    Man the new bumper eric made for the 1st gen taco's is bad azz!

    Oh so your bumper is fine now, its recovering... But the worst is over now. It needs you to just be calm and rest. Should be out of oregon tomorrow and you can see her then.

    Got some pictures of my new box and how I've set up my OBA.

    2011-05-07_17-52-30_17_e4ccf1d60ded05bbc340e9cb7c349b56b78cd317.jpg

    I extended the tank drain valve through the bottom of the box, just reach under and unscrew the valve to drain into the bed. Aside from that it's nothing special. Runs my air gun okay though. Puma 12v.

    Added a sticker I've wanted for a long time.

    added a couple more stickers I wanted, but didn't want the truck to look tacky. As if the pedobear doesn't...

    If anyone has any suggestions for tastefully adding a better lock to this box, please go ahead. I'm not sure I want to throw a hasp and padlock on the front of this thing quite yet.

    Bumper is drying in the garage, goes on tomorrow.

    Looking good Max.:thumbsup:

    Man, you are certainly testing my resolve to stick to my original thoughts on my own build. Who would've thought 35's would fit with that little bit of "trimming". And why not cut the rear fenders to get a bumper that will save any crumpling of the rear fenders?:notsure::D

    Maybe I'll have to look into divorce lawyers first and compare that cost vs. more build cash!:)


    SWEET!!!
