BlaisBrosTacos '08 Reg Cab 4x4 Build and Adventures

I’m all sorts of pumped up about it. none of my local stores had them but the one near @DrFunker had a couple and he was able to pick one of for me and came down to my area this morning. Super greatful for his time and effort.

 

@Breakfast Taco all 6 point sockets that come with it... also if you buy the tool alone, its $99 on HD's website. so this really is a good deal I think.

 

LOL, I was recently chastised for having some 12pt sockets. Makes this even better.

 

Great to see you guys today.
Great little drive through the hills, dales and 'shires.

 

Looking forward to hearing how it works for you Nick.

 

I do my very best to only buy 6 point. It does make a difference.

Always a pleasure!

 

I just want to take something apart! Its currently charging on my desk at work

 

No love. My HD has the tool only on a shelf w/ a $29.99 price tag, guy scanned it - in the computer $79. Called them Christmas leftovers. No kits. Bright side, I don't have any 3/8, so 1 less adapter I'll have to buy.
Good news is I have a new impact driver & bits to play with. "Needed" the impact driver for the bed swap.

 

So you bought the tool only for $29?

 

No, I passed. Decided to be happy w/ my impact.

 

Sorry I guess I completely missed that part of your post lol

 

I did the "I paid my truck off" mod today at the credit union... she's all mine now.

 

Congrats!
Only another 3 years to go on the Land Barge, if I keep it that long. I've been spending a lot of time online looking at the newly remodeled 2500's...

 

Congrats! That's a really good feeling

 

DUDE!
The best mod. Congrat's.

 

Thanks! Kinda pumped about it honestly lol

 

I was all pumped my pintle hitch arrived today, but it kinda pales to paying off the truck!
You paid off the truck!!!! LOL

 

What are you pulling that you need a pintle hitch?

 

I picked up an old military trailer with a Lunette ring. Just a frame basically, that used to have a generator on it. Generator is gone, I dropped the rotted fuel tank. I just switched the bed on my Tacoma, the old one 'should' fit on it.
Plan is mount old taco bed on frame = matchy/matchy trailer. Put camper cap on it, put RTT on camper cap. Presto Taco camper.
OH - same 6 lug rims. Those steel taco rims I got from you - 2 will go on it.

I don't like driving w/ a cap on the bed, cuts down visibility too much. Didn't like the high weight of the RTT when driving. Hopefully having it all "self contained" on the other side of a hitch should resolve my annoyances & let me leave the tent at a site while I go off mudding or exploring... Having a Pintle/Lunette set up, less likely to be stolen I hope.
