    Just a few expensive & DIY things...
    ....because Inferno Orange is the new Black;
    and yes I bought an Orange truck in October on Halloween

    [October 2016: quite a few photos and updates I haven't done in months, to come...]


    ******************************************************************

    I have followed so many builds on this website and ExPo for years, it only seems right to continue the fun and the art of spending money.
    With the likes of Dave[TacoDoc], Bob [NYCO] and Robert [Barlowrs] and a handful of fantastic others like Chux and Crom, I begin this journey [again].
    I have always been a fan of Toyota vehicles and this one seems to fit us just right and be the base of future fun exploring our great nation and hopefully beyond.

    I began my search for a 4WD after my fun weekend with Underwater [h2Overland] Expo East 2015. [great people; changed my view since the year prior]

    Origin: My 2WD 2010 TRD Off Road did quite well that fateful weekend and never got stuck due to my locked rear and careful wheel+throttle and a new trusty [Jeep] friend; thanks Oscar, with a winch ready to poke fun...

    Weeks later my wife and I return from a trip from Maui, which apparently is overrun with Tacoma's, which was amazing, and we returned to the idea of upgrading to a family and adventure truck to last us forever.
    So I spent an entire day un-molesting my 2010 for the transfer of goodies to the new truck...


    Goal: To build a daily driver & a hybrid extreme camping; aka Overland/Exploring/Adventuring/genre, truck.

    Enter the Inferno... Oct 24th 2015:taco::bananadead:
    Make: Toyota
    Model: TRD Pro - Inferno Orange
    Year: 2015 [with ~3k miles on the ticker]


    [drove from Atlanta, GA to Asheboro, NC and back in one day to pick this up]


    ************Photos Below in the Spoiler Button************************



    Day 1
    [in front of my trade in, the 2010 TRD trusty older faithful]
    I have to fix that squat, I like a little bit of rake...plus I tow and have lots of toys

    The original owner of the 2015 bought a 2016 and paid to have the wheels swapped, which I didn't mind due to the faux bead-lock [but the BFG tires would have been nice] and I had my coveted 235/85 Cooper st MAXX on my set from my 2010[which you see now on the truck]. I bought a second pair of TRD wheels last year for my trailer, and just put those on the truck for trade in.

    So, I had the 2016 TRD OR Wheels and tires initially as of a few days ago, which are now set aside for my trailer and I put my 2010 TRD OR wheels back on, since I have run them for a while and I know I'll be running this truck hard.

    For SALE

    I've decided to sell this fantastic trailer, life has made changes and I have to adapt.
    I had so much fun building this rare find of a military relic, a great M100 off-road military adventure trailer for sure.
    Here is how I found it:
    [​IMG]

    Today with telescoping rack fully raised and tent open:
    [​IMG]

    Details:
    1952 Strick Co. M-100
    1/4 ton weight class, weight ~565lb unloaded
    Original data plates - completely legible
    Original military grade pintle and lunette system - fully functional
    OD green beneath the current black bed-liner
    [Original lights, wiring harness, hardware, axle and 3 wheels/tires optional]

    Upgrades:
    Upgraded Dexter 3500lb axle with electric brakes
    CVT Mt Shasta Pioneer Extended on telescoping Thule rack
    Replaced worn out shocks with upgraded Monroe shocks
    Thule Xporter 442xt aluminum telescoping bed rack attached via uni-strut channel [works with most bed rail attachments, inside and outside trailer bed]
    Coiled safety chains and safety hooks, so no dragging or getting snagged
    11lb propane tank with locking bracket on front of trailer
    Two leveling bubbles for accurate level on any terrain
    Upgraded 3-mode LED tail lights
    Two steel platforms [on either side] for top access or jerry can/misc storage
    CVT Awning 55"
    Two solar motion lights on sides - 4 modes
    1000lb trailer jack - tall and dual wheels
    7pin trailer electrical - loomed and routed through frame
    Heavy duty tarp cover - 5x7
    Two locking Jerry can mounts, on inside of trailer


    Trailer maintenance:
    All zerk fittings greased regularly
    Springs cleaned and treated
    Trailer body - no rust no rust holes
    Lunette greased and spring fully functional
    Undercarriage: bed liner on frame and body
    All electrical loomed and heat sealed [ recently upgraded brake lights again]
    All hardware upgraded with Grade 8
    Wheel spacers to fit larger tires if necessary [currently Toyota bolt pattern]

    Tent upgrades
    Comes with vestibule with mosquito netting and 4 zipping doors
    Never used rubber floor
    Upgraded to Sea to Summit Buckles from Velcro
    Upgraded 5in memory foam mattress with waterproof zipping/washable cover
    Multi position ladder


    Notes:
    Foxwing NOT included
    Prefer to keep tent with trailer
    Current Toyota Wheels/Tires negotiable - may have steelies available
    Can manually raise tent [ my wife and I did this]
    Hurt my back [ mountain bike accident] and have been able to use a scissor jack with ease, less than 3 minutes to raise tent with drill
    *Includes two 24" 5000lb scissor jacks and adapter

    Story: My wife and I built this and towed it from Atlanta to the beautiful South West for a 3 week vacation.
    It handled everything Moab and the West could throw at us, it even floats.

    If you want a fantastic easily towed and tracking trailer, this is for you, it is ready to go.
    Great for overlanders, adventurers, and those that just love calling it Camping, family trips or weekend fun.
    I have no regrets with this trailer, it's just awesome.
    *Tent raise to easily accommodate 6ft tall folks, I'm short at 5,6 and have no problems raising or lowering the tent
    Tows so well behind my Tacoma, track width is the same.


    Price:
    $7500 OBO
