Gifts for Husband who lost his Tacoma

Hey everyone! I am joining this forum because I have searched high and low to find the perfect gift for my husband.

He owned a 2002 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner (TRD 4x4, White, extended cab), it was the second car he had every purchased, his pride and joy. Literally, this truck was his baby, the love of his life. I called this his bachelor truck. Sadly, he was in an accident last month and the truck was totaled.

We "replaced" it with a 2015 Tacoma, naturally, and an double cab so he can tote our toddler around comfortably.

Anyhow- I am looking to give him the "blueprint" of his model to frame or some sort of replica to have as a memento. Please help me!

 

There's a member here who does watercolor drawings of trucks. From what I see they are pretty awesome. Here's a link to his thread.

x1000 that's what I was thinking. Maybe send a pic of the truck over to that guy.

 

WOW! Thank you, both, so much! This is exciting!

 

Is there a place to find these for his model? I just checked, it is a 2000 Tacoma.

 

@aloerell1 are you talking about for the watercolor? Or just blueprints?

 

Either! I am not sure which direction to go.

 

Wish my wife did cool shit for me

 

You have some say in that, choose a cooler wife

 

Good idea. Have yours PM me

If he has a favorite picture of his truck you could do a metallic print (picture printed on aluminum) or have a photo edited with Fractalius and printed for a more surreal image

Sort of like:

 

If you have a photo of his truck, that would be cool since it's a little more personal instead of stock blue prints. But that's just my opinion

 

I like the idea of taking a picture of his exact truck and sending it to the member that could do a watercolor of it.

Edit: just read last part where you want blueprints. cant help you there ahaha.

 

Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about your husbands truck. I fully understand his attachment as many of us in the forum do as well.
I saw my name come up in a tag, so I just wanted to pop in to say hello. If you have any questions about the truck portrait process or if you would like to run another idea by me that your thinking about please let me know if I can be of any help. I've been playing around with some new ideas and doing drawings in pen & ink on wood lately too just in case that sounds interesting. In either case I would work from a photo of his truck so it would be customized to his truck's model year, colors, and any after market upgrades he may have put on it could be added in as well.
What ever direction you decide to go, I'm sure he'll be thrilled that that you've been putting a lot of thought into giving something for him to remember it by.
Best of luck

I had a Scout years ago that I sold and wanted have something to remember it by, so I bought a magazine ad from the year it was made on ebay. It was pretty cheap and a unique way to have something specific to the model.

 

I sent you a message! Please contact me Thanks!
