My slow build of "The little Taco that could"

Hmm, true. I still want tubes I think, but now that my driver side mounts are bent I think it'll be interesting....

Yeah, I get annoyed when it does that. But I just put up with it haha

 

Yeah it's a good thing to do even if you're not doing crazy off the wall shit.

Looking into making a partial exo now to help protect the sheet metal.

 

dude...the exo idea was brewing all day when aleks and I were running 7 mile. Its starting to become more and more taunting. Im basically wheeling solid axle obstacles and trails and i have shit tier ifs lol.

 

I have been looking at tube benders even before Moab.

 

i know a guy that has one...maybe i can steal it

 

I'd like to see more ideas for exos, partial and full. Might play with conduit and play around with ideas.

 

C'mon Mark. I know you're smarter than that....(a little at least). Rule number one when you get in your truck should be to strap in no matter what. It's not gonna matter if the seatbelt locks up on you when your head is crushed cuz you got dumped out of our truck. Seriously man, you never know when something could go wrong. Always strap in.

 

That pic tho.

 

That being said, an accident (rollover at about 65mph) occurred not long ago where the cab of the guy's SUV was on his head while he was in his seat. Needless to say he didn't make it.

 

HI
ouch..... I hate seatbelts..... but recently started wearing one offroading....

 

yup. thats why i started using the silly thing

 

Flat bed you say?

Adam are we a little bias toward flat beds? came across this while looking at ideas.

Edit: are those tail lights from a Samurai or a LC?

 

Fuck yes if I ever roll a flat bed will be my route

 

Got bored and took out the wiring harness and the fuel lines and hooked everything back up just to see if it'll run

Ah yes, my old '85. That truck was awesome. Loved it. Those taillights were samurai lights. I wanted FJ40 lights but the samurai ones were essentially the same but about half the cost.

 

Thanks to LoadedTaco for making the video

A fuse blew a hole through the hood??

I'm now convinced that JB weld should and will be carried with my supplies on the trails.

 

It was the positive terminal of the battery.

just got a cab and now I just need to get it home.

 

Your welcome.


Well I got another cab since I had a few days off. Getting a facelift on my ol' 99. Got an 02 cab and going with the 02 front end style. Just need pretty much most of the front end sheet metal now. Not to mention more doors Might tear up my old doors and make em half doors just to ride around town.

 

I'm just saying, a flatbed reg cab with a snorkel is badass. Hope you're going this direction.
