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

Broke down and bought a CB install for a trip coming up when I get home in another week. Also vowed to not start another project or buy anything else for another project until my current projects are finalized and parts that have been sitting on the shelf are installed.

 

My buddy wants me to convert from CB to GMRS. I’m thinking I’d like to get HAM instead.

 

I’d like to get HAM instead as well. My only reasoning for getting CB is that it’s more common in my area and will be helpful coordinating with log trucks and such on narrow forrest service roads. I am studying for my HAM test right now though. One day, maybe I’ll have both in my rig, but I doubt it.

 

I’m actually in Idaho right now, twin falls! Heading toward Jackson WY now.

 

I added this sticker to my Truck a real throwback.

Nice! If you plan on hoteling around Jackson, over the pass in Driggs Idaho is way cheaper. Dubois wyoming is also way cheaper. I’ve always wanted to go camping down in that area. Always been down there for work for a night or two.

 

Good advice, hotels in Jackson are ridiculous. Plan is to backpack in grand Tetons and then in yellow stone, but a hotel in between will be nice.

 

Stay safe. Snowing on Monday.

 

Thanks! Yeah I seen that, might catch us on the hike out Monday. But I’m thinking a hotel Monday night to stay out of the snow.

 

Holes anyone? Get yer frame handled!

 

I see @Dan8906 got smart and ran from the heat.

 

117° here tomorrow. Send help

 

Fuuuuck that... I would run out of town. Or hunker down in the house with the A/C on.

117° aint no joke.

 

Yeah that's the plan lol. Staying indoors with the central air. Just hope those rolling electricity blackouts don't effect us.

Really looking forward to Fall and winter wheeling. Gonna daydream about it all weekend. Hopefully this is the last big heatwave of summer for us.

 

I hear that

 

It 100 here right now. High of 102 today. Snow on Monday.

Thats just the Rocky Mountains for you

 

It’s awesome

 

Way too much heavy thinking
I like the diving board analysis. I like to use similar analogies when describing how to install swing gate openers to people who know nothing about geometry, levers and mechanical advantages.

 

Ok wrapping is getting near the end. It is way too hot to be wrapping in the garage today but I felt pressed to get another portion done today. Proof is in the pudding. The wrap was way way to supple in the heat. Maybe 100 degrees in the garage by the time I got to the end. Sweating and too much stretch have killed the adhesive on the vinyl.
I neglected to clean one spot and got dirt on it. And I should have removed the bed. All that being said; am I happy? Meh, OT is my own fault. Does it looks bad? Maybe in a professional standpoint. Is it better than before, definitely!!
my goal is to have it look better than sunburnt clear-coat and it does. Way better. If I have leftover I will probably redo this side, without a doubt. Maybe do the other panel driver side this evening when the temp gets to 80ish.
