Papa and I would for sure be down for an off weekend dune run. But I know thats not really anyone on here's 'forte' (i think thats the word I'd use here/what I'd say?)...........

1. Get my 1 Tons into the 4runner
2. Get something for a stock mobber, like a ranger or something. The current rig is a little too extreme and rough for the missus.
3. Finally make a rubicon trip happen. I always end up with the truck torn down by the time that season rolls around

Welp, updates on these for the 9 month mark,
1. 1Ton swap is about 50% done with the 4Runner, not enough progress or buckling down on it yet, but really I think I only have like 3 or 4 more solid weekends before it’s good to go. I should be ready for Thanksgiving, New years, and KOH this season
2. No longer have a wife so no need for a more comfortable wheeler, lol.
3. Rubicon probably not happening this year but you never know I guess, there’s always next year!

Well shit - I got very little done. I’m still getting the new house dialed in, so not sure what else will get done this year.

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 dash and cut out the windshield tubes
  • Possibly cut off the down tubes to the bed cage to reduce bypass noise in the cab
  • Inland Driveline carrier bearing to replaced the noisy as fuck Bruno unit (already purchased)
  • New PRP GT3 mini seats for the rear, converting my truck to a 4 seater so both of my yutes can ride in the truck (already purchased)
  • Cab cage change up to suit new seating setup
  • Get the truck out at least once before summer
The 2014 Tundra:
  • OE TRD Pro headlights (already purchased)
  • BD fog lights (already purchased)
  • Auto up/down window switches (already purchased)
  • Stretch goal - 2650 Maggie
  • Possibly TRD Pro grille
  • Possibly more shit as I crawl the Tundra.com forums
The V:
  • Install race bushings throughout
  • Install WXM HX and big pump
  • Install diff cooler
  • Stop being a pussy and pull the trigger on E85, pulleys, port the blower and heads, choppy cam, etc. and let her eat

2026 Let's fucking goooooo!

E
 
2025:
almost get banned from the only truck forum left for me in my life = ✅✅✅

eventually, learn to be polite and adult like on the forum and ONLY log in when i feel the need to leave a polite/encouraging/helpful posts/comments on someone's thread, then log out every time i leave the website so i get reminded to be a good boy every time i open Googs Chrizzzome = ✔️☑️✅✔️☑️✅✔️☑️✅✔️☑️✅


2026 = CONTINUE BEING A GOODBOY, and get the rangers motor/trans mounted & engine cage doneDONE.
 
Although I didn’t make an official list here, my goals were keep the kiddo alive, get hired teaching in a new district, and get into mtb and ride 300 miles. All are completed except I came short of 300 at 218 miles. The tail end of the wife’s pregnancy and then having a newborn made it harder than anticipated to hit the trails. Still stoked I got into it! Definitely going to keep riding. It’s s crazy how crappy I feel being off the bike for a couple weeks.

Also, being a dad is the absolute coolest.
