The Infamous "Tony The Taco" Build

Nice! That's going to look good on your truck man!

 

Nice setup

 

Got the bumper mounted today with the help of a coworker and I couldn't be happier!! Haven't got the fogs out of the factory bumper get to install but will very soon. Also made another decision while installing. Guys find the difference? Couldn't be happier!

 

Looks great! Bumper is really beefy!!

 

Thanks man. I love it! Now just to get some PODs, anchor shackles, and there's 2 holes cut out on top that I'm gonna mount some round lights on. Buddy of mine at work has some KC lights brand new in the box that's he's lettiing me have for free

 

Thatll look badass! I love the look of the old school round fog lights versus a light bar! Thats just my opinion though lol

Care to share what the difference is? Im curious.. but couldnt figure it out

 

Yeah they're the old school lights from the 80's he said lol


I put my XD wheels back on! Hahah

 

Lol i actually did notice that! I thought i was supposed to be looking for something you changed on the bumper

Thought i was going crazy there for a second

 

Yep that's it! Haha. Buying a dodge 2500 soon and it needs tires and has 16 inch wheels. So instead of buying more I'm just gonna throw the BFG's on it haha

 

Nice! You using the ram for a tow pig? Or just a general work truck so you dont have to use the taco?

 

Tow rig! 98 with a 360 big block. Extended cab short bed 4x4 with 160k miles for 2,500. Couldn't pass it up in this area.

 

Well, found something I couldn't pass up, so I'm not buying the dodge anymore. Found an 88 4runner with 229k miles for 2500 an hour and a half away from me. Also ZERO rust. Only missing the back bumper. Unfortunately it's an automatic but with my arthritis, driving a manual is next to impossible for me for more then a day at a time so it' impractical. Picking her up Sunday morning.

 

Also, going Saturday morning to trade my bestop(that I've never even mounted) for an ARE MX series. Its white with black plastic dip on it. I paid 285 for the bestop and the cheapest shell I've seen like the one im getting was 1900. Probably take it soon to a good paint guy in friends with and color match it and he will do it for me cheap.

 

Awesome!!

Youre just running across all kinds of great deals!

 

Absolutely. I wish I could do this all the time! Just getting lucky here lately!

 

Camper shell! Check! Also traded my n fabs for some iron cross step bars! Very excited. Ended up passing on the 4runner, it's a 3.0 v6 and I'm not trying my luck with it. As I type this though, I have a 2002 jeep grand Cherokee 4.7 v8 "j" motor, 4x4, limited trim with 226k miles on it on its way here. 4.5 inch long arm lift still under warranty all for 2,000 bucks. Around my area it'll sell for around 5,000.

Got my camper shell and steps from a guy named Chris Ball out of Kingsport, TN. He's on here but I don't know his username. Some of you may know him. Great guy to deal with and equally as awesome to just hang out and talk to! Props to him!

 

Not a taco but I'm very excited, my new to me Grand Cherokee!

 

@inwood customs, yep thanks for the like on my intake. Can't quite figure out why you're so focused on it on multiple threads?

 

Dont we all like mods?

 

Yeah, we do. But you go through multiple threads regarding my intake, after making a smartass remark about it, and liking random posts of mine, like you're for whatever reason focusing on anything I've posted tonight
