Yeah!!! I have a few runs planned. March 13 a guy i know is having a free for all at his 300 acre lot thats been turned in to a wheelers dream. 2nd week in july is a camping trip i do every year. A few local guys and i all SAS'ed did duals and lockers and stuff so were all going to start running easier trails to get used to the trucks. Should be starting this coming weekend if i can get my plates on before then.

Thanks guys. I still have wiring in the bay to button up and figure out what to do with the evap box. I never planned on running it but im told i cant get rid of it with out a CEL so im going to try bypassing it and if i get a CEL i will just make a bracket for it. I have interior stuff to finish up like kick pannels cause the dash wont allow for the 87 ones or the tacoma ones so im going to be glassing some. The door pannels are my old ones thrown in for now. I will be spending a weekend in my buddys wood shop making a set of new ones with speaker pods because the new doors are full window doors and the magnets on the speakers wont clear the window. Lots of little stupid projects left.

Thanks but with the bed smashed up and a tailgate thats not painted yet i dont think id do well at all. Im going to swap fuel pumps out today after work and now that i have the regulators figured out i will put the door windows in. I finished putting brackets in the corners of the dash so its finished, seats will be figured out tonight or tomorrow and plates tomorrow...Going to start driving it to brake it in.

Thanks guys...After the dent is fixed im going to be adding a rear bumper that protects the bed sides. I have a front one in the works again i just need to take the truck up to be measured cause im picky. Im adding a tire carrier....I also sold my topper and am going to be getting a can back/soft toppper for the truck. Im going to work on it all day today and with any luck drive it home tonight. It needs door glass, fuel pump swap, wipers wired up and the fluids topped off again....Empty everything seems to be a pain in the butt to bleed.

So what are you and Troy doing on it today? Oh and PS, Daryl's can back is all faded and destroyed (The pics he has were old) So I wouldn't try and buy that one.

Thanks for the heads up Molly, If its cheap and he wants to unload it i will still grab it to get something over the bed. My standard cab is small for me and my Gym bag alone.

Im driving her as my daily while its snowy out now. The truck does amazing in the snow and i cant be more pleased. The only thing it its much rougher ride then i remember my IFS set up to be so its going to take a bit of adjusting. Now i just need to get to a trail so i can with the race on CoTTora.
