Tonka Build- Overland/BOV build

Tonka · May 19, 2014

I keep seeing everyone's build so I wanted to start posting my stuff and get some feedback!

I blew up my 2007 ford fusion that I purchased when i entered the USAF back in 2009. It had <90,000 miles when she died.... I needed a utility vehicle anyways. So, desperate for a vehicle I looked and I came across a 2014 DCSB PreRunner Sr5 w/ 2.7L 4 banga. I could've done more research prior to purchasing it, but it tripped my trigger! (purchased on 22JAN14)

My father and I always talked about having a BOV and driving to Alaska, Montana, Colorado (again) and anywhere else natural beauty was to be found. So this build is my preparation for this grand adventure.
