Plurpimpin's Build Thread

So after almost a decade in the Tacoma I figured it's finally time for a build thread. Let's start this thing off with a few current pictures of the truck:









My main goals with the build are to have a capable truck for wheeling and getting to trailheads that can get me anywhere in any season/weather and be a comfy place to crash at night. Keeping weight down while beefing things up has been a high priority when selecting components.

This truck is still my DD so I've been trying to avoid turning it into a total pig. I also didn't want to loose the functionality of the bed with a super dedicated camper buildout.
