Tim's Taco Tales

Thanks!

 

Installed a new-to-me Bestop Supertop V1 this weekend. I love it so far, and install went well except I busted one of the clamps, so I'm ordering new ones. This thing beats my tonneau cover hands down.

 

Is he Taking a wiz...

 

Yes. That's my little brother lol

 

Somebody ran into my truck in a parking lot. I don't know when or where though, because it is on a part of the truck that I don't look at often, the passenger side rear fender.

 

how would you rate the Nilight bar? Im considering getting one.

 

It's not as good as my buddy's Baja Designs, but it does its job well. In order to get rid of the annoying whistle I have to have it angled down quite a bit, so it doesn't punch out as far as it is able to when I adjust it up. I have it set where it hits the ground maybe 40-50 yards in front of my truck, and it does a good job of lighting the ground up in front of me. I haven't had any of the reported condensation issues, but I do live in AZ.

PS. I got the light bar brand new in box from a Tundra driver on facebook marketplace for $50. That included the switch and the wiring harness. For that price it rocks!

 

Built a Lego Postcard-inspired version of my taco today. I love it!

 

truck looks like the Tesla truck

 

Let's see a better one. Its hard to build at that scale.

 

Went kayaking today with my Boy Scout troop. We camped at a beautiful SRP facility. That's my dad's F-350 with his Flippac Camper on it in the background.



Also went Off-Roading with my little brother for a little bit.

 

Installed an ironman 4x4 9,500 lb winch yesterday afternoon. My buddy helped me with the heavy lifting and the wiring up of the winch, since I am not as experienced as he is. Ignore the badlands fairlead, I'm hoping to replace it with an ironman 4x4 one soon.

 

I have a problem with installing mods on a dirty truck. Put this AVS Bugdeflector that I got from @JoshS

 

A rare sighting of my truck clean! All freshly washed up for the forecasted rain tomorrow.

 

Had a fun trip over spring break. Got stuck in the snow again, and went to the Petrified National Forest.

 

Biggest single purchase yet for my Taco. Icon 2.5 extended travel coilovers, Bilstein B8 UCAs and Icon 3 leaf progressive add a leafs. Install should hopefully be soon!

 

Big changes are happening to my truck! No pics yet, but bestop supertop was removed and sold for a profit, and the bug deflector was removed. Roof light bar may be taken off, as I have a Diode Dynamics Stage Series 18" Amber light bar for my bumper on its way, and if it is good enough, hopefully I wont need the roof bar. Firestik CB antenna was relocated to my Total Chaos bed stiffener instead of the Cali-raised bracket, and the bracket was removed. May also be putting some amber pods on the bed rail near the cab as chase lights/reverse lights. Lift will hopefully be going on this weekend!

Also, I've never had my bed open before, either tonneau or the supertop, and this is the first time. I freaking love it! My truck feels more like a truck than ever before.

 

140,000 mile tire rotation and oil change today, plus a fresh wash!

 

Installed my lift today with my dad. Icon 2.5 Coilovers, Bilstein UCAs, and 3rd gen leaf springs with Icon 3 leaf add a leaf.

Hands down the best money I have spent on my truck! The ride is so smooth and controlled.

 

Installed some chase/reverse lights today on the rear bedrail.





Had my helper underneath the truck with me.
