3rd Gen > 2nd Gen

 

I think it goes 1st, 2nd, then 3rd

 

I remember when mine looked that way, whenever I see pics of when I first bought it, I always think to myself “Damn, that’s a good looking truck from factory!” But I like where I’ve taken the look of mine, but I do admire nice clean examples of stock Tacos!
How many miles on it?

 

I... I.. alright, I got nothing...

 

I'm setting up to weld up the last 2 welds on these square tubes. The whole part has to be returned to a polished (not polish @Martyinco lol) finish when I'm done lapping the edges round, which is more challenging than parts that get sandblasted afterwards. For glass welding I need a hand torch on the inside and inside of the part and since the ID on this is 59 mm and its 16" long ill have to bust out the long torch neck.

 

6 years old, 82k. Bought new with 8 miles on the clock.

 

My truck is stock

 

No anvil in my shop, just a 12” long section of railroad track to beat on!

 

I have an after market radio, that's it

Power windows and A/C is all I need, lol.

 

Mines 6 as well, bought it used but during the same model year from a dodge dealership. Only had 1,900 miles on it. It still had the window sticker in the glove box. Was fun to see the depreciation that I capitalized on!
Guess the guy needed a bigger truck or something!
Only 2,000 miles away from hitting the 100k mark!

 

I take that back, I added LED interior lights so I can actually see

 

I've "only" done tube steps, tonneau cover and grille lights.

 

You are supposed to have a forge and make all those goodies.

If your really looking I have a work contact that could make them or point you in the direction to buy them. if your interested .

 

Maybe one day

 

Drilling the 1/4” holes in these. Made a quick little fixture so they’ll all be close to the same.

 

Stock besides OEM Audio and shell. While I was in TX a guy commented, man! There's white and then beyond white lol oh guess I changed out the cheese grate grill too

 

I know theres some ball bearings around here somewhere. I'll see what I can find...think a couple in my toolbox.

 

Audible again on the pressure washer mount. Hopefully my tape measure didn’t lie to me.

 

A jack stand for the recent scrape blade purchase.

 

Looks like a couple Fords been parking beside you
