My Rig / Adventure thread

wuddup everyone first time joining tacomworld. hope to learn some cool new stuff and share my progress in building my truck to my needs when im out camping / offroading. also enjoy seeing everyones trip reports and seeing how much is out there. so heres my progress so far! from the first day i got it. in its full stockness.
insta @victorbeltran2492 go follow!




i really didnt like the front grill, got my knock off one from motorgenic and replaced it quick.




i started looking for some wheels and got a sweet deal from one of my local toyota dealers for the trd pro 4runner wheels in black.




i was going to slap them on the next day , except i changed my mind and went another direction.




i was looking for some tires to run for a bit until i could get my lift, so i got 5 ko2 tires at 90% tread still on them. for 500$ went with 265/70/17 have no complaints about them yet. theyve done great so far




most people dont like the white letter out but. eh i like it

i was lookin around for some good companies that made armor and came across victory4x4 and decided to try them out. hadnt seen too many reviews but none the less got their sliders.




they were a bit heavy but so far i loved the way they looked.

holy jim is cool when muddy. other then that its ... closed still.



i really wanted to camp and be able to take my wife, (her not being very fond of ground camping) i decided to invest in a bed rack system. and being that i was already pleased with my sliders, decided to go with victory4x4 again. they have a modular mid bed rack. so i ordered it and waited for it to arrive.



in the meantime, i visited joshua tree and was camping using a budget camp setup on my truck bed. with an inflatable matress. it was nice but the mattress wasn't very comfortable.




i visited maple springs road up to the main divide, trail is super fun.

 

Nice truck. Starting off on the right track with the official tire and wheel of TW

 

@El Duderino

 

Welcome to TW... Nice looking ride!!

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld!

 

nice truck man! welcome to TW!

 

MONEY PIT! nice rig!

 

Please don't do that.... Now i'm tempted

 

Welcome to TW

 

Thanks for the welcome guys, lot of progress has been made which ill update later today !

 

i got my bed rack and slapped it on. i knew i was still waiting for a few things to arrive but w.e victory4x4 also makes a bike rack setup to mount to their modular rack. got rid of my t2 thule setup at my hitch.







i visited big bear and messed around some trails near skyline.





i had been searching around for a good roof top tent, looked into cvt, tepui, free spirit, smittybuilt, and them came across roam. i think to me in my own opinion a company that appreciates your business and is willing to work with you on a reasonable price based on quality is key to making a purchase. but thats just me. i got a vagabond rtt with an anexx room, bigger then and more affordable than the rest of the tents i saw.



i mounted it on my bed rack and planned a trip to the forest, i hit up mt baldy, then went up to crystal lake.




i also added some lights from oedro lighting. round small pods for 25$! harness from Amazon at 11$ very bright and well made. got a discount from them too



not very long after i visited anza borrego and camped out in fish crrek campground next to split mountain area.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Great shots! Mind if I snag a few to use for outros on Youtube?

 

Truck is looking good! Making me want to hurry up and get new wheels and tires on mine.

 

@boogie3478 yeah no prob man

 

Thank you, took me a minute to get my wheels but finally did it

 

Thanks! I'll tag you when I upload the vid with one of your pics featured.

 

wuttup yall, not much of a build update, but of my adventure log i guess. anywayyy Got a new doggo, "Onyx", already peed in my tent so... yeah , other than that got some sweet new roam gear. worth the investment. made the clutter in my rear seats and bed so much better, planning on getting some more for some of my extra camping equipment





went up to big bear and camped out at coon creek yellow post site, nice and quiet and isolated. found at night when the temp dropped too low for my comfort that i needed a heater.



the following week i went up to yosemite, i never get tired of seeing this place





on our way back home we decided to visit pismo beach and camp right next to the ocean. not too bad for 10 bucks i guess
