So this is my build thread. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
The goal of this truck is to be my daily driver as well as perform off of the pavement. I want a safe, reliable, fun rig that I can pile in the family and head out on an overland adventure, fishing trip, camping etc. Or meetup for day runs to wheel and BS around SoCAL.
While I appreciate, respect and admire those who cut and slash their rigs for extreme rock crawling, that isn't the idea for this truck. The attempt is being made to avoid any cutting any part of the truck (hopefully and CMC chop excluded)
Truck brand new off the lot at Temecula Toyota

More coming soon. Will be upgrading to a hard shell RTT, more armor (front and rear bumper) and some kind of roof rack. Then I think she will be done, although are they ever done?
