Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

Haha yaaaa but hey that’s how it goes!
And I think you are right? Imma taste it!

 

That’s uh… an interesting use of a ratchet

its way easier if you separate from the uca imo

 

its only holding it out of my way thats all its doing

i never liked separating it at the uca plus i need to press the new coils into the top hat so i need the lca disconnected from the spindle

 

also do you still have those ditch light brackets?

 

And that’s that the lift is on. I’m a tad front high so maybe a 1” add a leaf or block for the rear? I also painted and put on a ifs skid a buddy gave me.



Very bent all pro ifs skid I got for cheeeap

And since the truck was down little Sumi was what I had to drive around and get parts and such haha

 

I had one of those military trailers back in the day. It was from the sixties and I purchased it a military base surplus auction in the middle '70's for next to nothing. They left all of the markings and stickers on it and added a small sticker showing it was a surplus sale. I loved that thing. After many and constant offers over the years to buy it I finally caved for an offer I couldn't refuse in the late '80s and sold it.

It's right up there in the top list of THE worst decisions I ever made...

 

Yep

 

ill send ya a pm on em

 

Same spot, same lift, oddly enough same brand of tires , two different trucks years apart. As austin said it begins again!

 

Made a deal with my dad that if I fix the bike he will pay for the parts so here we go!

 

Simple phone pic with a shit edit but eh.

the truck got some ditch light brackets and a viper cut the other day. Gotta work on fixing all my wires that were cut so that will be fun

 

this one is a 53 if i remember right. its been a great trailer but i have no use for it anymore so ive listed to sell it.

 

We are finally getting a little bit of snow

 

Well that’s a lot more snow

 

nothing great for pics this go around... my cameras battery was dying so it wasnt able to get the pics right haha maybe another time! but we got about 7ish inches of snow around my house which is kinda neat!

 

More snow and super cold temps! My washer fluid froze lol

 

That’s never a fun time

 

Nope! All my last trucks I put the cold stuff in it just incase. Well this one I haven’t even touched since I got it so who ever owned it before me didn’t go out in the winter much I guess

 

Testing out the new phones camera after washing the truck. pretty nice tbh it can shoot in raw which allows for some edits to it. It doesn't replace my actual camera but will be great when riding around on the bike

 

Im really starting to like the access in red
