I used to considered myself a GM guy, but my list is dominated by Toyotas. When it came time for a new truck, I chose a Tundra even after considering and driving all the full size trucks at the time. 84 Toyota Pickup - single cab, long bed, manual tans, windows, and steering. This truck made...

Weld it in. Mine from TC has been welded in for longer than the 9 years I’ve owned the truck and have never had an issue.

I’m 6’2” and used to weigh 270 lbs about 20 years ago, never having seen the inside of a gym. I was a fat fuck to my core, eating out sometimes twice a day (so I was also broke). When I decided to get my shit together, I started eating those lean frozen meals full of bullshit, but low on...

Yes it’s prorated, I just did it with a battery for my other truck. Just after the one year mark was $40, a far cry from buying a new one and cheap insurance.

I’m going with a Costco AGM. $200-ish and plan to warranty it every other year for peace of mind. I’ve been running a Costco lead acid for years on the desert truck with zero issues.

The Desert Truck: New steering rack, power steering pump, steering cooler (already purchased) TC lower uniball conversion Front end prep OE timing belt Fresh fluids, hoses, belts throughout (already purchased) New battery and BD light package (already purchased) Double din radio Possibly new...

I have a Tecoom thick shell cover on my truck and it’s awesome for the money. It was $70, fairly water proof, and easy to put on. This is my second one, with the first lasting over nearly 3 years outside. I mainly bought it to keep my paint and headlight in good shape. Zero fading of either one...

Are any of you savages civil or structural engineers? I’m hiring a field engineer position that must be based out of Phoenix, SLC, or Denver. We get access to all the tools you want and a free truck.

The truck looks awesome Jason. I wasn’t sure if you still had it.

I built it for a customer who was planning on 1450 (when it was mainly low budget guys) or class 2000. The truck left me as a roller and I haven’t seen it since.

I built a single cab Toyota Pickup years ago with an external B-pillar. Building the B-pillar itself was much easier as I fully welded it outside in the garage, but that’s the only part that was easier. Everything else was much more difficult as a result of the external pillar. The truck was...

For a play truck / family runner, I’d go mid mount. The trunk space would be more valuable than the truck handling better. You can spend time tuning the shocks and springs to make it work great, certainly far better than leaf springs ever could. I have my tool boxes inside my truck so they are...

3/4 ton LT kits.

I’d sleeve it. It’ll otherwise be difficult to get it installed without a large gap at one of the notches.

Yes sir. That’s how I am able to observe all the beauty the desert has to offer.
