Our '87 4R SR5 Honduras Coffee/Missions Rig Build...

[The Jade Bean]

Been really busy with trying to get things prepped for HND. Bought a "new" second car for long and comfortable travel.
Gutting the white 4R so I can scrap the shell.

Vacuum sealed for later rebuild!

The vacuum sealing and packing of spare parts has begun!

 

[Ctenosaurian]

That is going to be a nice stash of spares, good call on the vacuum sealing you wouldn't want to end up needing something and having that Honduran humidity ruin it!

GONE!!!!!!

Those wheels are getting harder to find. Not scrapping those are you?

What's left is going to Mexico.

Well did tune up today and I think I discovered a crack in the head.

Also put all the mud flaps on and they turned out great! I had to modify a support as the front flaps were leaning in and rubbing on the tire.

Put some new blades and wiper arms on Pepe!

 

[The Jade Bean]

Installing a stereo finally. Been a pain so far, but I'm happy with the way it's turning out. Gonna try to sell the working oem one on eBay to help pay for everything. Not sure if they are worth much.

Lol at you blocking out the plate in one pic, but not the pic directly above it. C'mon Daniel! I think you need some coffee!!

Truck is looking great! Hard to tell from that pic if it is cracked. Could you feel it or no?

I know. Doh!
I think it's just from the moulding process as it's just in the middle and doesn't go to an edge.

Fire extinguisher mounted! It's not as close to my head as it looks. I wrapped the ss clamps with a rubber hose and it was a pain! Previously installed 6 hand grips in the rear.

 

[The Jade Bean]

It's ALIVE!

I know you say that fire extinguisher is well behind your head, but there is still no way in hell I'd put that there. It will be very ironic when you get killed by a flying projectile in a simple accident, especially when the projectile is a supposed to be a safety item. I would not trust those hardware store hose clamps.

My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Mine is attached to the rib in the floor under the driver's seat. I'll try to remember to take a photo.

I hear ya and it's a good point. Maybe I'll move it at some point down the line.
Right now I can't think of anywhere to put it that gives quick access and isn't in the way.
