My one year left to pay her off so I'm just going to roll with it-build thread!

My 2012 DCLB has served me so well in its stock configuration as a commuter truck. Wife and I are stable in our new home. Recent events have prodded me to decide it is time to start prepping it as a haji terror hilux clone just to have in case the SHTF.



Here she is when I bought her 4 years ago. 2 miles on her before I did the test drive, put about fifteen on and every single on after that!

She will be paid off soon so now I want to explore the scene and do some moderate to heavy power modding!

Current setup

2 black nerf bars, 3 years old.



1 truxport tonneau cover, in great shape.



Goals will be easy firearms access (obeying all laws), lots of water and gas tanks, low power consumption lighting, high power consumption RF and A/V electronics in a dual battery isolator set up, and all the wiring to go all in to that. Bug out truck with special customizations fitting the needs of the owner. Seriously, we be rocking and rolling. ISIS proof, riot proof. Sweet party proof! Also, I want new led lighting for the entire vehicle.
