MARYLAND TACOMAS

Doing a job in Brookeville today. Anyone around here?

 

No, but Brookeville beer farm is near by...great beer and food.

 

Morning MD!

 

Mornin' Maryland crew. Welcome to the page @Shotgunridge! Plenty of good people and info bouncing around in here. Not sure howww far south in MD you are but you may even consider making an appearance in the VA page if you've not already.

 

I was but now I have a cap.

 

I love mine.

 

Unfortunately I had to go to Baltimore for a chiropractor appointment. Congested traffic and this was at 1:00, not even rush hour. I'm so glad to be out of that mess and back to the peacefulness of the mountain.

 

Thanks Eric! Yea, that's my credo. People were telling me I was too old to do things meant for younger men. Now it's my license plate My Brü !

 

I usually compose myself with new member introductions but I feel dastardly



HOWDY SHOTGUUUN! Welcome to Tacomaworld and The Funny Farm! I'm a Merlyn native, born and bred, and when I die, I'll be Merlyn dead!

Yeah, like others said, post up some pic of yer rig!

Here be me



Ya gotta zoom in a little tho.

Nice ta have ya here!

 

I love the pup restraint system!

 

I bought it from a member here on the Md page for $125. I was never a cap guy but it's nice not having to worry about stuff getting wet and for hauling my dog around. It contours the truck well.

 

Really? I didn't know that. Hmmmm. Gonna have to stash that in the memory bank for after the shoulder is ready for some serious shenanigans. Get that guy Corey @FIRE74 involved though to keep me safe.

 

You're old.

 

What do you do Lady M?

 

GET A HIGHER THAN THE CAB MODEL!!!!

Yes, cab height looks slick but for usable space, especially in my case with the short bed, I sometimes wish it was higher. I can roll 33's in too. Honestly though, I'd buy a full rear door to replace the standard cap window and the truck tailgate. Windoors too! GET WINDOORS!

Learn from your elders

 

Just started a new job with a dry lay masonry company. It seems they've moved more into concrete repair, leveling and overlays and such which is what I've been learning. I've never done anything like this before. Will finish my second week tomorrow.

 

The seller mentioned it on here a few months back, I jumped on it quick lol. I saw a black hi-top tacoma cap the other day on Marketplace for $150. The extra head room of a hi-top might be better for camping.

 

Good deal, concrete work is a good trade to know. Sometimes it’s just a messy pain in the ass, but I have seen people build beautiful things with it as well. I work for Schuster driving a mixer. How are you liking the new job? Maybe if your ever on a job this side of South Mountain, we will run into each other.

 

My “Big Brother “ company just put cameras on my work/ bucket truck - it’s BULLSHIT !- they say it’s for insurance reasons- I have the interior facing dashcam covered up -they don’t need to watch me pic my nose

My Best friend frequently went to Outlaw BBQ- for lunch - we had there BBQ- served at his celebration of life recently after losing his battle with Cancer
The situation SUCKED !!-but the BBQ- was tasty
F- cancer !!

 

That’s a good looking truck. I’m bone stock. My truck has dealer options, but they wouldn’t take that stuff off. Couldn’t be too picky in this market. I was fortunate to find a 6’ bed.

I think I’ll join the truck cap club soon.
