Shabhshah's Build Thread

Figured I should start one of these. Here's a picture of my truck to start things off:


Details:

• 2017 Access Cab SR Utility Package
• Came with bolt on steps/rock sliders (very useful so far!)
• Leer 122 cap with a Thule Force XXL on top
  
• Purchased April 2020 with 16k miles
• I4, 5 speed
• Currently at 26k miles

 

First things first for the truck was moving home from college in May 2020. Michigan -> Massachusetts. I had to get my canoe home so I built a wooden rack for pretty cheap. All I needed was a hand saw, tape measure, drill, and wrench. Truck handled the first "long" drive fine.

 

Then came the move from Massachusetts -> California in June. Pictures in chronological order (there was some zig zagging involved).
