2016 DCLB Limited Adventure/Overwhatever Build

Hey Gang,

Pretty new here and quite early into my project, but been loving learning from everyone on here. I've wanted a Tacoma for many years, my VW GTI ran out of juice at bad timing so last year picked up a Frontier Pro4X and was just not happy with it. Traded it in for a great deal and ended up with this. A lot of my job is on the road (I work in the outdoor and mountain bike industry), so when I'm not working we're off adventuring - I want to build this into a project that respects both work/play aspects of my life. Definitely open to suggestions so please make recommendations.

We are totally building the same truck. lol
I love the FN FX Pro Wheels in bronze and think they would look bad ass contrasting against the black exterior of your truck : )
I want your bike rack, need to sell my Thule one first though.

 

Haha, I know! I had to give my head a shake when I saw your build and future plans. I've actually been thinking about a way to contrast the truck, all black is a little boring, and hard to clean! Bronze could definitely be the answer.

You'll love the rack, great local team out of Vancouver - My only downside is it's a headache to load a road bike, but those usually go inside the bed. Are you USA? Wasn't sure if they shipped down there.

 

I live in the Seattle area and a couple guys i know have the racks down here.
I don't know if they bought them on a Whistler trip or if they had them shipped down here but i need a set for shuttle runs.

 

I have a long bed and sleep in the back under my leer canopy, but you would be more comfortable sleeping in a rooftop tent, or check out the

If you want to make your buddies jealous when your camping and riding.
My buddies and I drove down to Moab for a MTN bike trip in the fall, having the canopy was great for all the gear. That 6 foot bed was full!

 

So I pulled the trigger on a North Shore bike rack today.
Off loaded my Thule rack and placed an order for the NSR-4 North Shore rack.

 

Sweet truck and nice Ibis I love the frames on those bikes.

 

Nothing Crazy to add, but Salex organizers arrived - Definitely a worth it investment!





Also did a tour of my pals importer garage last night - Took me for a spin in a Ferrari 458.

 

Spent the weekend Mountain Biking on Saturday, then headed out to Koksilah provincial park for some hiking, campfire, and decompressing.

Also, installed my Rigid Industries SR-Series 30" & Bumper Mount Kit + Mictuning dash button. Install took about a hour. This thing turns night into day.




Next up is Rims, TRD Intake, and TRD exhaust.

Stoked!

 

Last week added the TRD Intake, FN FX Pro wheels - Unfortunately, No luck on the exhaust as apparently the long box are on hold shipping into Canada?

Roof rack & awnings next.

 

Wheels are looking great : ) Love the FN FX Pro wheels.
