MARYLAND TACOMAS

Seems to me that those talking football and becoming a police officer don’t really know
much about Taco’s…just trying to kill time.

 

Also, I just wanted to say Cockamamie. It's an underused word that I feel needs to be more mainstream.

 

Looking at the pics, on one side the decal says TRD Off Road and the other side says TRD 4X4 Off Road!!

 

See! Those are my thoughts exactly and what I have been saying all along!!!!!!!

Welcome to the forum and the Maryland thread! Post up some pics of your truck so we can wave if we see you on the road!

Here's mine if you are ever in or around Harford County, and Street to be exact.

 

Could it be used as a spotlight handle?

 

I didn’t even notice that.
Here’s the response “Thanks for the offer, but we can't accept your offer at this time.”

Well I tried lol.

 

Wait, we wave now? No one has ever waved to me…

 

There's the New York I know and Love!

 

Nice Tyler, what part of the shore?

 

Yea, well, the one side is OEM, but the other side looks like a different font. That threw me off at first but when I saw the passenger side I was like AHA! So yea, buyer beware on this one.

You should reply "Great, let me know when you can accept it"

 

I wave at you all the time. It's just never you though I am waving at. I bet there's a sub-set of Tacoma drivers around here not on the forum that say "oh yea, that weirdo" in conversations.

Here Eric, for all the waves you missed from me.......

 

I always check to see if someone is going to wave, just in case but they try not to make eye contact

 

We have a summer house just off of Chincoteague Island. We can see Wallops Island and the satellites and Chincoteague from our communities private marina and crab pier. Its nuthin' fancy but its a perfect little getaway spot and lets me pretend to be an off roadie on the beach. Weve had the place 40 years. I have alot of great memories down there and hope to make alot more!

 

I like when I wave and get the "who TF was that?!" look

 

Wow, that's freaking awesome! Sounds great. We are huge fans of any shore. Always have been. We would love to retire someplace like that and live the beach life. We definitely want to take our dog to the shore too soon so she can experience it. I know she will be overwhelmed.

 

Happy Monday MD-ers! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Got a bunch done on the taco with the beautiful weather. Of course one project leads to the next on this thing, which is fun but sometimes a PITA! Still have to put on the new rear suspension, fix the cancer in the back, get alignment, brake lines, and get the tires mounted.

New OME and SPC up front:




Cancer in the back:


What’s the best way to restore the frame on this thing? POR-15? Wool wax?

Thanks guys

 

Also have a question regarding alignment. I won't have time to put the rear leafs on till next weekend but the front needs an alignment. Is it ok if I get an alignment now and then throw the rear on?

Thanks

 

Ok, so after seeing what @EatSleepTacos and then @rnish , and others have done I have decided to do the same thing. That is, remove the rear seats and build a platform for Phoenix. She loves riding in the truck and we take her with us wherever we go.

If you want the long version, the thread and my posts are here:

But for those TLDR people here are some pics.



















The next step is to add some storage for all our Doggie accessories we always pack with us for Phoenix, like bowls, bottles of water, poop bags, etc. Then to also have storage for other things I like to keep in the truck. First aid, fire extinguishers, spare jackets, etc.

I bought this, it will be delivered tomorrow:

It should hold everything we need to keep in there for her.

I also want to add something to the doors for her to support herself better, so I am also looking at these:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LNWZ5VJ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A1NVP34VXY7CAY

Then finally, so I don't have to leash her when she's back there, I am seriously considering adding these to the inside of the doors somehow. She tends to get tangled in the leash.

Which could be attached and removed easily with something like this

I'd appreciate any of your ideas to some of the final door applications.

 

No, that should not mess with the front at all. Just a thought, Firestone (if you want to trust them) have 20 or 40 off lifetime alignment.

 

I would think as long as you don't change the geometry of the front doing the rear, no, get it done now. But it might just be better to wait a week. I would also wait until you have the tires on just incase you need to increase the caster.
