    Hey all,

    New to the forum and just wanted to say hello from Southern New Mexico.

    I was a Jeep-guy for the past decade, but my Jeep recently decided to do a 60mph somersault and has gone the way of the Dodo (photo attached).

    Anyway, I've dusted myself off and am now the proud owner of a 2021 TRD Off-Road. I did most of the work on my Jeep myself, but I'm completely new to trucks and independent front suspension, leaf springs, etc. so I'm sure I'll still have a bunch of noob questions.

    Not looking to go too crazy with my build this go-round. Probably just some more aggressive tires, an air compressor and some sliders for now. I did some forum trolling and was set to mount an ARB air compressor in the bed cubby, only to find out that my truck doesn't have a driver's side cubby

    Regardless, I'm just excited to get the truck out and start camping again. My wife and I hit some dirt roads this past weekend and I was super impressed with how comfortable the ride was in the Tacoma. Even with fully inflated tires, WAY mo-better on washboard roads than the Jeep was!

    Cheers guys,

    Welcome to TW, Joe! :cheers:

    Glad to hear you're alright!

    I'm probably talking out of my ass but I think I've seen some ARB compressors mounted in the engine bay.

    Thanks everyone!

    Not originally from NM. I grew up in Ohio and then bounced around a bit. My wife and I spent a few years in Albuquerque before we moved to Las Cruces two years ago. Absolutely love it here though!
