyMel if I wasn't at Jambo last year with my tacoma.

Frank, your guess is a bit high... but I've probably spent that much on gas

 

I have been keeping track of most of my maintenance on my truck using fuelly.com and I just added some of the bigger receipts and I've spent about 120% of the purchase price on mods, but as you said I've had a great time along the way.

 

I don't doubt it was money well spent, but this is one of the first mod build lists I've seen in its entirety and it got me wondering what I was getting myself into. Haha Hawaii trucks don't need/can't really use the same type of equipment as you guys, but it'll be interesting to see where my truck is in 5 years.

 

Im shopping at the wrong places, i have a bit into mine, its not even 4x4 or as nice as yours by any means. My guess was comparing yours to mine and knowing what i have into mine. My heart hurts.

 

Damn I didn't consider maintenance items and shit that I've broken... or tires... I was only thinking of mods. Still worth it to me and I wouldn't change a thing.

 

Different mods man. I'm also bad at math, so you never know

 

Thats true, i have into my audio what some have into their suspension.

 

I mean, my shit feel over and it's still more cooler than @ETXTacoma's 2WD Dynatrac'd, Geared, and Locked truck

 

How are the new door subs?

 

They hit pretty good but the door isnt quite fully sealed, they have a lot of potential in the right enclosure. They still add to the sound stage however, they hit impressively low.

Rude. But understandable.

It is ordered though, so there is that.

 

I am not prepared for Monday #2.

@hoarder23 you arent going on base are you? I need another bottle of Macallan 12.

 

Today sucks more than yesterday.

I need coffee so I can be at my desk like



Gotta draft a bunch of shit today
