    What's happening folks!

    Purchased my 2005 Tacoma in January of this year (2022) with 8 months worth of projects on the books. Many details and changes on this thing. It went from bone stock with the frame recall completed to a tiny crawler. Still working out some minor details before taking it on a shake down here soon. This build is considered a "budget" build. I don't have the crazy king setup that most go for, but I do have brand name products scavenged from Amazon, Ebay, friends, you name it.

    A lot of hours have been put in so far, mostly on my part from moving so slow but it's been extremely rewarding with how much has been tackled. The aftermarket world is much more supportive than my previous market (Nissan) and for that I'm thankful.

    Fire away any questions!

    First Money Pit is my 2018 Nissan Titan SV. It's not your average off-road enthusiasts truck. The aftermarket is pretty sparse in comparison to the Toyota markets. I love it though. 400hp in a stock pickup, comfortable trip vehicle, it's been solid since Day 1.
