I should be getting out and about here sooner or later. The A/C in my Tacoma just recently took a shit to the tune of almost 2 GRAND. Kinda put a hamper on a couple of things for a bit.
Probably going to bypass putting the carpet in unless its too noisy in the cab. I found a set of 85 seats with the SR5 fabric that I need to pick up along with the wheels that Drew picked up for me. Just tires, driveshaft and reassemble the interior after that.

Made a little progress last night.
I wanted to make sure that everything was good and dry before I reinstalled the trim, interior, seats and radio. After a week I guess it is dry enough
The main reason I wanted to do it was to measure for the console that i want to pick up. It looks like it might just fit. I have 30 inches from the shifter cover to the rear of the cab and almost 9 inches acrosss the tranny tunnel between the seat belt latches. The console is 12 or 13 inches tall, so it is about the perfect dimension.
I also put a fresh coat of paint on my sliders to cover up some gouges from Gilmer. They dont look half bad painted. I cant wait to get my new ones on though.

Did a little work this weekend. Started installing my hand throttle which is a little more of a chore than I really wanted to get into...got started nonetheless. Basically got the cable and linkage fished throught the tranny tunnel and into the engine bay. Should have a newer look by the end of the week......

Its a kit, though not specific to my truck and will try to make it work. It is the Teraflex hand throttle kit.

Thats the favorite thing I like about my rig, the hand throttle.. it makes life 10x easier on the trails. Mine looks like a BMX bike brake lever and cable. Just FYI. Not sure what it really is though.

I found out it was going to be a necessity after wheeling it at Gilmer in Jan. Just not enough feet for the accelerator, clutch and brake pedals.

No more second gear assualts in the hill next to camp right
Next best thing is copious use of the e-brake

I still think that it was you who jinxed me on that trail, Randy....
