    Bought this 06 TRD with 90k miles on it. It was pretty beat up. The Tailgate was bent in half, pop rivets broken, hail dents, wonky fenders etc. Got it for a good price. My local Toyota whisperer said mechanically it's in fantastic shape.... Anyway....

    Here are the mods so far:

    Wired in a CB Radio with a Firestick hood mounted.
    Wired for an Engel MT35 Refrigerator.

    The CB is wired in the center console and the refrigerator wiring is run from the battery through the door molding to the back seat. I'll install a secondary battery one day, but I can run the Engel all night and still be well above cranking volts.

    Hammered down the pinch weld, trimmed the hell out of the fenderwells/flairs. No scrubbing except for those pesky body mounts. I ground them down a lot, but will have to shop and weld them at some point.

    Armor:

    AllPro E-locker guard
    Used crazy custom swing away bumper with HiLift mount, tire mount and CBI Dual can carrier.

    This was all a rush job as we had a planned trip to the Maze district of Canyonlands.

    We spent 5 nights out there at amazing campsites: Panorama Point, The Maze Overlook, Doll House (2 nights), and then Sunset Pass before we left on the last day. Drove 230ish miles offroad in all. Had an amazing time and am now addicted to Utah deserts.
