Webberlander's Build

Never thought i'd have a build thread on any vehicle but since purchase of my Tacoma, my relationship with it and this community has exploded.

A huge thank you to the TW community, Texas Toyota Coalition (TTC) and all of those of you who inspired my build.

A few notable mentions below I must say thank you to for the inspiration:

@ChadsPride
@Texoma
@HeadStrong Off-Road
@CBI Offroad Fab
@KB Voodoo

....and many more!!!


The Rig:

2011 Magnetic Gray SR5 4x4
Double Cab Short Bed

Why a Tacoma:

My dad ordered a 2009 TRD Offroad DCLB and I had the chance to drive it from Arkansas back to Texas. I was sold; I wanted a 4x4 Tacoma. I Purchased my Tacoma in March of 2014 with 69,7xx miles. The initial purpose of having my truck was for camping, hauling my dogs around and work stuff. Since then it has evolved into my Daily Overlanding rig. Every addition I've done has had a sense of purpose behind it from my travels.


Few days after purchase and having completed a full detail including Glass Coating the Paint with 22PLE (i'm a detal freak at heart):













First trip to the PINS. Our dogs were stoked to have the entire back seats all to themselves:

Thanks Chris. Couldn't have achieved it without your help!

Hello my fellow TTC members!

 

Truck looks good!! Need some family taco pics with Ben. Did he ever get the lift put in?

 

THANK YOU!

I have a couple of shots from when he first got his truck but we need to do an official family photo shoot soon!

Here is what I have after he put his Tent on. He also re-did all the fabric on the tent himself.

 

You have a stable of yotas!

 

His truck is nice also love his camping setup I was literally drooling over it like a mouth breather.

 

Trip to the PINS with my Brother-in-law's rig and mine. Had a blast.

 

Y’all need matching front bumpers I tried convincing him to get the one I have.

 

Yeah man! Converting family members one at a time! Started with me, then my wife ordered a 4Runner TRD Pro and her brother followed suit and found a 2012 TRD! We are currently working on her Dad. He's been looking at 2012 Pre-Runners.
