The EXPO TRON Build

So what about the rear?

 

I will assume more ADS. I'm thinking a 4.0. Should fit nicely.

 

Lol I'm sure with the first comment in his coilover post it will be ADS

 

85 Is his cruising speed on dirt

 

Yeah see... Maybe my new tires will give me a little bit of power back but until then, I can't exceed that speed unless I'm going downhill.

 

We will still have some fun running trails tho

 

Yeah. Not sure where my dad and I are camping but I'll try to meet up with you guys as much as possible. Maybe set a meeting point some day or something. I'm sure I'll see you guys in the parking lot of the expo. Just look for the runner. I'll look for the Tundra! Too many tacomas...

 

Stefen is one hell of a driver in the dirt lol

 

Sounds good! I will keep my eyes out

 

I've been slowly learning over the last year or so haha.

 

Super bummed i'm missing the expo with all of you

 

Take a bunch of pics!

 

Wow this truck is looking great! Maybe I will see it sometime around AZ.

 

Dang I missed all these comments once I left for the Expo haha sorry guys! @SixthSnail Bummed we didn't get to meet man, wasn't sure where you were at and even mistook you for somebody else at the Relentless booth

 

Here are the ADS 3.0's Installed!

 

Overland Expo West - Mormon Lake, AZ May 2016

I finally made it to the Overland Expo! It's a couple days later and I'm still trying to process everything from meeting the Expedition Overland crew to breaking Tron in with our first mudding trip I am now determined to attend every year from here on out! Sucks I didn't take too many pics at the Expo, was too busy talking with vendors and having a great time collecting ideas and drooling over all the expo rigs

I arrived the Wednesday before it all started and stayed the night with @mh.meier in Flagstaff, but woke up bright and early to drive down and check out all the vendors setting up. Here's the first pic I took in front of the Mormon Lake Lodge


Right after stopping by I headed into the woods to find @Milota95 @XPOTRPR & @Desert Drifter who camped out the first night, and later @StOrMyThEtAcO . Immediately after hitting dirt I knew it was time to try out my new 3.0s! Found mud instead...



Posing next to Josh @XPOTRPR




Headed out again to find an official camp






Just before we got back to Mormon Lake we thought the Pelfreys were coming up from behind us


Turns out it was the guys at Team Overland from Oregon rolling in to set up. They were really cool guys and immediately started handing out stickers and talking about how nice it was to see us driving around and exploring. Their TRD Pro T4R is currently the only other white T4R with Pelfreybilt's new plate bumper other than Satin herself


Since we couldn't get into the Expo a day early we sat out front and watched all the badass rigs drive in, EarthRoamers, Unimogs, and so on....I just lost motor function to pull out a camera.... We ended up finding a nice camp with tons of trees later on, then Cliff from @SDHQ OFFROAD showed up to hang with us for ahwile

 

Overland Expo West - Continued...

I didn't plan on going the first day, but I'm really glad I did! 1 day is simply not enough to take in everything there. As soon as we arrived I kinda went straight for Expedition Overland's new 2016 Tacoma


It was pretty cool getting to meet and talk with Jeff. I recently got my dad hooked on their show so I made sure to snap a pic for him. Really down to Earth people and sure enough Jeff actually recognized Rinzler while I was showing him pictures of Tron on my phone!


A picture you don't see everyday with Sean @DefconBrix in front of his Tacoma


Walking out of the Expo to try and park closer to the main entrance, I found this Gem!


If you guys have never heard of them, this is the Overland and Bound #0000 Cruiser. Michael and Corrie are just like any one of us with a passion for adventure! It was nice to finally meet them in person and introduce myself as one of their members, (Member Number #1235) which allowed me to show off Tron and talk with them about the variety of vehicles used to get the job done, mainly Toyotas!


Found Parking

Someday Adventure showing off their Mil-spec Trailers and huge Powerstroke!


Then we end here on the last day before the party started haha



All packed up and last to leave camp. The old ice chest was later secured and then left next to a dumpster....I did splurge abit at the expo and got myself a new one!

 

Hah did you think I was Ruston?? His runner is sweet! Mine doesn't have any armor other than sliders and a skid so far. My rear bumper is on its way.

I ended up setting up camp with my dad and my buddy early. It was so windy we just wanted to find a good spot. Sorry we didn't get to meet man.

 

Expo was great and good to camp with you guys. I am in Cape Cod today and Boston tonight. I miss the desert but having fun.

 

New truck build is looking awesome but that's to be expected.
