Oh man, I bought two vehicles within the last year, and I haven't updated this... So here we go:

My 2017 Suzuki DR-Z400SS:
89411

I've got some Wolfman soft bags for it, and a set of dirt wheels. Currently building out a smarter tool kit, and lightening the bike of unnecessary weight. I can load it up onto my Tacoma with a MotoTote hitch carrier.

My 2003 Tacoma TRD SR5 4X4 with a 5-speed:
89412

Found this a few months ago, decent enough price, and only 133k mi. So far I've taken the Bestop, and some accessories off of CP TACO, and placed them onto this. I had rock sliders installed, and swapped out the rear suspension for OME Dakars and NitroCharger Sport shocks. Gonna do the front suspension next, also OME, with mid level springs. Only downside is that it's got a pretty crappy clear coat, resulting in a bad paint job. So I've got license plates on order: BDPNTJB.

Anyone want to buy a 2002 Tacoma PreRunner with 210k mi and a HG that's going out? haha

02 TJ Sahara 3.5” lift. Built a custom locking deck in the back, no rear seats. Trailer had a standard RTT last year. This year I have installed a 2” lift, wheel spacers, spare tire carrier and stock Jeep wheels. CVT Mt Mazama being installed in 3 weeks. Lots to come, will start a thread of the build

'13 Chevy Tahoe LT 2wd - daily driver
Fox 2.0 Coilovers
Bilstein rears
SLP TVS 1900 Blower
Trigger kit for lighting
Rear locker
33" ko2

Just did the border patrol bumper cut for more clearance and I dig it but ended up buying a bolt on ADD bumper that'll go on soon.

Aside from that I'm going to be focusing on the basics and less expensive things for now. I'm mostly a day trip type but will be camping out and going on longer trips soon with the wife.LRM_EXPORT_1015193510565351_20190326_214123340.jpeg

Nice Rubicon. Those pictures remind me of when I was driving for CFI many moons ago. Which actually stood for "Contract Freighters Inc." But our Canadian counterparts said it stood for "Canadian Freight Interceptors". I'm sorry guys. I just went where I was sent. But for a few years I was stuck on the route of the NAFTA yard in Laredo, Texas. Where it was 75 degrees in January. Hauling Mexican freight to the middle of Canada where it was 8 feet of snow and so cold my thermometer just read "You wouldn't believe it". That was fun times indeed.
