You got it brother. While not all my vehicles have names based on literature I also use to have had a quick candy red Buick Regal T-Type that was named Red Sonya ie of Robert E. Howard’s novels.
Today the Mouser is 8 years old, from wife’s daily ride to my adventure truck. He’ a good truck and the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. 110,000 miles of dead nuts reliability.
My old Tundra rims off Fafhrd are starting to show their age. Yellowing spots and corrosion on the edges are appearing. Thinking about getting them stripped and re-powdercoated, but I need a set of rims to run on the truck while they’re off getting refurbished. Holy crap do people want a ton for a set of used rims these days, even more for ones with the right offsets. Screw it, I went and bought a set of new rims on a half off sale during the holiday. Between that and a discount code I got a set of new rims for the same price or less than what these numbskulls want for their takeoffs.
So the Mouser will be sporting a new Taco Bro look wiith these Fifteen 52 Metrics in 17x8.5” (0 offset). Than these rims will go on Tanner once I get the factory Tundra rims done up. Need to decide if I’m going to stay with the factory silver finish or go with a darker gunmetal tone.
Finally got some time to pull the Mouser out of storage and get all the gear loaded back up. Everything stored well and looks great. Now if it will stop raining, quit being gloomy and chilly we might go out camping. Yuck to wet cold days, I’d rather have snow and chiller weather. I’m ready for Spring…
Man, not much is happening with the camping truck this year. Elderly family health matters are keeping us close to home, so we have decided to forgo any big trips no matter how much we want to go. Instead we have been doing some quick overnights to satisfy the outdoor itch and get out. Also I have pretty much the whole thing dialed, and don’t need to mod anything. So….Tanner? No that Tacoma will stay stock…I mean it…really….
A few pics out and about…
Set up in the field at the farm for that eclipse. The clouds would clear 15 minutes before the event, thank goodness.
Spent last weekend plus a few extra days wandering around the northwest portion of Michigan’s Mitten. From Muskegon to Glen Arbor we mucked around the coastline of Lake Michigan, hiking, driving some forest roads, beaching and enjoying perfect September weather. It was our first time here and we loved it.
