Picked up these 2018 Tacoma seats today. All leather and like brand new, happy boy. Now I can finish the roll cage with attaching the seat frames to it, inching away.

It is a very hard to find safari window. Factory to the Pakistani army, I was seriously looking for 3 years and was introduced to a fellow in Oregon one day and he said he would let it go wasn’t going to use it. I couldn’t get the money out of my pocket fast enough.

A little off the beaten path I have always wanted a Black Smith vice and found one at the right price. Needed some repair so Reproduce this part

Here are the parts from the 60 steering column left 2 are out of the firewall to steering wheel and the far right is firewall to steering box, and I will be replacing that with a Borginson unite that collapses for safety. Keep picking away at it...

I think it will look a bit cleaner and more finished, additionally I would have to add to the length of the 60 part. More welds more places to crack and fail.

TNX Riddler, where a bout are you located when I get to the engine and paint it will go up to Athol Idaho for the
lipstick portion and final assembly of the build late next year.
47coeman I am 15 miles south of Spokane in Freeman, WA. I haven't been able to find the guy you said can do these Mercedes diesel conversions in Athol.
I was thinking of a LS1 due to not being able to locate a diesel Mercedes like you found. Feel free to PM me. thanks
