The next time you’re in Houston, I’d like to see this truck!
It might be a few months from now, but I'll definitely let you know when I head back out that way.
 
I know what I'm doing this weekend.

You’ll get beers from the finest icehouse i know of.
 
What are you doing with your current mirrors after those are installed?

I broke the left one on my way to Houston and the right one is in bad shape as well. That's why I decided to get new ones.
 
Does that style vibrate and shake with your 4BT?
I had a crack in the left mirror since before the conversion and it vibrated the entire time. The right didn't didn't vibrate as much.
 
I think I like the new mirrors. I never really like chrome unless it's on my motorcycle, even then it's a pain in the ass to clean. For those of you who know me, I don't clean big red .

The taco just turned it's 22,222nd mile. I think it's time I start building it up.

I decided on getting an ARB bumper, winch and 4inch fox shock lift on the tacoma. The princess found out and vetoed my ideas. So I ordered new Corbeau seats for big red. I got the Moab seats with lumbar support.
Today I received this letter in the mail. Someone complained to the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality that while on my way to work Big Red was emitting smoke. I know exactly who it was as well, some old lady with a Lexus SUV. It's kinda blurry cause I'm posting from my phone but hopefully you can read it enough.

I need to get a job with TCEQ. Seems like a pretty easy gig to just send letters out stating they will do nothing.

I had to read it twice to make sure they were gonna do nothing. Killed a tree to tell me this. Environmental commission my ass.
 
Let me know if you want to give me your old seats. Didn't you get them from Mauricio?

I figured you'd want them. I was going to install them in Aurora's car, we'll see if that will work. They are really made for small framed people. I suspect that's why Mauricio didn't end up using them for long.
