PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

You've never heard of Crosley? In the late 1990s, my grandma bought me a book called Classic and Collectible Trucks that went from the 1920s to the present day (the book was published in 1996 or 1997). That is how I knew exactly what this thing was; I've also seen at least one other registered, and thus roadworthy, example at a car show...

 

Downtown Centralia!

 

It was COLD on Sunday. It was not as cold as it was the very first time I went to Centralia back in February 2022, but it was cold. We had sweatshirts, but that was about it, and that is why Amanda is bundled in a blanket for a couple of these pictures...

 

I discovered a trail that is normally grown over by brush when it's warmer, and decided to make an attempt at driving the truck up it; I did not get stuck, and in fact my 2WD Taco did quite well in terms of traction. The tree seen partially blocking the path in this picture is what led to me aborting the attempt...

 

I also ended up with a few minor scratches on the passenger side after backing up...

Somebody chopped up a hardtop from a Jeep Wrangler and left it in the woods in Centralia; I have no idea if it came from a TJ or a YJ...

 

I found a rock and smashed the remaining window...

I'm not going to lie; I briefly thought that this was a human skeleton when I first saw it from a distance...

 

I guess someone broke into a Jeep?
