    Hello all,

    Just purchased a 2015 Access Cab TRD OR, Trails Team and I told my wife we'd keep it stock for a year. 15 minutes after picking it up we were on top of a local mountain in a few inches of snow... I glanced over at my wife and informed her that I couldn't believe we had to go into 4H to get up on top so I better get some new tires (Duratracs now installed)

    Once we got home we loaded the dog (Bull Dog "short Legs into the back seats) he was not impressed with the arrangement as he loves to stand on the Centre console ... I looked over at my wife and said you know I saw these pretty awesome storage/dog platform ideas on TW ... I now have no back seats and I am waiting for some marine hatches to get in for completion (I'll post the pics on the relevant thread when they are complete)

    Ok so decided to take my wife up another mountain and start teaching her how to wheel ( as we headed out I said lets not be too irresponsible and at least get a shovel. (shovel in the back of the truck now) She did quite well but there was 3 inches of fresh snow and the clouds were causing flat light , and she ended up sliding off the pack... no biggy as it was training so I got her out and explained what was preventing or progression yada yada yada and we were lucky as we could back down or had enough room to maneuver and the atrac/locker, but we should really get some more equipment for recovery.

    "Like what she?" well I'd go basic right now and get a hi-lift ... oh wait there are not really any good jacking points ...hmmm maybe I'll get some sliders ( I am now joining the group buy the AP sliders...)

    So thanks everyone for assisting my addiction and look forward to being a member ...
