    So I'm new and I'm still in the "dreaming" phase of being a soon-to-be (hopefully) Taco owner, and I wanted to run some build thoughts by everyone here.

    The basic plan is to buy an access cab 4x4 manual and convince the dealership to pull the rear seats out before even delivering it.

    As far as the build itself, the exterior as I'm envisioning it will involve a Mobtown shopping spree - full alu reinforced skid plates, front recovery bar, steel tailgate plate, and maybe locking compartments.

    The biggest changes will be under the hood, I think. I intend to run a few amateur radios (vhf, hf, aprs, and maybe a commercial unit as well), so I want to add a split dual battery system. Question here is whether the manual V6 has that slot in the upper left corner of the engine bay where that second battery always seems to fit.

    Along with this, and the front recovery bar, are a battery tender and oil pan heater wired into the block heater socket (standard up here in Canada) for winterisation, and an SB350 powerpole socket mounted somewhere for jumping and a winch.

    Oh, and raptor lights. Can't forget raptor lights.

    What are everyone's thoughts?
