Welcome to my slow build!

2500 miles to date, and am moving methodically through my list of mods to be ready for her first season of overlanding in the West!

THE RIG:
2017 Tacoma MT Pro, 14 miles on delivery
Origin: Longo Toyota, Los Angeles, CA
Home: Denver, Colorado
Stock... add: an extra set of bed tie downs, thrown in for free.

A 'family' affair... dog and girl in tow. Short hop from DIA to sunny LA via SWA... 1k haul through the unplowed, black ice covered roads of UT and across the snowy Continental Divide home.

The fam and truck did GREAT!



Let the build begin!
