    Really really close to pulling the trigger and getting a black 2017 DCLB 4X4 TRD Off Road with Tow package and JBL package

    Slightly slowing down in my old age switched from racing off road cars mostly 5-1600 and 2-1600 (4 Championships)(last raced 2002) to riding dual sport motorcycles with my 3 boys we have a couple of new 2015 DRZ400’s and a couple of low mileage 2006 XT 225’s
    Here's one of my Baja bugs (5-1600 class)
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/media/img_6947.544580/

    Here’s my plans for the Toyota once I get my hands on it

    Roof rack I could make my own out of steel but I think it might be too heavy plus all the time, material's, engineering, fabricating and powder coating it will be close to the same price or maybe even cheaper if I can get it with the 20% discount they occasionally give

    https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...oma-2016-current-slimlineiiroof-rack-kit.html


    Might get a Roof top tent eventually

    20% off right now drops price from $899 to $719 so leaning towards this one some day who knows
    $995 Smittybilt Overlander Roof Top Tent - 2783
    http://www.4wheelparts.com/Outdoor-...83.aspx?t_c=88&t_s=565&t_pt=9576&t_pn=S/B2783



    cool stuff from inmate Mattgecko
    • LED BED LIGHT KIT (cool or warm white LED)
    Pre-wired (3) LED strips with "upgraded" adhesive backing tape, 28' power wire, zip ties, adhesive squares, bed mounted waterproof push button switch & switch cover, in-line fuse holder / fuses, heat shrink connectors & easy to follow install instructions with lots of pictures.

    Includes USPS shipping with tracking number - USA (CANADA Add $18).
    5' Short Bed $80.00 (regularly $90.00) / 6' Long Bed $85.00 (regularly $95.00)

    Other goodies I’ll make myself similar to

    Tuffy Security products: Toyota Tacoma Bed Security Lockbox
    https://www.tuffyproducts.com/p-235-toyota-tacoma-bed-security-lockbox.aspx

    ESP Truck Accessories Toyota Tacoma Steel/Aluminum Rear Under Seat Storage Unit

    bed side supports

    http://offroadwarehouse.com/i-23038737-total-chaos-tacoma-rear-channel-bed-stiffeners.html#!model=TACOMA||make=TOYOTA||year=2016

    When I get to the point of wearing out the first set of tires I may do the Cab mount chop thingy myself to fit slightly bigger/ wider tires

    I live in Montclair Ca. and will be looking to do some desert and mountain shake down runs once I get a few things added on
