    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    As long as it has a VZ bellhousing then you're good

    Yea I don’t think they ever made V8 manuals afaik. It’s a better price than the one in Colville, but going to Kalispell might be a pain.

    I've heard Kalispell is lovely. Can you make a nice weekend of it?

    Maybe so. I wonder if I could fit the gearbox in the back of the Xterra, or maybe I could rent a u haul. Ik a lot of millionaires have been moving there so now houses are like a million bucks in a small town in the middle of nowhere.

    Cool to see some LightPhone 3 reviews popping up. I'm still in the June window I think. I know its silly but I'm looking forward to a click wheel/jog dial.

    If I remember correctly it usually is, it's pretty thick. Looks good from here.

    All the issues I read about seem to be self-inflicted with the result being uneven textures.

    Too much paint, bad prep, bad environment, uneven layering, can each attribute to a bad job.

    Yeah, this fucker came out nice!

    Says cure time is 48 hours but I'll flip it at 24 to do the other side tomorrow then let it sit for the weekend.

    Yeah looks good. So much of painting is prep and painting lighter / more coats. It's easy to get impatient haha.

    The 'lighter' coats was tricky cause, the instructions specify heavy coats

    Was thinking in my head "so...light-heavy, not heavy-heavy, and not light-light" :rofl:

    @Kwikvette there is no one on the beach today. Waves are big when a storm is rolling in.

    Supposed to rain in CA next week, maybe it's hitting you guys first.

    Been going to the park more often lately before it hits, but it's also been unusually warm these past few days :bananadead:

    We need to make a trip up to you guys
