Willman's 2001 Tacoma

[Willman]

^^^You guys rock!!!!!!

It was fun having Riley drive!...Wish i took a shot of that! Dad of the Year!!!


Here are a few shots of the 60 L!!

My slide is my carpet...The foam on the bottom does the trick....works great!....Even hold my fridge inplace for the most part! I try to put sleeping bags and soft stuff around to keep it from really going anywhere on the trail under spirited driving. A metal slide like this one some day!..And a bag for it too!

Here are a few shots from past trips....Enjoy!

Sweet Tacoma and fast driver...

Here's to another uber cool Tacoma, great guy and fast driver too. Should have seen him rip it up at ET07!

Bravo and glad you can just enjoy it now.

Ham Install!

I just got a Yaesu 7800R with the extension kit, speaker and Larsen antenna

I just made a custom mount to hold it in place......I'm testing out some velcro it see how it holds......I might have to bolt down the mount.....I'm trying to not drill any holes....Time will tell on this one.

So far i can hear other traffic very well.....

Overall.....very happy with the outcome......might have to play with my mount a little so it is more stable.

Looks great- cool mounting location of the unit too! Make sure to get a mic mount on there soon, or at least don't hang it by the cord.

You've got a very sharp ride there. As for the velcro, I always had problems in the summer with adhesive melting and causing the unit to slide. I too wanted to avoid drilling but in the end.......

 

[Photog]

The cheap velcro has cheap adhesive also. I always had problems with that stuff too. Recently, I have been using industrial (heavy duty) velcro, and the adhesive has held up to the summer heat.

Nic, absolutely love your truck. You have one of the best rigs I've EVER seen. I hope one day to actually see it in person!!! I've been following your build for a long time. Thank-you for sharing your build to help inspire the design my Tacoma! :sombrero:

Good question......I spent the winter fixing up my new trailer...I did some mods to the Tacoma:

[*]Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller for the trailer

Do you have a write up for the brake controller and any pictures of the wiring during the install?

Tailgate Seal?

Nic,

Have you replaced your tailgate seal yet? I'm looking for something to put on my '04 Tacoma. It looks like the only thing out there is the Cabela's or similar kit. They seem to have mixed reviews. I'm curious if anyone has tried something else with more success.

Thanks,

NotAMog

Still have the same seal.....It does better then nothing there for sure. I like it but sure not 100% dust/water proof.

Still going strong!

Tundra Brakes!!!

I got them off Autozone.com.......Cost was around $350 plus i got free shipping and a $60 gift card for ordering on line and shipping it.....Not a bad deal!

Here is the thread i used...very helpful.....but lacking pictures.....

All painted up!

Bigger by an inch and thicker by 3/8" plus...

Drilling the banjo bolt.....Bore it out them take a 1/2" drill bit to cone it out until you hit the threads.....

Tundra Brakes Installed...

100% better.....I can lock them up now! Very happy and worth the money!



I have been very busy the past few months.....

• Tundra brakes
• Nitro 4.88 Gears
• TruSpeed speedo calibrator

New rims are next......Trying to find a good match without all the bling.....
