Took up my entire three day weekend, but it's all finished up! Added some plastic push in caps to the ends of the box tube on the canopy. Just rattle canned the paint for the canopy, will be easy to touch up and next summer I'm planning on using ACM to hardside it and make it more of a proper...

Thanks! I think I would get the equipment to spray this on if I ever do it again. It's turning into a marathon of a weekend to finish. Got the second coat on the main part of the bed. Back third of the bed has its first coat and is bolted back on. A lot happier with how this is looking after a...

Prepped and got the first coat of bed liner on the bed today. It's fairly cold and dry and I'm a little concerned about it curing properly. First coat is still pretty wet and tacky after 3 hours, wish I had a way to heat the garage. Hoping it's good to go for a second coat in the morning...

Cheers to a speedy recovery @jembourbe 🍻 Hit my goal of 3k miles this year today. Rainy ride to drop off my ballot and grab a frozen pizza.

I would definitely be curious if the upper control arm from a Hilux, 4runner/surf, or t100 would be able to be swapped out. Being able to do a small ball joint spacer would be huge to get some bigger tires under the truck.

Unfortunately not. It is also a torsion bar setup but the control arms are different. Limits the amount of lift you can do, to just cranking up the torsion bars.

Wanted something with a little offset and wider than the stock steel wheels. Was also too much red for my taste. If I could afford to get the truck painted, I probably would 😝. Not really tied to keeping it a "firetruck", was more interested in starting a build with a truck from the 90s that...

Finally got the bedsides skinned, was hoping to be able to paint the bed and canopy frame this weekend too, but it's raining and forecasted to continue all weekend. Fingers crossed that I'll catch a good weekend window to finish before the winter really kicks into gear. It sure ain't perfect...

Love seeing everyone gettin out! Snuck in a SS rip right before sunset. Got some rain the other day that made for great conditions on the local "outlaw" trails. Checked out some forest thinning operations where all my backyard trails start, hasn't impacted any trails yet but I'm hoping it opens...

Looks like a nice place for a ride!Does that bike have some sort of suspension contraption going on with the seat tube?

Been a little bit since I've taken the singlespeed out for a rip. 13.5 miles +2200'. Trails are mega dusty, hoping the forecast sticks and we get some rain next week

Now that's one good looking bike!

No shame in this day and age in having a Prius! Now if you were in a Tesla, then we'd be talking some s***... 😂 Jealous you're headed to Flag, Miss living there quite often!

I love it for exactly those reasons. I have a b17 on one of my other bikes and it might be slightly more comfortable, but I've put thousands of miles and plenty of 8-10hr days on the carved c17 and it's been fantastic.

Picked up some stuff from the post office for my 4th gen Rav4 100,000 mile service, and took the dirt home
