Tacomas doing work

Very nice. Did you have to get Meso’s amber switchbacks for the taillights to be compliant with the European standards for Amber turn signals?

 

Sadly no, that's what I wanted to do, but with the incredibly limited runs of stuff that he does, it just wasn't in the cards. The Military AutoSource facility that sells the new vehicles did a light conversion for me, but I dread to look behind the lights to see what kind of hack job they've done on the harness of (what was at the time) my brand new truck.

I would actually love to still do some sort of change to the tail lights myself to have them do amber switchback in the correct part of the housing (they moved my indicators in to the reverse light section on amber bulbs, and wired a super bright white peanut light to one of my license plate bolts for my reverse light), but every time I read a write up on it on doing it, it fries my brain. lol

 

Towing a friends Gremlin X over Mt Hood.

 

that stuffs cost $6/ft. Rich people put them in their bars, living room and bathrooms for that extra authentic feel. It's pretty trendy with the distressed craze these days.

 

Barnwood is expensive. This is old privacy fence, $0 per foot.

 

I’ve kept all my old fencing. Easier to deal with then tearing apart pallets and cheaper then barn wood. I prefer do make rustic farm looking stuff and kinda the theme we have in the house so it works out.

Hell if you were closer I’d offer you some!

 

Thanks! I'd take it.

 

I really like that wall.

 

Thanks again.

 

The truck did fine (the bed is also loaded with wood), but I got a little carried away overloading the small trailer and had to re-build part of it after this outing. Have some sumo springs, and loving the way they handle loaded/unloaded so far.

 

Hauling a small chipper today.

 

Helping my parents build a new dock. My dad didn’t believe me that we’d get all the lumber in one trip. The thing barely squatted lol.

 

Small haul for today

 

Some light tree work

 

So cal problems

 

Delivering a load of ice melt at work. 24-50# bags (1200#). Getting close to bump stops.

 

Putting the bed to good use

 

Last ride of the season a couple weeks ago

 

that doesn’t count.... it’s not work, it’s fun!

 

Getting rid of some old steelies, front bumper, bumper support, and other junk.

And my least favorite activity.
