    @KingRob I was eyeing your ride. My brother and I had dropped in to pick him up a fishing license. We go up towards Obids pretty regularly.

    @Z50king I've never weighed it, but likely over the 1100 when fully loaded with supplies.

    @Toyota Kawasaki so far its good, no issues.

    Love your setup, totally awesome. What rack is over the bed and soft topper? I really like that setup and the flexibility that would give.

    The truck works great for it's other purpose, camping. We carry our food/supplies in totes that go under our storage platform in the
    bed, beside the ARB 63qt fridge. The ARB Simpson III had done well for us in wind, rain, and hailstorms, and the ARB awning
    on the rear comes in really handy for prepping and cooking meals. Whether at a campground or in the wilderness, the Tacoma affords
    us to bring the necessities and extra comforts as well.

    If you live on the East Coast, and can't make it out West for any of the big events, one to check out is:
    http://appalachiantoyotaroundup.org/

    It takes place in Windrock Park of Tennessee http://www.windrockpark.com/ ,
    just north of Knoxsville, on each Labor Day weekend. There are over 300 miles of trails, that range from gravel roads,
    to insane, and tons inbetween. 2016 was their 2nd year, and there were almost 200 Toyotas signed up.
    The cool vehicles, combined with the trails, raffles, and vendors make for a fun event.

    Here is a 17' we fixed up to take to the event.
