    If your wanting a great trail rig look at rigs like sytfu510 and mrgrimm. If you want a show truck look more towards defconbrix and overkill taco on instagram

    I want a truck that's great out in the hills but also grabs some attention around town. I'm a huge hunter so home is out I. The hills for me.

    There are a few awesome looking trucks here, but try to avoid doing the same 10 mods everybody else has done the exact same way. Or you'll be here thinking you have the coolest truck in your town, along with the other 10 guys on TW in your same town with the same mods who think THEY have the coolest truck.

    enough to go over stuff
    Mine is a 2014. I like my setup. check my build

    Edit, My 2014 was my trail rig and daily driver. Then I overbuilt it down to 12 - 14 MPG. Then I had to buy a ford focus to commute in.

    Check the build thread.
    I appreciate the shoutout!
    I keep my bish clean but it's sole purpose is my trail rig. I just so happen to be fortunate enough to be able to go to a lot of events and shows to display my truck (rock and trail rashed and all lol).
