Outlaw Taco & a Heavy Chevy

Iowa Taco

4️⃣ Gold
Bought a 2018 TRD OR back in February to replace my 1998 Chevy 2500HD as my daily driver. Never heard a bad thing about Toyota and only heard bad things about the big three when I was buying, so figured I'd try out Toyota. So far I love this truck and have learned a lot from people here that used to be on the safe space.
When I bought the truck:

Decided to be a beta test for Custom Car Grilles for their 2018 grille. I like the look of the Pro grille, but everyone and his boyfriend has one.

Added some custom vinyl TRD decals

1998 Chevrolet C2500HD
Bought this 4 July 2012 from Colorado with only 85k miles. I leveled this truck and put on new rims and 33's about two years ago, I shouldn't have done this. It has a 454 with a 4L80E, my plan is to turn this into a tow rig like it should be.

I ordered a Switch Pro 9100 and decided to make the power supply mount myself. I ordered a mount for the switch itself from Mesojdm. Here is the power supply mount after first coat of paint.

I'll post the prints for this if someone wanted to make their own.

Also ended up making my own wedding ring. I don't want my fiance to spending money on some ring that I'll break or lose.

Here is the print for the mounting plate, if you print it off on 11" x 17" sheet of paper do not scale the piece and you can use it as a template. I used a jigsaw and a dremel tool to make all cuts. The numbers in blue are as follows: 9100 - Switch Pro Power Supply, 2508 - Blue Sea 8 Terminal Bar, 2300 - Blue Sea 2300 30A common bus bar.

Had to take the bed off the old heavy Chevy. What a bitch to do in the street, and by yourself. Replaced the fuel pump for the second time in three years. Definitely looking at buying, or making, a flat bed for it.
