meaty taco build --- lets do this

new rig-- old truck I drove for 4 years and when I first got married. (now divorced -- lol)

 

Elka 2.0's are here!!

 

Shots on the property near Stillwater--

 

Dirty Taco in the parking garage at work in Dallas.





Time for a bath

 

Covid BS--- My Dad was in the hospital for 19 days or so -- His room was somewhere back there on top floor-- Can't see from the picture but his nurse had a sign up so we could see which room was his. He couldn't even look out they had him on his stomach like 23 hrs a day for 14 days. He is fine now. Just needs to stick with his workout routines and eat healthy. Glad he's good

 

Ancillary BS stuff that I have moved a million times:

 

Elka 2.0 Install -- Before I overspanned them as they sit today (they weren't as tall as I wanted at first--- they work for now but need 2.5's or 3.0s for sure if I stay with IFS much longer.

 

Stuff I took off and sold--- Still have some stock Ubolt parts and holding on to my stock control arms in case of accident on the trail. Oh I added a Shovel. I don't think it's mounted right now. Avid rack eventually came.

 

snow rim dog head

 

Amazon traction boards I mounted with some threads and bolts on a front rail I got on Amazon also for like 89 bucks. Factory it came with just the bed rail things on the sides. Haven't had to use the traction boards before but they look cool??/ lol

 

These pictures were the inspiration behind my rear bumper, hammer hangers and rear shock relocate-- from @WarFab Armor website

 

Valentines 2021---- also the start of a horrible snowstorm in Texas. Y'all remember that horrible wreck with the FedEdx Truck and the FJ?

Snow pics!

 

Another booty shot of @WarFab Armor 's War Rig--- MMMMMM

& why I snagged my rear from them

 

more snow pics

 

@RCI-Offroad A Arm Skids came first--- I ordered Full Steel Skids front to rear including Rear Diff and Gas Tank Skid.



@ARCHIVE Garage Rear Wheel ABS Sensor Skids-- Great part; super smart idea:



@ARCHIVE Garage 360 rotating bushing with some new OEM shackles for rear leafs/hammer hangers from Archive:

 

The mod that in my opinion really changed the look of the truck... other than the bumpers and tires.... @gmartin284's Martin Foundation Roof Rack install:

 

My Bubba Rope has arrived--- but man did it smell like shit. Laid it out four like 3 days straight in the evening and left in garage to get rid of the toxic smell lol. Only used it a couple times so far... but it's always in my truck.

 

AP Off Road bed stiffeners-- drilled a couple extra holes too

 

@ARCHIVE Garage's rear ABS sensor skid and shot of @RelentlessFabrication Rear shock skids (mine are for sale)--- Since relocating my rear shocks.

 

Cut the Tacoma mat in the rear to better fit the bed stiffeners
