    Hey guys, I'm new here, but have been a long time viewer/creeper. My name is Mike and I run a little YouTube channel called Last Line of Defense - I actually have a few Tacoma gear type videos out there that you may have seen.

    Anyway, just wanted to make an account, introduce myself, get some pointers, etc. I have a 2016 TRD Off Road DCSB that I bought a little over 6 months ago, and love it just as much as the day I got it. It's pretty much stock now, but am looking to do some mods over the next few months/years. Probably a small lift and bigger tires - 32 or 33" - and then maybe some bumpers. Don't plan to do any serious wheeling, just want a little more capability to make it out to camping/shooting spots. I've had my fun wheeling days, but have broken enough drive shafts, axles, shock mounts, etc for one man's life. Not to say I won't ever get into it again though...

    In any case, just looking for advice on where to start. Should I do a 'build thread' even though there isn't much 'build' yet, or post some new threads about various minor mods I've done, or just hangout and continue creeping? Let me know!

    Thanks!
    -Mike

    P.S. one of the videos of my truck that shows just random gear (EDC type things) that I have in there - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFyUbkCz5s8 - if you're interested.

    A new bolt here, a new bolt there, a new bolt everywhere.
    I seen your video before, you posted on here lol. Welcome on board. I would start a build page just because it will make it easier to date your modifications instead of trying to work of memory like I did. That was a headache and I am pretty sure I missed something or dated something wrong lol
