Underdog777's '88 4x4 build

Forgot to post these up. Took duplicolor kevlar bedliner to the whole truck. It called for a light scuffing but said eff that and hit it with 400 grit sand paper all the way around. These pictures are with one coat final product has three and came out awesome.

 

Are those 1st gen bedsides??

 

Not sure. They came with the truck. I honestly haven't tried to compare them to see who makes em.

 

I would say they look a lot like my Hanneman 1st gen bedsides

 

Let me know if you wanna sell them

 

Tempting inquiry. I'm gonna start contemplating the flat bed look/function

 

Well I need some bedsides...... Let me know! Flat bed would be badass

 

So a finance issue with the Army caught up to me today. I have to pay back a sizable amount of money. This has caused a HUGE change of plans so this project is going to go on the back burner.

 

That issue finally came around?? Damn dude. I'm sorry.

 

Updates Matt?

 

subbed

 

Yes. Indeed. For the sake of getting this rig home, I rebuilt the front end. In the interest of having more cash to be financially secure after the Army, I sold the front axle parts. The truck is solid for the exception that the exhaust broke in half on my way home from California. I didn't realize how dependent the 22RE was on back pressure until the moment it snapped. So for now it sits and waits for monies.

Thanks again man.

 

sub'd if you are doing the flat bed ill take bedsides

 

Time and acquisition of tools will tell the tale. I'm still considering the idea but projects are kind of on the back burner.

 

I watched my 88 Pickup drive off with its new owner yesterday. It's the first time I saw it driving down the street and at that moment realized just how cool it looked in motion. I feel good though because it went to a young man with plenty of time to build it, and no bills to hold him back. The time has come to focus all efforts and what little spare time I have towards the Tacoma and finish my vision for it. Thank you everyone that contributed your thoughts for this truck, I am sure the new owner may turn here for the same support. /rant and build thread.

 

awww. sad to see it go but good to see it open other doors for the Taco

 

Fo sheezy! All these benjamin's are burning a hole in my safe.

 

lets spend em!!!

 

I'm going to try to talk him into bringing it out to the bachelor party.. now that he knows how to drive a stick its time to get him out in the desert
