Adventure Build

Hey all! Long time lurker of the Tacomaworld forum, I recently decided to make a build collection of sorts. I bought my tacoma in 2017 with 40k on the clock. My previous truck was a 2004 Ford Ranger Fx4 Level 2 that got my every where I wanted to go, unfortunately it was a salt belt truck and I was sick of the never ending battle with rust.

I would call my Tacoma a modest build of form, function, and aesthetic. Each modification or addition to my Tacoma has been done as needed and serves my needs and only my needs. I live in Utah and the purpose of my Tacoma "build" has been to get me to any and all hiking trail heads, camping spots, rock climbing crags, and ski resorts. It is my adventure rig, highway cruiser, and camp mobile all in one. I dont "overland" and I dont rock crawl, I recreate in the outdoors.

My original adventure truck in action. 2004 Ford Ranger Fx4 Level 2. 150k miles of camping, kayaking, rock climbing, and skiing adventures.

 

In 2017 I started looking for a Toyota Tacoma for their unprecedented reliability, larger cab size, and infinite amount of aftermarket parts. I found a 1 owner 2010 silver streak mica access cab with matching ARE topper and bedrug kit with 40k miles. Here is my only stock picture.
