Dcwn.45's overland build

So, I figured I would post a build thread.
Here's my story.
My last truck was a 2012 Ram 2500, with plow, bought new.
I used to do a fair amount of towing, and had a residential plowing side business.
Fast forward, not doing any heavy towing,and did the math,and realized that the plowing was not making enough $$ to justify driving the big truck the rest of the year.
So I looked and found a 2013 Tacoma TRD off road DCSB in Duluth (I'm just west of the twin cities) with 37,000 miles, in perfect shape.At a Toyota dealer.
Stock except for an ARB bumper w 8,000 lb Warn
PERFECT!!!!!!!!
Turns out my plow truck was more desirable up north and I made out pretty good on the trade in.
My first trip was to Watford City ND for a job.

 

Stock, the truck was great, but I wanted to make some improvements.
My goal was to maintain practical daily driver function and improve the capabilities for camping and off road.
I went with an OME coil over/shocks and Toytec AAL
I decided to go with the stock wheels and lt 265/75/16 BFG all terrain T/A ko2 tires




I did a few other bits, made shovel/jack mount,gas can mount, tablet mount (I use a gps app called OsmAnd)
Steely mount for handheld cb, relocated rear diff breather,relocated trailer wire plug.




I also got a set of bed bars and a Yakima RTT.


I'm very happy with the truck so far, time will tell if the AAL's are enough for the rear.
I'm going to drive it this way for a while and see if I want a little more lift ( maybe shackle flip) or new spring packs.
Right now the ride is great either empty or with the RTT which is not very heavy.
I have 3 trips planned with my girlfriend so we will see how it works.

 

Looking good. If I had a good way to store a RTT and bed bars like that I'd seriously consider it.

 

Nice biuld
