The Dirt Taco: From Mobile Meth Lab to Righteous Rock Crawler

I noticed the maxxis and figured it was something good. Didn't catch a clear shot of what it was

 

Really cool video series. Love seeing stuff like this. As previously stated, no expensive anything. Just some average dude tinkering with a clapped out truck, making it as nice as they can with help from friends.

I'm excited for updates.

 

I hear it doesnt get the dreaded TOB chirp that i have though, lol. Mines not unbearable, but annoying none the least.

 

Looks great. You used sanding pads?

 

I guess buffing pads would be more accurate. Same ones the guy in the video used, but I used the medium, fine, and ultra fine too.

Is it just me or are some of these videos defaulting to HDR? Super annoying. Even if I move the video to my HDR OLED it looks like shit.

 

If your phone supports it and you have YouTube set to auto, it will pick it

 

That settles it. The automatic is BETTER off road!

 

Lol on the previous owner gutting his own cats. Not surprised honestly given the rest of what we have seen on this truck. Awesome to see it on the trails and running right.

 

that was a serious wtf moment. I just don’t understand the tweaker mentality.

 

I thought my interior could get trashed at times!

 

Kids doing a great job. Love the progress he is making. I appreciate the repairs and tear downs as I now have a better idea of how my truck functions. The debris he found after the fuel pump repair was disappointing. Sucks that whoever did the fix wasn’t all that careful. My mint 2020 TRD Sport seems like a prissy princess compared to his truck of hard knocks. Really enjoying the series and his abilities.

 

When I saw the first video I thought he got it at a great price until I saw the condition. I don't mind the scratches, dents, or mechanical issues man was it disgusting dirty.

I subscribed to his channel and look forward to more videos as he made progress on the truck. I'm thinking he may have been better off overhauling the original engine than doing a junkyard swap.

Either way, awesome job and very entertaining.

Props for building your own bumper.

 

He’s a definite go getter! Like he’s not afraid to jump in and try.

 

Impressive stuff

 

thanks for keeping up with the series and posting!

also, there’s so much that I don’t include in these videos. If I included everything it would regularly be 30-45 minutes long and people start to drop off after the 10 minute mark.

I replaced the power steering pump on the truck and now I can turn again, so that’s pretty sweet. I also find it strange these things use ATF instead of power steering fluid. Even when the cap says “ power steering fluid” . Would’ve been nice to have a little note on the cap
