    Hi gang. I've been lurking for a while, but figured it was time for a proper introduction. I drive a 2015 double cab short bed 4WD in black. Haven't done too much to it, but here's the list:
    • tool box in the bed to hold junk
    • Tyger side steps to help the wife climb in
    • BFG KO2s in 265/70-17
    • CB antenna for on-trail comms
    • Mobtown Offroad front recovery bar
    I enjoy running some of the mild trails around San Antonio and have gone as far as Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Fall, TX, to tackle some more aggressive terrain.

    Have a couple of upgrades coming over the next few months. Gathering all of the parts to do an on-board air setup, then will start working on a dual battery system and maybe some auxiliary lighting.

    Live in San Antonio, Texas, with the wife, kids, dogs...

    Welcome! Be careful with those Tyger steps. They can cause more damage than if you didn’t have them on, if you get hung up on something. They aren’t sliders.
