The Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Area Tacos Thread Thing

Yep, totally down. What's the general consensus? Everyone want to do it soon or wait until later?

 

I guess it's a little late for other people right now haha, I just got done welding my exhaust up.......I just hope it's not in the way of the rear driveshaft haha. I ended up getting another piece of exhaust tubing from autozone to help move the exhaust noise away from the cab since it was so deafening. The muffler was also getting kinda in the way of my trans crossmember, so I moved it back one piece...but it's horizontal instead of at a 45* angle like it used to be....and it looks awfully close to where the driveshaft will be lol. I'll have to install the rear driveshaft and just see how close it is lol, if it's too close, Ill have to devise SOME WAY to pull the exhaust just a tad bit more over haha

 

What's up guys, haven't been on here in a while

 

well hello there stranger, you gonna join us sunday? lol

 

Sunday Funday:
- Alfuh (1980 PU 4x4 maiden voyage)
- EatSleepTacos
- Jimmy
- Jystr +1

 

What's the plan for Sunday?

 

I'm actually busy every. Single. Weekend. Until after July 4th lol

 

well, tomorrow I get my rear driveshaft back for my 1980 then sunday im gonna take her on her maiden voyage out onto the trails to see how she performs

fail, lol, stop having a life haha

 

Camping? Later. I need to get my gear in order and figure out what I need to repair/replace. I haven't camped during the Florida summer in a while; is it as miserable as I remember?

 

probably haha

 

What about meeting up for lunch or something like that

 

That could work, meet up one night or something at a restaurant.

Mod days need to be planned too lol

 

Looky at what i just picked up

 

Neat!

What is it? </s>

 

It's the shortened driveshaft for his 1980 pick up that he's gonna take out Sunday for the first time ever!

 

What he said lol

I'm way too tired to install the rear driveshaft. I got like 2 hours or so of sleep last night...I'm gonna take a nap or go to sleep or something haha. I'm quite happy with the driveshaft, AND the muffler clears the driveshaft lol. I was worried that it was going to be in the way with how it looked, but there's a good amount of room from the quick test fit I did

 

I knew that. Are we going to need hearing protection on Sunday?

 

Well I got my bumper in! I saw ya @Alfuh on the 123 and waved but you were hyper focused on getting your axle and didn't see me! I picked it up from fastenal and dropped it off to get coated. They said it'd be ready in the morning so I should be ready for Sunday! Be sure to pack your recovery gear Chris, I snapped my tow strap so I just have my D-rings and no winch yet. By the way, do you just use soap and a brush to get the mud off your bumper? I'm getting mine line-x'd with the premium stuff so I'm hoping it's not a bitch to clean

 

How capable will Sunday require. I'm more then likely down, but my truck is still stock. If not this weekend, Im definitely down for some mod days to fix that stock problem. lol

 

The ranges are very very mild, I was out playing on the ranges when my 2wd prerunner had offroad slicks on and a cheap rough country lift lol

@Jnelsen I could have swore that was you haha. I saw you too, just for some reason I was focused on the road ahead. Some other jeep had waved at me, no idea who that was lol.

I just use my pressure washer whenever I need to clean my bumper off. I'll make sure to grab the gear then. One of you guys will have to hold onto it. AND I won't have the winch since the tacoma has the winch lol.

I'm just hoping as well that whatever crud that I have that's goin around is gone by Sunday, after I got off work, I've been feeling like crap
