HomerTaco's big old bucket o’ bolts build

Wow is the hood popped in that picture? I don't remember the gap being that bad.

 

It shifted a bit after i installed the under-hood lighing. I'll get the body shop guys to straighten it out when they paint the hood later this winter.

 

TWFTMFW!!!!!

Looks good.....save for the whole 2012+ nonsense

HOWEVER, looks like you went with smoked housing headlights....thank god you finally got rid of that chrome.





Still needs a retrofit though.

 

Looks bitchin dude

 

Wtf are you using for lighting that it made the hood shift!!??

 

Lol, I was just looking at the first page in this thread and noticed this:

↑
that 87 was pretty sick! are you gonna lift your current truck?
Probably not... I use it for work & average 500 miles a week...

Oh my, how things change.......I know, I said the same thing!

 

Just finished browsing through your thread, makes me want to sell the 80 series Landy and put the $$$ into my '14. In a few years I will definitely be asking you some ?'s about that Turtle thing with all the levers you have going on when I decide it's time to join the turtle club since I have a third pedal and six gears as well... P.S Sub'd

 

This thing needs a skewp @HomerTaco

 

I'm sure the answer is hiding somewhere in this build log, but why did you need the 1" body lift?

 

what'd you do to the front end? got a nice little hood gap going on, on the drivers side.

 

Chicks dig flat bellies.

 

Hosted a mod day today - the 4 of us (@Blackout14 @TinyTech626 @loosnut & myself) went in on a LED light group buy. I had them all shipped to my place & we got together today to do the installs.


Joe scored some cool low-profile switches for the bedsides:


then there was light!

The whole gang:


My goofy self doing wiring:






MrsTACO even whipped up a batch of her buffalo chicken dip for us.

We all pitched in and got everyone's lights installed.

Very fun day.

 

lol - she only logs on to send tracking info really. The social aspect of it is kinda lost because she was never bit by the taco bug.

 

Dig those switches.

 

Nothin a dremmel can't handle.

 

I'm gonna make you some sort of dremmel art work as a Thankyou, also, Mrs. Taco asked me to send her the cheese steak dip, as promised please pass this onto her!

Ingredients:

3 Tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, chopped
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
2 lbs cheesesteak meat, frozen and cut into 1" pieces
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 lb cream cheese, softened and cut into 2" pieces
1 (15-oz) jar Cheez Whiz dip
1 lb Velveeta, cut into 1" pieces
3 baguettes, sliced into 1/4" pieces

Preparation:

Pour the oil into the Ninja 4-in-1 Multi-Cooker insert and preheat for 6 minutes on the stovetop high setting. Add the onions and peppers and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the frozen meat, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce and cook, covered, stirring a couple of times, for 8–10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through.
Add the cream cheese, Cheez Whiz, and Velveeta. Cook, stirring constantly, until thoroughly melted, combined, and warm. Place the knob on the warm setting and enjoy with the sliced baguette.

 

I just cut & pasted that into a text message & forwarded it to her.
