Loaded Taco's Build

Only problem I see with it is what happens if/when you want to take the box out of the bed? You'll have to disconnect the air and power lines

 

Same tool box I have

 

Yeah, but if it was more of a permanent mount then its no worries. You would have to disconnect and remove the whole compressor just to get that tool box out.

 

I ran out of engine bay space, didn't want it exposed to the environment, but didn't want to run airline hose through my floor... This was my only solution that satisfied all those needs. lol

I plan on bolting it to the floor of the bed so I don't think I will ever take it out. If I have to the compressor and locker have clips that unhook. The only annoying part would be unhooking my front locker hose... I think I would rather rent or borrow a trailer if I really needed it the space

Will be bolted through the bottom to the bed.

Exactly. They would have a hell of a time getting this out of the truck.

 

thats sick.... definitely going to steal this when it comes time to put in a compressor. I have a nice thick plastic box on wheels I keep in the back that is held in by tie downs. Now this will be bolted in and I still will have the portable box that can come out of the bed. I can't wait to see this beast in person in a couple weeks. I bet your super stoked for this trip to test out all those new goodies.

 

You have no idea! With how booked I am I will not get to go wheeling until I am in Moab with all this new stuff! In case anyone is curious I will list everything that has or is happening from

(Disclaimer: Before you read the list below please understand I live at home, I'm 24 and I have spend almost every disposable dollar I made on this truck. I don't recommend reading any further if your one for Judgmental comments about unnecessary spending...) Enjoy

Fuck it. Looks good man

 

You just never mind them haters...keep on keeping on man. Trucks fuckin awesome, man!

 

dude I'm 24, live at home, and dump every penny I don't spend on beer into my truck hahahaha

 

By the looks of it he drinks less beer than you.

 

hahahaha yeah..... I have a problem......

 

Haha Thanks!

Thank you!

Right on!

Every person I am friends are all like just have fun while you can! Once you have kids, wife, house your free time and money will not be yours to control so just enjoy it. The other stuff will come with time.

My family and parents on the other hand are like. (in nagging voice) "You are not saving any money, your are never moving out, blah blah, and blah blah."

I was dying at this comment!

 

hahaha blah blah blah, definitely just trying to have fun while I'm young. My parents don't mind me staying at home, I am usually only there from midnight to 8:30 am anyways. I couldn't imagine trying to do all this and have a wife and family to take care of/deal with hahaha

 

Exactly!

My Parents are actually pretty chill most of the time. I stay out of their way and they are always off doing shit. If I was a shithead they would have kicked my ass out years ago.

I am so pumped for Moab! Last year was amazing... and part of the reason all of this crap happened. When you get out there and see all the crazy Tacomas it is hard not to get the bug.

 

hahaha exactly!!!!!! I already have the bug but yeah I know what you mean. I am so stoked.... I leave in 2 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours and 19 minutes....... I have to finish my front bumper, mount and wire my driving lights and I know there is plenty more....

 

Can you take a side profile picture? I'm going with Pelfrey for the front bumper, but I'm still on the fence about the high clearance rear bumper. Would like to see a perfect side profile shot to make up my mind.

 

Sure I will tell you that you can tell they were both made by the same company because of the triangular lines in both the front and rear bumpers. I will take you a pictures after work.

 

I'll take a better one later.
