Caspers slow but steady build and personal adventure thread.

Well I guess I better make a build page to keep up with all the stuff I do to the truck and with the truck. Plan is to include truck stuff and personal adventures with my fiancé like the title says.

Little info about me because everyone is curious right?
First truck was a silverado which I loved just got too big and impractical for my needs being in school. So i sold the truck and bought a 2015 trd sport access cab from my dad. I have to say I do miss my big truck but the Taco is 10x more fun and practical. That being said I don't regret my decision (Pics below)
I am also currently a paramedic/pre med student at WCU aka BFE..... @kiahb12 can agree with this
Currently an EMT in Franklin NC and pramedic student.

TITS









The old Silverado. She was a beaut.

 

ADVENTURE POSTS BELOW

First is pinnacle point near Sylva NC. About a 5 or more miles up and it's a tough hike. However the views are priceless. We ended up camping over night and heading down the next day. The view was much better with her in the picture.



Next is Jordan lake near Raleigh NC. Compared to where I grew up near lake Norman this place was an oasis. Water was clean, no houses around, minimal people, and minimal boats. I would highly recommend this place for camping or a nice day on the lake.




Went offroading for the first time in the taco. New suspension and tires handled like a dream. Will definitely be making this trail ride again.

 

AND RESERVED

 

What a high honor is is to have the first non reserve comment on this kick ass build thread.

 

Nice truck but you stole my name lol

 

And he even has a white truck.

 

Yep kinda funny and with the lights in the grill also

 

Lol sorry man haha I guess there can be two Casper's in this town. But you will always be #1

 

He'll I don't care I'm just jerking your chain a little. Good looking truck btw

 

Thanks man yours too been looking at yours a lot ha

 

Thanks that shouldn't have taken long. Just finished making and mounting hilift mounts and got my quickfist to make tool mounts. I'll do rt ups on those. Mine is just a simple little truck nothing fancy

 

Need to get some sliders like yours

 

All pro dom bolt on sliders we took off another truck you can see and n my build thingy I had to do some fab work to get them on but work great

 

Nice demelo OR is having a dang good inventory sale on them right now!!

 

Take advantage of it if you can I have never heard anything but good comments about their products.

 

Where are you in western NC

 

Honestly if you're in western NC why not uses SOS. Eddy puts out good products and you could go pick it up and save shipping. I can get you a discount code I think for 10%. Look up SOS concepts he makes nice bolt on sliders or weld on whichever you decide

 

I go to school at WCU in cullowhee. So I stay there 10 months of the year. And I have looked into them for sure. I'm keeping my options open but next purchase is my lift. Then I'll start saving up for sliders and such. I probably will end up heading down to SC and visiting SOS at some point.

 

My FIL is in Brevard down below Asheville so we go down there some. All my family is from around Greensboro and Burlington

 

Nice!! What made you move to VA?
