Adventures Abound (A Build Thread)

11/25/2016 in the Payette National Forest
​

This is going to be the build thread for my girlfriends 2007 Access Cab TRD Sport.

Vehicle Goals:
We plan to use this as our 4x4 Adventure Vehicle to get us to remote trailheads for backpacking and exploration. Anything that we modify will be towards that end, or to improve quality as a Daily Driver.

Completed Modifications:
None as of yet. I haven't done a full inventory of the state of affairs on the truck, and that is a project that needs to be done.

Planned Modifications:
Stereo Upgrade (To Be Completed By 12/25/2016)
Bed Supports
Bed Cap
Rear Seat Modification
Sleeping Platform/Storage in Bed
VHF/UHF Radio Install (or HF) - if I can get the ok.
On Board Air System

Any and all changes have to be vetted by the boss, but she's pretty amenable as long as we don't break it.

More to come.

 

Last week I received the Scosche Single DIN Dash Kit and wiring harness to put the Kenwood stereo that I have in my '01 Forester into the Tacoma as part of my GF's Christmas gift. I will be installing it on Sunday afternoon so we have the new stereo ready to go for Monday's trip to Lowman to get some Hot Spring action going on. Will update this post with the install and such once I get it done. First though, I have to rip out my center console on my Forester to get the stereo out...
