    Hello all!

    I have been a member of the TW forums for just about a year now, but I am finally making my first official post on here!

    I have a 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road 4x4 (shortbed) in Army Green (pictured below), and I have recently started putting it together in the last couple of months. I still have a long way to go in terms of where I want it to be, but I think I'm making some pretty steady progress :D

    My goal for this build is to create a versatile off-road / street truck, and inspire others to go on adventures with these beautiful machines!

    Please follow me along on my Instagram: @kuyastrucks

    I also have a 1999 Lexus LX470 (only 163k miles!) that I am slowly (but surely) building as a camping rig for me and my family :bananadance:

    I'm stoked, and looking forward to interacting with you all on this forum!

    Nice truck. I really like those wheels with the green truck. It’s kind of a throwback with a modern twist to the trucks when I was a kid. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

    I'm sorry sir, I have to charge you for that license plate. Guac is extra.

    How's the road noise on those tires? They look mean.

    lol when is Guac ever NOT extra?

    As far as road noise with MT tires...I can definitely hear them...but I also upgraded my speakers ahead of time to compensate for the MEAT these bad boys bring.

    That truck looks bad ass :) If I looked in my rear view mirror saw it, I'd be like "uh oh" lol. I like the contrast of the white rims & green. Also like the Yoko's. Good job, Charlson. Wish you luck :thumbsup:

    That would be awesome...and I do love GFCs, but I'm actually building this truck to be more of a capable on/off-roader. The least amount of weight, the better.

    I'm building up my 99 Lexus LX470 for camping though! I can't put a slide-in camper on it, but I can definitely put a nice RTT on top! lol
