How's the shop treating ya

 

Minus the tree freshener and camo steering wheel cover lol

 

I need to tree freshener my truck until I figure out why TF water keeps getting on the driver side seatbelt every time it rains, makes my truck smell like swamp ass when its wet out.

luckily it doesn't stay wet out here long enough to make it a huge issue, but its still annoying

 

Loving it and loving the shop life

 

Ah, gross

Vent window seal?

To be fair I do use trees but don't hang them up anymore. i leave the tree with a small cut in the wrapper in the door card, gives just enough of a clean smell and lasts a long time lol

 

Look at all the extra scrap metal

 

I've no idea, the window seals look good to me but I have taken them on/off a few times. Maybe should look at it again...I just can't really see where water would be able to reach the seat belt but nothing else (roof has no water stains).

I've just started leaving the back sliding widow cracked 24/7, rain doesn't really get into it easily and it keeps the rank smell out when it's wet outside

 

those are throwaway springs? Just bad powder coat or what?

 

They were supposed to be park benches, but someone done screwed up.

 

I can find out day after tomorrow for ya.

I got an idea though; use my hidden winch mount and build a low profile tube bumper from that. Or maybe one from plate?

We'll see.

 

Aaaaaand I bought another roof tent

We should just all admit that we want a lc

 

Gonna sell mine soon, just takes up space and weight on my truck and I don't use it enough to warrant that anymore. What kind did you get

 

Just give it to me

 

One for the Taco, one for the LC?

 

I'll trade you for the T4R

 

I'm not sure how a Tacoma headliner is, but my Civic had a leak from the top of the windshield that showed as water dripping from the rear view mirror. The water would pool at the front edge of the headliner and run to the mirror, which was the lowest point. It took me several rainfalls to find the source of the leak (I originally thought it was the sunroof) but the headliner never showed water stains.

 

Theres like 10 barstool stands just sitting there ready to be assembled.

I think I liked frugally going through scraps/drops to plan my projects around then when I had money to plan stuff out the "right" way. Something about challenging yourself to build something as cheaply as possible with as little waste as possible is pretty fun. I built my rear bumper for I think $120 all said and done. Most of it was found in a scrap yard, the main piece of channel being part of an order someone else never picked up that I scored for cheap.

 

You know that I actually went through my head. Not a bad idea really. But I don't really like leaving a tent on the cruiser it's just too tall. I bought the same tent that I have now but about 9 years newer and even cooler the guy only used it three times it's like brand new but 500 bucks less than buying it new. Has the nicer sunroof option and the rain fly that ties down to the sides more securely which is pretty cool too. My tent just
has a lot of seasons of use on it and it was time to replace it. I saw this on Facebook marketplace and couldn't pass it up.
