    2004 Tacoma Double Cab Trd 4wd
    OME Heavy lift, 285 ST Maxx on FJ Steelies, AT Habitat
    We picked up our 2004 Tacoma double cab TRD 4wd about 1-1/2 months ago. My wife and I do a lot of Solo camping/exploring. Our last vehicle was a JKU Rubicon. We loved the capability of the Jeep but we got tired of the lack of space, poor handling with the rooftop tent, and difficulty of closing the tent. So, we stripped everything we could off the JK, sold it, and found ourselves a good deal on a 1st gen Tacoma.

    The truck was bone stock when we bought it. While working on preparing our house for and getting it sold and getting ready to move to 40 acres off-grid in the middle of nowhere I've somehow found time to install the following: AT Habitat, Old Man Emu Heavy lift with full length AAL, 255/80r17 Cooper S/T Maxx tires (carry over from the JK) on Amazon FJ steelies, Genesis Dual PC1500 house battery system in the bed (carry over from JK modified for Tacoma), another PC1500 battery in new mount under the hood for starting duty (stolen from my FJ project), AT fridge combo slide & ARB 50qt fridge/freezer (carry over from JK), and an AT JK Stage 1 Storage Drawer (carry over from JK modified to fit Tacoma). This is my third Tacoma and fourth Toyota pickup. My last Tacoma was a 2001 double cab, I was active with the Arizona chapter of TTORA at the time. I enjoyed the Jeeps, but I have really been loving driving this truck and am glad to be back in a Toyota after 16 years away. Well, I do have the FJ but that's another story.
