I've drawn up a couple of prototypes for Rob to consider

That looks a bit chilly to me....

Well it does separate the men from the boys..... : )

Cleaning, priming and painting the ladder to match the roof rack is the next item on the list. Every step is a tiny step forward.

 

[Gun Runner 5]

What's left to do ......
Install roof rack
Re-install rear ladder
Install "period FM/AM radio" and speakers
Mount the boost gauge, pyrometer, and transmission temp. gauge
Run wire for the backup camera.
Mount Powertank .... The accessories should fit in the small storage box provided by Mr. Toyota.
Install seat covers
DRIVE HOME..... .... And personally think everyone who played a role in the project.

Alright...... we are 45 pages into a thread and we still have yet to get a full photo spread of this Rig. Stop stalling and post up some drool worthy photos.

We have been kept at bay by old brochure photos and mad Photoshop skillz.......

This week was typical for a small, one man shop ......
My wife had a small fender bender (technically a door bender) on her Mini Cooper (aka clown car). Rob dropped all of his current projects including my Cruiser, to spend a couple of days making the Mini look perfect again. My wife's happy while the important stuff (my Cruiser) is collecting dust. Guys we're getting there and hopefully I'll have something beyond file photos shortly.

I am truly BLESSED to have someone like Rob who can take my ideas and turn them into reality.

Does your wife know it cost 19 grand to fix her door?

Not yet. I haven't figured out how to tell her. : )
If I forward you her cell number, would you mind calling her? She'll believe you.

Only bad part about this truck:

It's got a s***ty automatic A440F.

Swap now while you still have time and money and you are not too old to fly an Airbus.

So Mr. Toyota sells / sold s***ty trucks?

So Mr. Toyota sells / sold s***ty trucks?

Didn't say that or go that far.

Just saying I am not a big fan of the A440F. A transmission. Not a truck.

 

[wardharris]

"a s***ty automatic 440F"

I assumed that if a truck has a s***ty transmission, it followed that the entire truck would be s***ty as a result.

Maybe I should stick to chat

I never thought I'd have the opportunity to say this but let's not derail another thread.

 

[wardharris]

Just who do you think you are, Charles?

It's been pointed out that my airbox is in a subpar condition. It's now in the "airbox hospital" and will look much improved once discharged.
