Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

So I've had the recall replacement Ironman 4x4 UCAs in my garage for over a year. @Camerasandcoffee has been asking me when I was gonna get around to swapping them, especially since I blew out the ball joint boot somewhere in KenTWucky25. I drank too much last night with buddies around a fire, but got my ass up this morning and Jonathan and I got the job done, easy peasy.



Yeah, this was beyond trashed. I'm really surprised I didn't notice anything in drive quality.



Thank you again Jonathan! Looking forward to helping you out with a new rear bumper yet this summer!

 

Hammer the pinch welds, trim the fender liners, and send it!

 

Is it bumper time yet?

 

It's bumper o clock somewhere

also got rained on.

 

I think the duct tape should be black!

 

That's speed tape, but yes, it should be black

 

Speaking of UCA's. My $12 rubber UBJ caps showed up today.

Hey now. Take it easy on ol' Curby. Last time I started him up I rolled down the windows and that one didn't go back up.

Told Jonathan I'd really like to get that thing running properly this summer. Then I have to decide what to do with the needed body work. Dress it up with a nice paint job or go rat rod.

 

Wrap it.

 

Curious how well those work and if they stay put... I'd like to put caps on mine as well. I should measure them up.

 

Me too.

They make gray caps..

 

I looked into wrapping it a few years back and it was nearly as expensive as a decent paint job and only warranted for 2 or 3 years. When I get to that point I'll probably price it out again as an option.

As we say here, it's not a show car...

 

@McSpazatron I saw this brand new GX550 on portals and 38's and thought instantly of you.

 

Holy mother of God!

 

He's an older retired gentleman. Real nice guy.

 

That is fucking awesome!
