Been beating the Tacoma pretty good lately.  Needs a little love.


Also got this recently. 

The cab is in pretty decent shape.  Frame is completely fawked.  Major major rust everywhere, huge holes too.  The bed was a long bed From another truck that I cut shorter to fit this frame.   Maybe I’ll make a thread for this truck.  Should be pretty cool...

I lost my copilot Beau on March 15 2021, after 11 years together.  wheeling trips are a little lonely now.  I’ve been leaving his ashes at all our favourite places.  Rubicon springs and Moab are next.  When the border opens we will return and a piece of him will exist in those special places forever. 

He liked resting his head here in the 85  :therethere:






He was even at MCR18 2019!





He was very tired on the way home  :sleeping:

Hi rapier46,

Man... I am so sorry to read about your loss.

Losing a beloved pet can be as sad and painful as losing a member of your human family.

Thanks fellas.  There is no replacement for a good dog.   He was my best and truest friend.  We literally went everywhere together.  He was on almost every single wheeling trip I took.  He has more trail time than most people I know.   I can find some relief knowing I spent every minute with him I possible could.  He had one hell of a life.   Always very healthy and he did not suffer at the end.  He really had a long great life and was loved by everyone.  He’s a legend when it comes to copilots.


Here’s a couple pics of my 85 from the last two weeks.  Big snow and big rocks.

Hi Wainiha,

I'm very sorry to read about your loss.

I have two little dogs that are 12 and 15 and they are getting up there where their life span is coming to an end.

I will most likely have to put to sleep my little girl Princess this year. She is blind and deaf with multiple organs failing.  She means more to me than anything I own.

This will be a really tough year for me.

How are those Nitto's?

I have a toss up between Mud Grappler, MT trail grappler and Cooper's.

Bummer about your buddy. Ive never had pets of my own so I cant relate to what it must be like.
