Greetings from Lyons, CO

Hey all, thanks for having me.

I've been a long time user of Tacoma World but never thought I'd have much to contribute until now. I've finally reached financial maturity (that doesn't mean I'm responsible), and will focusing on my truck through the foreseeable future.

I'm a 26 year old Alaskan-raised adventurer that landed in Lyons, Colorado. A tiny town tucked in the front range, just north of Boulder where I work full time. I have fantastic trails just out my back door. Trust me, I know how lucky I am, and I think I'll be staying for awhile.

My rig is a 2007 TRD Sport access cab currently sitting at 90k miles. Current upgrades include basic stuff, like:
-Recovery gear (will be putting together a more expansive tool kit)
-Hi-lift jack mounted in bed
-Smittybilt compressor
-OME suspension, Dakars in rear, 886 up front
-Leer 100r topper
-285s Duratrac Wranglers (my next set will be 35s)

As soon as I finish posting this I will be calling Pelfreybilt for a new bumper with BD fog lights thanks to their flash sale. I have lots of other plans as well with this truck but have to take things one purchase at a time.

In addition to my Tacoma I also have a KTM addiction, a 200 two stroke and the 1190 Adventure R. Also on the stand in the garage is a 1977 Honda GL1000 Goldwing that is getting the "vintage adventure" treatment. I've attached some goodies below. Also included is a shot of me driving my buddy's brand new 4runner over the famous black bear pass cuz he was too chicken.

I'll be starting a build thread before too long. Cheers!
