    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Definitely the one I've wanted to visit most, friends and family have gone and said it so vastly different that it was just a ton of fun. Vietnam would be on the list shortly thereafter.

    Did some frame reinforcement followed by rust primer and undercoat. Definitely not my welds but they look pretty good.

    Also undercoated the "new" bed to replace the one with trail damage.

    Bought 2017 16" TRD Off-Road wheels for $400. Gonna buy some BFG KO2's couldn't resist their $100 off sale. I just bought new tires for my 15" '98 Alloy wheels last year, by my Tundra brake calipers won't fit under them so I needed to step up to 16"

    Here's how it'll look once with manual hubs once I finish my 4x4 conversion.

    Looks great, thinking about taking my bed off and undercoating today, what'd you use? POR? Last seasons POR is already peeling in some spots on my frame so Im wondering if theres a better way to prep it, maybe Ill just prime it first like you did.

    Is your housing fogged up? Or is it just the picture & the way the sun is hitting it?
