Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

It'll depend on when/how things go. Gotta get stuff for the shop bathroom, and lighting for the whole shop.

 

My stuff is always available when I am. I'd be down for a mod day regardless of having a heated shop or not. The only thing I can't do easily outside of my garage is weld aluminum. But nobody is doing that outside in the winter anyway.

 

Gona turn it into a South African Troop carrier YJ?

 

No sweat.

Been super lazy with truck lately, it might get me off my ass to work on my headunit and tech deck mount. If I hit the hazard button, it stays stuck until I pull the head unit trim out, had a lot of fun fuckin' with that in MOAB...(not really) The headunit also slightly out of place inside the trim, so hoping I can get these dumb wires tucked in properly to make a flush looking fucker.

 

Do you mean the J8? Wasn't that built on the TJU platform?

 

CJ-6/8 platform.

TJU platform wasn't out until 2004

 

Ah, I don't think I've seen those. I've shared my fantasies before about a TJU Rubi in my garage, so that flavors my perspective. EDIT: I know about Jeeps a bit, I just didn't know about the CJ variant. There were a ton of options for them.

Yes please:

 

Yeah, and it'll be better off for this.
Thanks, but I don't think it will be necessary. Planning to rattle can the fresh edges then throw a large plastic flare over it

As much fun as that sounds, I think this is still just a death wheel job. That and my 220 outlets currently don't work. Garage wiring needs some attention.

Could be fun. Might require a frame/tub stretch...

 

Tape up your lines and drive it over to my place. I love throwing sparks.

 

Might be just a slight bit of overkill

That looks like a JK J8

 

Yeah, we never overdo anything around here......

 

It is, but it's so close to a TJU that I don't care. If I could get one with a turbo diesel, I'd probably just live in it.

 

Thinking more like this

Never ever...

 

If by "close" you mean "doesn't even share a single bolt, much less than abysmal power train" then yes lol

 

Exactly. My fascination with the TJU Rubi is purely aesthetic and entirely fanciful. I daydream a lot.

 

I haven't listened to much of Motorhead. I'm more classic rock than heavy metal. Though I do have the movie Heavy Metal. \m/

 

I miss my TJU

 

Jeez, every time I watch a video of Black Bear Pass, my heart starts racing.

I'm so scared, lol. I can't wait.
