mexican blankets

If you are going all the way to TJ, why not spend the extra $25 and get the full Toucas y Rollas interior done on your ride?

 

I always have the guys that go to Mexico during Christmas bring me acouple back. I'm ready to ditch mine and head to TJ and get my tuck n roll done. They were only supposed to be temporary!

 

best answer EVER!

 

got mine in Mexico on my honeymoon, used it up/rips and last year we were in Disney and they had them at Epcot in the Mexico showcase.
Color better matched my car.
I like it and didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking about who else will or wont.

 

PS. true military surplus is hard to find here in Oz. They have to distroy it, nothing is (Legaly) aloud to be sold on to the public anymore.
Doc.

 

Every time I think California has stupid laws, I'm glad I don't have the rules and inspections some others have. My hat is off to guys like you, Doc, for building and driving hot rods and customs in spite of the hassles.

 

Got mine in Mexico. It's got real bits of Mexicans in it. That's how you know its good.

 

do you think in Mexico, they just call them blankets?

 

I remember sitting down with a bayonett and helping to tear up a pile of Army blankets and single bed sheete that was 20 ft high and 50 ft square. Nothing wrong with them at all. I took about 20 blankets and 50 odd sheets but Im down to one blamket and about 10 sheets.

And here we call Aussy cattle dogs, a cattle dog. I hear in Brazil they only have nuts, not Brazil nuts too...
Oh, and we dont call Dingos pets, we shoot em.

 

When in Mexico, what do the American Blankets look like?

I'm going home to throw away all my American cheese.

 

Don't do that. Trade it for a Mexican blanket made in China. Then buy some Swiss Cheese and French Fries covered in Canadian Bacon while playing Russian Roulette. But don't get any Greece on your Turkey while wearing a Panama hat ESPECIALLY if you are walking around waving your Italian Sausage.

 

At last, a clear explaination of NAFTA. Thanks!

 

ha, does that also mean that 60% of the time it looks good every time?

for all of your 1/2 Mexicans, the rule is you can only have 1/2 of a Mexican blanket in your car!

 

Nice interpretation Doug.

I am gonna cover my seats with a Scottish tartan wool blanket.-Weeks

 

This got me thinking, how about large seed bags for midwestern cars?

 

Corn husks?

 

Why not save up your money and have an actual custom interior done???

 

I got mine at the local mexican grocery store,,,,,,not cheap,but nice

 

I didn't have my truck with me when we went, I was on vacation, we walked across from San Ysidro.

 

I think they are now being imported from China..

hard to get a good one i hear

 

Oh, you can always run what you like-that's like the First Rule of Hot Rods. But,honestly,it's hard to find a car now that's not MB or tweed. Seems like the MB in a car is now kinda "billet" to me.

 

Wow I didn't know there were so many deep feelings on this subject!
Mexican blankets outsourced to china.. ironic irony

You mean, even if I'm half Mexican, I can't have a Mexican blanket in my own car, because, I didn't personally go to TJ and barter for it. Jeeesh, your a tough one to please.

Your two halves would add together to make one authentic Mexican. You could share a blanket. Buy a really big one and split it.

 

Priceless!

 

A All American Quilt

 

I have always used WWII/Korean era US Army blankets. Wool and olive drab and a nice big US right in the middle. Been using them for seat covers for years.

 

Ok, but, which side does it go then? The driver's side, or passanger's side?

 

Truck stops are a great place for Mexican blankets and cool shifter knobs. I won't even mention the "Lot Lizards".
