    I’ll definitely check out both of those. One because my wood shed collapsed last night and I’ll be building a new one once the rest of the snow melts, and the other because there’s so much cool stuff to find in the woods up here. I need to get a metal detector this year.

    It’s never done. You’ll think of something, don’t worry. You blew your wad too quick by doing all your mods over the course of a few months instead over years like most people do (that’s ok), but I promise you’ll change your mind, think of something else, or go a different direction with it and start modding again. It’s never done. Now go out there and ride it like everyone else said, bud.

    Sounds like retail therapy. You look like an avid outdoorsman in Alaska with an awesome family! Keep finding happiness in the kids and great outdoors. Realize the truck is just a tool to go out and access them. New things will always be old things quickly. May as well find other outlets to focus on. Cheers :)

    Drive it into the dirt, take the family everywhere they’re willing to tag along with you, scratches are like tattoos for a truck, a story behind each one. Have fun, be careful, sounds fun.

    Really think about leaving TW...it looks like you put together a well thought out build that suits your intended use. If you stick around here, you will be looking at 37's, solid axle swaps, etc just because. Like others said, use it to make memories. Sometimes we get caught up in the thing instead of what we can do with the thing.

    Up until I seen this thread I wouldn't have thought a total "win" was possible with all there is to do with these trucks....Indeed a very interesting perspective.

    Congratulations, you are in a good position with that thing. As others have said, think it's time to enjoy it. The real fun isn't in the parts anyway, it's the experiences/memories.

    These trucks are almost overwhelming with the amount of aftermarket stuff you can get for them. There's no end to it.

    Go exploring with it.

    You think your mods/expensive items are through…My wife and I have 3 kids, 19,20 and 21…the oldest just graduated college this week while the other 2 are just finishing their Freshman years. I see where a huge chunk of your money is going to be spent haha. I certainly envy you with the little one pictured. The days will fly by as will the money but it’s a wonderful time…go enjoy life!!!!

    Cute kid. That’s a fun age. Enjoy your kid(s) before they get old and cynical.

    There’s always more to do on a truck. Lose some weight like this guy.

    All the things!
    Just like when you beat single-player mode in a video game, you need to go into multi-player mode. Find some TW locals and go exploring in that thing.

    Seriously though... you're not done. Do you know how many expansion packs TW makes for your truck game? ALL OF THE EXPANSION PACKS.

    I've told myself "I'm done modding. I'm finally happy with how I've got my truck."... that was years of "bad" decisions ago. Next up! Regearing to 5.29's!

    I’m nearly at the same stage you are, but with different mods. Next step for me is front bumper to get good recovery points there. Maybe a winch, but I don’t try to get stuck.

    And make sure you get and know how to use good recovery gear.

    :rofl: Oh man, I actually laughed out loud in my office on this one. I never knew what a store truly could be until I walked into Fred Meyer in Fairbanks, Alaska in about 1998. Who needs a stinkin' mall with that place? Where else can one go to visit a bakery and have fresh baked pastries and coffee, go check out the latest equipment in home theater, then buy some lumber and welding supplies, and also check out some fine jewelry for the wife on the way out?

    I'm more impressed with your ability to form these sentences considering you're still a toddler. Just amazing. Einstein mind you have.

    On another note, now you're done with yours, let's work on mine. I' ll let you cover the cost. No string attached.

    Exactly anyone that says a project is done doesn't understand the concept of a project is never done lol. There's always more to do.

    No money, all went to truck...
    after reading his, I guess there is some value in not having lots of cash on hand. There's a special kind of "rush" in the wheeling and dealing of mods, prioritizing, saving, building, searching tacomaworld, asking tacomaworld, etc etc over time.

    I could see how if you could have it all at once, it wouldn't be as fun.
