Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Now that what I call putting a positive twist on things
These old beast are built pretty solid though with fully boxed frame and even a steel fuel tank skid supported at the frame. It's been in Nebraska for about 5 years. Arizona prior to that.
The guy I bought it from gave me another transmission but it's slightly different than the one in it. He also had a good front bumper that I'm very much regret not digging out of the rafters in his garage

 

Ship it through Fastenal and bill it to the boss as a "shop expense"

 

Thats cool 4R. Does it sit a bit lower in rear? Ive seen some older ones that seems to either sag or rear "rake"

 

I don't think we ship full vehicles. If we did, all fluids would have to be drained.

 

Its got bolts...yes!

 

It's that way on both sides now...

 

Yes, this one does that as well. Only $70.00 for a new set of springs if I kept it that would also be on the to-do list.

 

How many miles on it, again?

 

Time to get out the glue gun!

 

I think 3k be better spent on patching up your existing frame and then slop some POR all over it and drive it until it's completely gone.

 

Odometer reads 290k miles

 

Most of the time if they aren't biting good Sadie will say "you catch me one and let me reel it in" and she'll wonder off playing. Yesterday she stood in one spot and caught all those, we were getting ready to leave and I said let mom catch one on your new poll (a friend gave both the kids a graphite pole Saturday that extends out to 9' 3" with no reel). My wife was standing there not getting a bite and Sadie said "you want me to catch one for you so you can reel it in"

 

you are committed now...lol

 

Kids can be so brutally honest can’t they?

 

Yes sir they can, she's 6 going on 21

 

I wish!

There are several other things wrong with it other than just the frame. Like, other parts of the frame, valve covers, leaking power steering, bed is all rusted to shit.

 

There are several houses going up across the street from us, OSHA just came in


Friend of mine was over there doing gutters on one and left, along with others who heard

 

Ugh! It's just crazy what even used vehicle prices are right now. I see 2017 Tacoma's like mine with 125k miles and some asking prices are more than what I paid new!! Ridiculous man
