Bocsy44's taco addiction build

yeah man that's why I got it. its a President Bill. I should be able to mount it under the AC controls in that little cubby, but mount it to the top of the cubby and still be able to throw stuff in there. I will try and find a pic of that cb in the cubby for comparison

 

@tacoma16 I would like to mount it sort of between the cig lighter things. (picture is not my truck)

 

Cool. That would work out pretty well. The thing is so small you could mount it on the passenger side of the Center console as well. Wouldn’t affect leg room

 

yeah I have seen a lot of people mount it there and if where I want it doesn't work out that is most likely where it will end up. but I would prefer it to be mounted in the orientation in the picture hahaha damn OCD lol I feel like that's just how its suppose to be mounted hahahaha

 

Look forward to seeing it all done up.

My switches are there so that won’t work for me. I’m hoping to get a small radio deck and the left over room will be a radio.

 

whats a radio deck?

 

This is what I am looking to do. The space below will be for a ham radio or something.

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh duhhhhhhh I find everyone on hear calls it a head unit so it didnt click hahaha I use to call it a deck hahaha now I get it lol

 

I always thought a head unit was like a big ass screen so dec....Call me old I guess lol.

 

yeah I think its an old school term now, used it back in the day when I was installing sound systems in high school, now I think they are referred too as single din head units and the bigger screens are double din

 

Lol I’ll keep that in mind when I’m shopping. May make it easier.

 

Putting this here so I can find it later!!


credit goes to @Chux

I used 3/16 aloominum plate. Bought a 4’x8’ sheet.. was able to make 3 of them.




Mocked up




Powder coated

 

Yea that’s good spot. I helped install @chad_chinchilla and @Tom mike in that spot

I did mine in that spot thinking it was useless space as well..
Bigger CB had to do some trimming

 

You ordered that bumper yet??

 

no not yet hahaha im going to wait until next month, just don't want to strain myself financially is all hahaha plus im probably just going to order the swingout with the bumper. its a little extra but at least it can be shipped on the same crate so I don't end up having to pay for it to get shipped in the future hahaha but don't worry I will be buying it!!

 

it also doesn't help that I keep ordering other things

I ordered the cab mount relocate kit, a new intermediate steering shaft, some super lube.
still need the 1'' body lift kit and new engine splash guards but these I will order after my bumper cuz its like 600 bucks
im just trying to collect all the pieces I need hahaha its like a puzzle.
next will be the bumper w/ swingout.
it just sucks that its a short month because that means my next pay cheque will be smaller

 

We have to set the bext meet and greet too!

 

I will post up in the Ottawa thread. I can do March 16 or the 23rd

 

@Chux ur the chainsaw guy right?

or anyone else, im looking for some idea's. I probably wont like any of them but lets hear them anyways

so I would like to mount this here (the chainsaw oil):

im picturing some sort or sleeve to slide it into, picture an empty jug like this one, but with the top cut off that I can slide it into to keep it from tipping over.

 

Don’t know if they are still making it. But I know the Ontario overland guys are using these. Hopefully the imagine shows up.
