"All new parts...just needs a fuel pump to run"

 

Did you have factory cruise? I've noticed in junkyard trucks that cruise control seemed to get a different inner fender, with accommodations for the bracket.

If you didn't have cruise... @Kwikvette I might be interested in one of these brackets. Looks like it would work fine for my Viair.

 

Yeah I can make another easily

I went off of @Wulf measurements though so if any changes need to be made, I'd like to implement those changes for the new bracket?

 

yeeaaa it probably warrants a design update. I know the original only had one ear for mounting and I ended up welding the 2 you sent me together to give 2 mounting ears lol

 

no cruise or abs for me. All driver

 

Humble brag

 

@6P4

Just draw it out as needed, and I can cut it out

Though I would have to ask, what gauge material?

I can't recall the two I made for Kira, think one was 16 gauge and the other was 12 gauge?

@Wulf what would you suggest?

 

the body has the dents, scratches, and wrinkles to remind me I can do better

 

Actually that’s not a bad idea. I want something good for the snow and mild dirt roads.

 

I was home for the holidays and any momentum I had was lost.

 

Full-time 4WD makes shit stupid easy for sure so significantly more than just "mild dirt roads"

I mentioned clearing up the driveway and getting rid of the Ferd. Getting rid of the GX and getting a Taco would be a nice transition so I can have a bed again

I've been enjoying the wife's new car too much

 

I know of a taco, it needs some work from a driveshaft failure but has a ton of recent work done

 

My moms friend mentioned she usually leaves that 4Runner in 4hi even when the roads are only partly snow covered or wet. I’m amazed nothing has exploded yet. Anyway I think AWD is better for the vast majority of people so you don’t have to worry about them to switch in and out of 4x4.

 

I’ve lost some motivation too. Driving that 4Runner made me realize how much I prefer SUVs or wagons. Pickup beds are not that useful to me, it’s not like I have to haul hay or manure around.

 

Straight trade the taco for the GX @Kwikvette

 

Yeah no, I would be getting one in CA



Our frames here are clean AF

 

Yeah fucking right

Gonna need plenty of cash on top

 

For majority of people yeah I bet

My wife's RAV4 has all these different modes and she was like "I'll never mess with any of these"

Just make sure all four tires are the same size!

 

Same. Mine was basically a stripper of a TRD OR. No extras.
