    I'm getting ready to head down into Africa for a couple years living on the edge of the Sahara, I've heard rumors of a little fun for trucks down there so I'm taking my Tacoma with me..... Any suggestions on mods and improvements I should look at prior to taking this thing down into the desert? Pretty sure once I get there, unless its small I'm not going to be able to do much to the truck due to shipping.
