    2018 Quicksilver Tacoma TRD Offroad
    Hey everyone,

    I'm a recent graduate and I now work as a Merchant Mariner Engineer. This is my first new vehicle purchase ever. It is a 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad in Quicksilver Metallic. I've dreamed of having a Tacoma for a long time but have been burdened by used cheap vehicles for some time. I am stoked and it is everything I wanted it to be. I have plans to build it up but I am inexperienced with building overland rigs. Just gonna take some research.

    Here's to the best of days!

    Best recommendation I've got for you: figure out what you need the truck to do and build *that*.

    There's tons of "overland" rigs kitted out with stuff that never gets used or could be replaced with something less trendy for much cheaper. Dont get caught up in the instastorm.

    Welcome to the ride!
