    Hey guys!

    Quick links for everyone:
    My Build Thread
    My Instagram
    SportStickers
    My Photography website

    So after wrapping up 3 months living out of a Treeline Roof Top tent off grid in my Jeep:
    30cx177_d8540159824147d0d3ff3938577c1872f6fcb253.jpg
    mjsrgo_c27fddf69f5011a7a1d9f54c952a954a8fdbe172.jpg

    ...I have decided to move onto a truck. The Jeep was vehicle number 15 for me so hopefully this Tacoma is the one for me! A one owner, Southern California, full records vehicle that passed all my tests without hesitation and for a good price. The current plan is to build it into a full capable Overland vehicle that the Jeep wasn't capable of.

    Beyond that I just moved from VA to Southern California and brought my small business with me.I do photography on the side you can see here and here. Any advice or if you're local and want to grab a beer holler!

    I was from Spotsylvania then went to college in Harrisonburg (JMU). Graduated last spring and been on the move ever since. Pretty amped on how capable this truck seems!


    Agreed! Pretty amped on the whole, truck with a rear locker thing :)

    Thanks! I absolutely loved that thing. It stood up through pouring rain, 50mph winds, 80 degree days and 10 degree nights!

    Thanks!
