Taco Dan's NeoTerra Rover "slow but steady" build

I've had my truck for over 2 years and figured its time to be like the rest of the cool kids on TW and make a build page. I'm in this truck for the log run, so why not have some fun?

In October 2011 i found an online advertisement for a 2006 certified pre-owned 4x4 auto Tacoma while browsing one night. I had just been in an accident in my old 2004 F150. Needless to say it was totaled from being T boned by a ditsy college girl texting while driving. It worked to my benefit, i got top dollar from insurance on it, and knew exactly what i was going to buy next, a second generation Toyota Tacoma. After months of prior research before my accident, i wanted a Tacoma. I was blessed with the opportune time and way with the accident. The insurance check came, i called the dealership, and within 2 days the Tacoma was all mine!

That is how my truck came to be, and this is the ongoing story of what it is now and will continue to be. Now to Begin- The Tacomaworld way.

The day i bought my truck
