Is this the CRAZIEST car collection in the world?

I recently visited the Automotive Museum of Malaga, and it blew my mind! This isn't just a museum; it’s a mix of Art, History, and total WTF moments!

From a car with actual horse legs to the iconic ride from the movie Titanic, I’ve never seen anything like this. Plus, the collection of Rolls-Royce, Bugatti, and Ferrari is absolutely breathtaking.

If you love cars, fashion, or just unique travel spots, you HAVE to see the full tour! 👇

Can you believe someone could wait 21 months for a new truck and still not have it?

My Chevrolet Silverado High Country ordering experience has been a total nightmare. After ordering back in February 2022, 2023 has come and gone, and I’m still truck-less! To make matters worse, Chevrolet told me they aren't even making my chosen color anymore.

During this long wait, my old Toyota has been my only reliable ride. Watch the full story of my battle with the modern car market and why I'm still driving my "beater" truck! 👇

Can a 2005 Tacoma feel like a 2024?
Most people say installing an Android head unit is "Plug and Play," but let me tell you—it’s NOT that simple! 🛠️

In S4E8 of the Tacoma Budget Build, I’m installing a massive 11-inch Joying Head Unit and a Backup Camera in the old Taco. From using pop rivets to get the brackets to line up, to finding the hidden reverse trigger wire, this was one heck of a project!

Why you should watch the full video: ✅ The Big Screen: See how that 11” tablet looks in a 2005 dash.
✅ Sound Quality: We added Rockford Fosgate 6x9s behind the seats.
✅ Real Talk: I show you the mounting struggles that other "pro" videos skip.
✅ Safety Upgrade: Adding a backup camera to a base model truck.

It took 3 days and some "not-so-rookie" moves, but the result is incredible. Is a $600 tech upgrade worth it for an old truck? Watch and find out!

Is your Tacoma looking a little "tucked in"? Let’s fix that! 🚜
In today's Tacoma Budget Build, we’re installing Amazon 1.25” Wheel Spacers to give the truck a broader, more aggressive stance.

Why watch?

The Look: See the wheels go from tucked to perfectly flush with the flares.

It’s an affordable $90 upgrade that makes a massive difference in stability and style.

Post Title: The $90 Secret to Fireproofing My 1st Gen Toyota Tacoma!
Hey everyone! You won't believe the difference this budget mod made!

In the latest episode of our Tacoma Budget Build series, I tackle a crucial piece of armor: installing an Amazon Special Front Skid Plate on my 2005 1st Gen Tacoma!

I wasn't looking for a heavy-duty TRD Skid Plate—I was looking for a cheap, effective way to prevent grass and brush from getting sucked up under the truck, which is a real risk for undercarriage fires when off-roading!

Here's what you'll see:

The $90 Value: Is this steel plate actually worth the money?

DIY Paint Job: Giving it a durable anti-rust coating using hammered spray paint.

The Install Challenge: Watch me deal with a broken bolt and fit this bolt on skid plate right over the existing stock plate!

2005 TACOMA REBORN: OME 3" Lift Install (210k Mile Upgrade!)
After 210,000 miles, the suspension on our 1st Gen Tacoma Single Cab was completely shot! It was time for a massive overhaul.

We tackled a full Old Man Emu (OME) 3-inch Lift Kit installation, but on a truck this old, it was anything but easy!

In this video, you'll see:

Rust Wars: The struggle to remove rusty, 20-year-old bolts (and the parts we had to cut off!).

The Big Lift: How we gained nearly 4 inches of lift using the OME kit.

Frame Restoration: Treating the notorious Tacoma frame rust while the suspension was out.

If you are thinking about an Overland Build on an older truck, you need to watch this first!
