    Hey guys, as the above states, no need to repeat myself.

    We just picked up a 2016 and plan to do a build similar to our Jeep. A purpose built Overland Outfitted Tacoma.

    I know jeeps well but this is new. Looking forward to learning from you all. Yes, you too: you know who you are

    Too many to list now.
    Welcome! Sounds like you're familiar with all the accessories already which will help in any build but especially overland. Your biggest learning curve will be on the drivetrain side of things, fortunately you're at the right spot for that and definitely have the right platform. You might also check out expeditionportal.com if you aren't already on there.

    Sharp looking Jeep, I'm sure you will love your Tacoma. A Tacoma is a whole different ball park. Is this your website? http://ruggedoverland.com/
