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

One suggestion that’s not too far into Mississippi if you’re coming from the Memphis, TN area. Clarksdale, MS is an interesting little town. It has the Devils Crossroads where legend has it that musician Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil for the ability to play the blues. It’s ground zero for the Delta Blues if you’re a music fan. There’s a lot of Historic Blues markers through town. Actor Morgan Freeman owns the Ground Zero Blues Club in downtown, it’s a cool spot and has decent food from what I remember. Also there’s the Shack Up Inn. They brought a bunch of old shacks from around the state and fixed them up nice and it serves as a hotel. Cool idea and a nice old bar next door. You blink and you’ll miss Clarksdale but it’s a cool little spot. Something to consider if you’re in the area and may never be again. I used to travel there for work is the only reason I know about it.

 

Update on our trip planning.


Ok... so, change in plans. Because what would an epic trip be without a bit of flying by the seat of your pants. Was thinking, this opportunity doesn't present it's self often.

Here is the original States we would have hit on our trip.

Green being actual route, red being a side trip 17 States in 8 days is a pretty good number. BUT... Jen has already been to TX, OK, NM, AZ... so fuck that, that's boring. We gotta get her in to States she hasn't been yet.


So here's the new map.



24 States in 9 days... Green is actual route, red is side trips.

That's more fitting of the epic-ness we are capable of. Yes, I do have a habit of overloading my hummingbird ass while planning trips. It's my reputation. I've earned it. I embrace it. Better to have too much to do, than not enough... those are words to live by.

 

Replaced my broken washer reservoir today. Found an aftermarket one on eBay, and got it in. Fun little project.

 

Only this...

 

Taken it for a drive yet?

 

Yes... but I’m being cautious until I put a gauge in

 

Niiiice - but I think it needs a .50 Cal mount somewhere in the back. That would make it perfect.

 

Any stalling issues?

 

sorry for the late reply, I had to find the paper insert from the package.
part #458220 from auto zone. you can get them at other places. Just says 1/4 " Body, Grill, Headlamp Rivets. All I know is they worked for me and were cheap insurance so to speak.

 

joined the squat gang.

 

why settle for one, when you can run a twin mount setup for more firepower.

 

Mmm inbreeding

 

Be sure to visit Chicago, if you survive you can stop by me and get a gold star for not being shot

 

I'm visiting Indy this month, never been. But I updated my tetanus shot just in case

 

Meh. What brings you to Indy?

 

Mecum auction

 

Ah. I use to go. But I catch my self wanting to spend money. It’s a good time.

 

I’ll be down at the 500 later this month.

 

My dad has season passes, I go to most of em but usually skip Midwest ones. Decided I'd go this time.

 

My uncle and cousin's live there. Well not my cousins any more. They were both beat cops. Now one os swat and the other is DEA. Its fucking cold
