frame reinforcement plating

Really, they can’t use Salt up there? Interesting.

 

What’s your plans for this frame?

 

If they salt the roads inside the basin it will wash the salt into the lake. Tahoe is heavily protected we have 80 plus feet of clarity rite now.

Going under the green truck

 

No, salt is highly corrosive (ahem toyota frames, ahem), and there are plenty of studies that show the salt poisons nearby aquatic ecosystems.

The Tahoe basin is an especially sensitive area.

 

I heard they use gravel in some areas.

 

usually sand

 

It's a sand gravel mix and gets cleaned up every spring.

 

They use cinders in Arizona.

 

Hence all the busted winsheilds.

Thank God for 0 Deductable glass.

 

@Tour991 anything ever happen to that frame I gave you?

 

I cut it down and put it under my 97, But because it is a v6 frame I have some issues with motor mounts and trans mounts so I am building a new frame.

 

Ah bummer.

 

I thought you were putting a v6 in it?

 

I was thinking about it but not cost affective

 

Finished plaiting the front and center today.

 

Don’t you have a v6 and all the wiring you need already?

 

I'm sure with all the tacomas he has been parting out he has a bunch of different trucks that can be pieced together to make a new truck

 

Thats the plan for next spring/summer. Im looking for is a dirt cheep truck that I can fix next summer and see what I can sell it for.

 

Oh I know. I’ve been to his compound before. You haven’t seen a parts stash until you’ve seen his crawl space. It’s impressive.

 

That's funny how you call my house a compound.
