The Lair

Since it’s a tube, I just cut out a hole on the front and back of the tube. Welded it on each side. Then I added a 1/4” plate laterally and welded that all around just because I realllly don’t want this thing moving. It’s ugly but it’ll hold. Probably.

For the front you pass it through on the corner, so that way you can weld it on the front side, and all around the perimeter on the inside.

 

You sure about that? If you ever saw the video I saw, you might think twice. Dudes cab was bisected.

 

Oooooo! A convertible Tacoma. Way better than a bob.

 

Down the middle, vertically. I think it caught his ear too IIRC.

 

A long time ago, I drove a tow truck. I watched a guy loading a roll back and the winch cable snapped and nearly cut him in half. It was not a good day.

 

A-HEM?! I kinda remember someone offering just that.

 

You said, and i qoute "If you call me before you get stuck I will keep it from happening". Didnt say anything about once i am stuck.

 

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Mom.

 

Exactly.

 

Yeah i really need that RESCUE, SAVE kinda help

 

based on the pic you showed me of one of your "adventures" you need an exorcism!

 

randy, do you know how many of each clip are needed to install fender flares?

Nope, I’m not sure

 

You know what i realized? The more you keep messing with betty white the more she becomes a 5 lug. Smaller, no fender flares....

 

Yeah pretty much

Bought a Y spare tire strap this morning. I'm going to copy @singletrack_ftw set up, though rather than use a jackstand/jack combo I'm just going to use a jack stand. After shopping around I found this company which makes their product in the good ol USA. The 'rona has me buying American now when I can. I know this isn't the most space efficient way to carry the spare, but it'll allow me to see out the back window, and dammit it looks cool.
