    My very first vehicle is arriving tomorrow morning so I thought I should start the build thread with all of the goodies I wish to add in the following days,weeks,months and years. Did some thinking last night and today and realized I only wanted one purpose out of this truck, 100% able to carry me, my two dogs, hunting and fishing gear, equipment to clean the game, and a place to sleep. Here is the current list I have devised in the past month and weeded out the things that weren't needed.

    Mud mats-dirty feet
    Shell-secure storage of gear and warmer sleeping quarters than a RTT
    OME lift 885 coils dakar leafs-to clear mud tires
    Nitto trail grapplers-perform superb in snow and mud
    Front runner roof rack for shell-to carry kayak,cleaning table(underneath), fuel cans, water cans
    ATO Hybrid bumper full guard-weight savings, winch ready
    ATO Rear bumper non high clearence-compliment the front and add two recovery points to the rear
    ATO Sliders-avoid rocker panel damage and keep it in the family
    Warn zeon 8s-very reliable and weight saving
    Water tank-cleaning hands and tools after cleaning game
    Rigid industries d2 diffused 6 total-side lights and rear lights for cleaning game and camp lights
    Rigid industries d2 driving-fog lights
    Rigid industries 40" e-series- ability to see beyond the range of headlamps
    Rigid industries amber cover for light bar-better visibility in snow and rain
    Uniden bear cat cb-noaa weather capability and to communicate with locals
    Powertank 20#-run air tools in emergency and pressurize water tank
    Rotopax 4 2 gallon gas cans-enough to get me to a village in the event of running empty
    Rotopax 2 2 gallo water cans-extra water
    Recovery straps shackles and snatch block-recovery

    That's the list I have so far will be updating as my needs progress or if suggestions are reasonable.

    Prayers needed. Less than an hour of ownership me and my buddy were driving it got in a slick spot lost control and rolled it. I was slung from it on the first roll and my buddy was still strapped in. Will update with pictures and details as the day progresses.

    I'm ok, bruised and cut all over not wearing a seatbelt saved me a lot of pain. My buddy has brain swelling, broken arm, broken leg and his eye is swollen shut. I talked to the police officer that came to do the report on the accident and he told me the truck is "fucked up beyond the point of repair". The roof is caved in, frame is bent, and the cab floor is wrinkled in width. They counted a total of 5 gouge marks in the hill side and the pine tree that stopped the truck is missing bark on one side about 9 feet up.
