Re: Dirty Tijuana bible build

Love the thread title, and the inspiration is from what was found in the glovebox, if you know your "adolescent literature".

Great build so far...

The title helps the build stand out when Im scrolling. Looks like you started with an awesome truck and is going to be super fun to cruise.

Re: Dirty Tijuana bible build

Cool build so far. Up here if you found a truck in that state it would have no floor and most likely the frame would be shot. Truck is going to be cool.

I really like the stance on the stepside. Do you have plans to make it your daily driver?

Re: Dirty Tijuana bible build

daily driver .. just the sound of having to drive everyday sounds horrible to me , no offense . but if your asking if i am going to keep it yes for sure , the truck is from this area and i just think its really cool and want to make something exactly how i want it .. i am going to try and make this truck more for the passenger , than the driver . like in say the army the person sittin in passenger / tc truck commander side is the higher ranking , and i can safley drink from that side to . my wife will be my driver , and i will have all the controls .. hahaha
