Badass Brunette Tacoma - Build & Adventures

Also the camping has changed remarkably in three years.
From not knowing a single truck friend and camping all by my lonesome with a chair, a fire and the bed of my truck to two week expeditions through Canada and now having truck friends all over the world - from Scotland and Australia to nearly every state in the U.S.. It's been such a fun experience so far and I'm very grateful every day for it.

 

@cwhet10, from reading your thread, you do most of your own mods, but if you have to take it to a 4x4 shop, where do you take it? Trying to find a local 4x4 shop that knows what their doing. If I missed it in here somewhere, then I apologize.

BTW, clean looking Taco.

Thx,

 

Hey I'm sorry I missed this! I haven't taken it into any shop for two years but I know the guys at Midnight 4x4 take care of a lot of guys around here. AVOID FAT BOBS whatever you do!

 

Here are some missed adventures the past few months..

Camping behind Timpanogoes



Exploring Tushar Mountains






Chasing after the fall foliage in American Fork Canyon






Waking up to snow!



Little video feature of Ronan!



The first frosty, chilllllllly camping trip of the season.




Birthday weekend in Sequoia National Park.



Celebrating Halloween

 

November trip to Grand Staircase National Monument and Lake Powell. I didn't bring Ronan on this trip and rode passenger with a friend, but that meant I could fly my drone and catch all the epic footage. I'm still working on this video but it'll be an incredible one for sure.





The sunrise was SO amazing.

 

So wish I had been able to swing this trip, but such is life. Glad this weekend's excursion turned out so well...except for Alex

 

No worries. Thx for the advice. I know Midnight, so not sure why I didn’t think of them.

Great pics!

 

Oh this wasn't that trip. This one was actually 3 weeks ago. (We went to down to the Grand Staircase twice within 3 weeks!)

I have yet to post this last weekends shenanigans - complete with video of the attempts to fix Alex's driveshaft on the highway shoulder. Best Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had though. You definitely missed out on a good weekend.

 

Oh I was there. That turkey was damn good!

I meant the Bryce-Lake Powell trip

 

HAHAHA oh duh its you!! I clearly didn't connect the dots on that one. But yeah the Bryce-Powell trip was a really good one. First single digit temp morning of the year when we camped outside of Bryce Canyon. That was pretty damn cold!

 

Got all my HAM stuff coming in tomorrow and Friday. Now I won't have to use a whiteboard while convoying with y'all!

 

Hell yeah! Or wonder why we are suddenly pulling off on the freeway

So my electrical guy lives in Provo and he will be fixing a few things on my truck in the next week or so. Maybe that same time I can swing by for them raptor lights!

 

Incredible photos. Did you ever get lockers?

 

Sounds like a plan! I'll put an order in for the LEDs right now.

 

For Wheel Wendesday, how about I finally show off the newest addition to the build.

@SCSPerformance 17" Ray 10s - Brushed Copper.




I go back and forth on them. I was after the Bronze color, which I knew I would love. These are an interesting color because in some lights they're gold, sometimes they're copper, sometimes they look bronze. I'll roll with them for a little while and maybe they'll grow on me.

 

Awesome! Thanks again for offering to do that.

 

They looked sweet this weekend! #dudemagnet!

 

"Nice Subaru STI, brah!"

 

Lights got ordered. Should be here Saturday or Monday.
