What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

 

Thanks for the info. Awesome looking Tacoma you have.

 

Glad to help!

 

WasheD....

 

Funny! My wife doesn't know diddly about firearms but she knows a new one when she sees one. Same thing on mods. Boy am I glad she's such a good sport!

 

Wow. Your Mom sounds amazing. Some just know how to step up when they have to. We didn't have much growing up, Dad worked, Mom stayed home but wouldn't change it for the world. Loved my childhood. Times were simple and like you said, your word meant everything. Need more of that these days.

 

Humid when you painted? You've got it now and in the end that's all that counts.
Nice job, looks good!

 

Man you guys struck a chord here. When my Grandfather died in 1962, who was the farmer breadwinner, with 5 other kids at home, my Dad spent weekdays working and then every weekend trying to help Grandma farm and help "raise" his 5 siblings down in NC. We didn't have much growing up. Spent summers, after baseball (which was one brief season then), helping pull and string tobacco among other farm chores. I think when I was 14 we got a window a/c unit. Used to get the JCPenney looks like Levi jeans and their look like Converse tennis shoes. Life was still good. I did get a Schwinn paperboy deluxe for my 3 paper routes (what the heck is a paper route some may ask). I saved paper route money and paid cash, $1000, for my first car, a 1971 Charger with 50,000 miles, and my Dad made me park it for a month until "I" saved enough for insurance. No cell phones, no cable, no video games. But life was awesome. No regrets.

 

Thanks. Mom was a tough act to follow. She was the family matriarch.
Wish I had my stuff together half as much as she did. Instead I'm spending money on a perfectly fine Tacoma on stuff that I really don't need.

 

Speaking of things not really needed...

Just ordered a DSIM courtesy light module.

Life was a lot simpler back then! I remember I didn’t own a pair of Levi’s until I got a summer job and paid for them myself! Before that it was Sears Toughskin Jeans!

 

And life was good and much less complicated.

 

Just got my order in! Stoked!

 

Think most Moms were tough back in the day. Could handle anything thrown at them for the most part. Remember when she worked at a bank when it was robbed at gun point. Everyone lost their cool but her. That's what ended up keeping them from getting harmed. She was actually the one that handed over the money while slipping in a dye pack. I would have probably been a wreck. She brushed it off and kept on chugging until she retired. Nerves of steel.

 

Agree 100%

 

Yup, old school had it going on they were tough as nails, they had to be.

 

More parts. Eibach pro truck kit, wheelers 3 leaf aal, and sway bar relocate kit. Getting closer

 

Leather boots and a leather wrapped dash piece. Gonna paint the background of these tan and put the trim back on. I hear krylon is a good paint to use. I still need to scuff the surface. Still don’t have the paint so any info on that would be nice.

 

Mine was red with white seat! I guess we are showing our age. Lol

 

Picked up the Snugtop Rebel today. Really digging it.Can't wait to put this thing to use.
