I’m Ben. Located in rural King county Washington. I’m a technician by trade, but also a jack of all trades. My rig is a 2019 Tacoma. Mods are, lift, +1 in tire size, canopy, home built drawer system, some lights and other minor things. Pics to come soon as will mods. Experience, spent a lot of time sleeping in hmmwv’s years ago when I was active duty. I’m not a novice but always looking for new tips and tricks. I’ve done lots of camping and hiking too. I’m a very outdoors type of person. Reason for joining. My kid is graduating soon and this is a milestone for me. Now I can spend some time doing things I’d like to do.
