JDawg562's Long Travel Tacoma

Wheels look good, hope my LT kit is finished soon. My bank account is about to look the same way after I get a kit

 

Dude your truck is looking sick!!! I just saw your update on your build and remembered who you were. I was the dude who went to West High and I think you went to either North or Torrance High. My wife and I are doing the Mojave Trail to start off our two week trip to Denver and Back. We'll be leaving September 7th at night and camping a little bit into the trail and then we'll be driving most of the trail the next day and camping again towards the end and then continuing on up to Utah. Let me know if that would be something you'd be interested in (doing the mojave trail). Hope all is well man.

 

lmao Yeah that was a rough week. Who's making your LT kit?

Oh yeah I remember that! I went to North. Dude that sounds awesome! Let me get back to you on that.

 

Going with a Trac 3.5 over kit

 

Yeah man for sure! We're excited. Just PM me if you end up deciding it would be something you wanna do and we can set up when and where to meet!

 

Painted the bolts and washers today. I put half of them on tonight and will finish the other 2 wheels tomorrow.

 

Finished up the wheels.

 

Went back to Big Bear, CA

Before we left on Friday night.










Miners Cabin

 

Looks awesome!! I was thinking about getting the NVs but after seeing them on yours, I'm definitely getting them!

 

Yeah they're rad! I actually ordered the Method Double Standard with machined lip from a vendor for $670 shipped for all 4 to my house and the Method NVs showed up. I was a little bummed at first, but they kinda grew on me as they sat in my room. I also thought I see a lot more Method Standard and Double Standard wheels too.
It was one of the best mistakes so far with my truck and probably the only best mistake lol. I'm picky and really do a ton of research before I drop any cash.

I got money to spend, but not money to blow.
^^new motto.

 

Got lost in the desert at night...

Then made it to work Monday...

 

Looks like fun man! We just did the Mojave Trail this last weekend. It was a blast man, too bad you guys couldn't make it. We'll all have to go sometime when work slows down for you. I'll have a bunch of pictures on my build thread within the next week.

 

Sweet! I'll be looking forward to it!
I just had that Sunday off. We crammed way to much stuff in just one day. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep from Sunday night.

 

Sounds good man! Haha I feel ya dude! I had a tough time getting back in the groove at work on Monday cuz the weekend was so eventful haha.

 

Glassworks Bedsides 11-22-14

Got some bedsides and installed them!









Also did the "Installed D-Rings in the Bed" mod while I was moving the bed around anyways.

It was pretty easy to install everything unbolted. Didn't even use my spot weld cutter... and just drilled out the rivets on the fuel door and bought some bolts and nuts for it.

 

Looks awesome man! What is the black on top of the rear fiberglass bedsides? It looks good.

 

Thank you!

lol Plasti Dip!!! I wanted to see what it would look like before I bought and painted actual Bed Liner on top of the bedsides.

 

Oh alright nice. I like it with the plasti-dip.

 

nice truck! im local as well. just picked up a 06, but too bad its a 5 lugger, i wish i had known how difficult it is to find suspension/wheels for them or i would have gotten a 6. i already lifted, and ordered some A/T tires. hope it does well on trails, i could join ya sometime. keep up good work on your truck!

 

Lol yeah I saw someones flat top bedsides with bed liner on the tops. So I wanted to see what it would look like lol.
