Current looks (26JUN16):
Picked her up in mid-April. Grew up driving a Tacoma and a couple Siennas, as well as learned stick on an FJ Cruiser, so I felt like it was time to return to the Toyota family. After a brief stint in a LX470, wanted something a little more modern for my DD. Wanted a mostly trail ready vehicle, but knew I would spend most of my time on the road, so ended up with a '16 Classic Silver Trail Edition Premium with KDSS.
Named Tuesday, as I name all of my vehicles with questionable names.
For reference: The (stock Moab) '13 Wrangler Unlimited I had was named Wendi...she liked to take her top off.
Don't have an obligatory stock photo...whoops.
Closest I have is 246 miles on the clock when she got new shoes.
New to the off-road/overlanding scene, coming from the muscle car life.
Mild build thread, not going too crazy...yet.
Current Mods (in order of install):
Waiting for Install
On Order
Recovery/Misc Gear - Any additional recommendations on the needs/nice to have would be welcome!
Thinking about...
Slow build for the sake of my wallet, but will update with mods and adventures.
Please excuse any redundancies, as this is a crosspost.
