HomerTaco's big old bucket o’ bolts build

did you get the get the 17 or 27 quart?

 

It's the 27. My other one was nearly twice the size. Good for a cross-country trip but overkill for a long weekender such as this.

 

Have a great trip and stay safe

they have steering wheel covers

My steering wheel cover was worse than that. I got the Redline Goods cover and paid for their installer to recover it. The installer said the cover didn't fit my wheel, and Redline wanted my wheel so they could check the pattern. Said it should only take 2-3 weeks. 3 1/2 months after shipping my steering wheel to their installer, I finally got my recovered wheel back.

 

thats not very promising then. although they do have both options

 

Yea I was really disappointed, especially when the wheel finally showed up without the thumb grips I asked for when they offered compensation.

I don’t know where the fitment issue was and they list the cover for ‘05-‘15 tacomas and that’s what I ordered, and as far as I know, all of the wheel frames are identical.

One could install it themself, but I don’t have the patience for small needles and thread.

Anyway, it looks decent aside from a few glue spots from sloppy application. I doubt I could have done better...

 

I've done it before many years ago. It does take patience. @loosnut mentioned having a spare one - I may just do it on that. It is a time consuming project.

 

So today was a record breaker for me. Drove from Bristol Tn to Carlisle Pa nonstop.


Truck performed flawlessly and averaged +14MPG fully loaded.

I'll definitely be returning to this place...

 

Here's a few of the pics from the trip:

@G.T. and I ready to roll:


I'll link a few more later from my FB pic dump.

Pretty sure a few of the guys got some crawlbox action vids too.

 

looks like fun, I should have called out of jersey for the weekend to join but I am bad with remembering dates of shit. Side note, did you take a reverse selfie of your burger?

 

You would’ve loved it Ant. I’ve been texting @JLink - this needs to be the next otter trip.

 

@HomerTaco Awesome to have met you brotha! Appreciate you dropping knowledge and being patient with my brother and I. Great times at Fort Kick Ass, looking forward to next time!

 

Favorite pic of the truck from this last trip:

 

@HomerTaco it was awesome meeting you, seeing your rig gave me a few ideas on what I want to get for mine. I'll make sure to get a hold of you when I'm ready for a grill

 

*and here we see the ever elusive @HomerTaco in his natural habitat..........amazing*

 

That track wasn’t even our first choice for the day but it was a heap of fun.

 

Can't wait to get my truck built up so I can tag along with you guys
