Southern01Taco's build

A few small updates. I dug my stock tires out and put them on to make sure they were still in good shape for a couple of trips that are coming up. I put the boggers in the back and took a few dimensions so that I can start drawing up a bed rack. I took off the bug shield to see how it looks without it and I also snapped a few pics of the new stickers I've added.

 

Looks good, I love those swampers though.

 

Thanks. I do too. They just aren't made for the highway. Around the house I'll run them but the stockers are going to be for long trips and I'll just swap them when I get to where I'm going.

 

Yeah thats the problem with those tires, especially since im in arizona haha. They would wear out way too fast

 

This picture is sick!

 

Beautiful truck man! I love it!

 

Lol yea I agree.

Thanks.

 

My powertank came in today. I'm excited to get it filled so I can try it out. I need to figure out where to mount it till I get my bed rack made.



I also started designing my bed rack.

 

Started building my bed rack today. I still have alot of stuff to do to it but I hope to have it finished next week.

 

Nice job man!

 

Thanks.

 

I'm hopefully getting a tacoma just like yours within the next 3 weeks! I'll be looking at this thread for ideas often! Great build!

 

Thanks man. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Update:

I got my bed rack almost finished. I plan on getting a few coats of paint on it tomorrow and then get it bolted in. The only other thing I'm going to do to it is put a tie down system on top. Here are a few crappy low light pics of the rack and one of the tie down system that I have ordered.







I added a pop and lock tailgate lock, for when I have my tires in the bed.



I also made a sticker for my tool box

 

Well, I got a few things done today. I finished my bed rack, for the most part. Just waiting on the tie-down rails. I did some trimming in my fender wells, to get a little more clearance for my tires. I also changed the pads and rotors.

 

Whatcha gonna do with that other bed bar?

 

I'll probably sell it.

 

Hey southerntaco I notice you took your old bed bar off would be interested in selling the old one

 

Actually, I've got someone locally interested in buying it. If he decides that he doesn't want it, I'll let you know.

 

YAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE WITH AN ARTILLERY SHELL CAN!

i've never seen anyone else but me have one.
nice build man.

 

Thanks. Lol. Yea I love it. I bought it from a man that was selling a bunch of different ammo cans out of the back of his truck, on the side of the highway lol. I wish I would have had a little more cash on me at the time because I would have bought a couple more.
