    Hello All.

    I just wanted to introduce myself.
    I've been lurking for about a year now.
    This seems like a really good site, with very helpful members.

    For years I've wanted a Tacoma.
    Finally, after saving money for years, I was able to purchase a new 2012 Toyota Tacoma SR5 4x4 Long Bed in Magnetic Grey Metallic.

    It's bone stock right now, but that's going to change. (I've already started ordering parts. :))

    The goal will be to build up an "Overland" style vehicle.
    I'm looking forward to exploring remote places, and "luxury camping" along the way.

    Anticipated mods to the Tacoma will be:
    OME 3" lift kit
    CBI custom front bumper with dual 6" Rigid lights and Warn winch
    CBI Skid Plates and Armor
    CBI Flared Sliders
    CBI Rear bumper
    FJ Cruiser Trail Team 16" rims
    BFG 245/75/16 TA K/O tires

    Four Wheel Camper "Finch" model.

    So in the meantime, I'm going to learn all I can about successful Mods that have been done by others here on the forum, and of course start a thread about my build.

    Thanks.

    Thanks! From the reading I've done here, it seems like a knowledgeable bunch of enthusiasts.
    I'm looking forward to learning more about these trucks based on the experience of others.

    Well, I just got back from a nice trip down to southern Utah.
    I thought I would share a few pics of the Tacoma with you.
