Tactical Overland Build

Oh ok I've heard of people having some kinda lock on them...? Not sure what kind or anything though.

 

You still stationed at Wainwright?

I just got here; my truck should get here in a week or two and I definitely need to get out and discover some local trails before the snow takes over.

PM sent.

 

Sub'd

 

Finally installed the MOLLE panel I bought off Nat. It went in really easy and fit tight. I decided not to use any more bolts / attachment points besides the ones used to secure the seats back. This amounted to three holes drilled. It's not as secure as it could be, but it's not going anywhere either. It doesn't rattle, and I could flex it forward to weave the MOLLE pouches through it.

My advice for finishing it: leave it aluminum, or powder coat it. I sprayed it with primer and then black spray paint and let it dry overnight. Upon install into the truck, and hanging the pouches, I proceeded to scratch it all to hell. It's not a big deal, just frustrating. Perhaps a spray-on bed-liner would do the trick too.

Anyways, it really helped clean things up back there.

 

Pictures from recent Alaskan activities:

 

Love the AK activities.

 

Added a glove box organizer - so much better!

 

Where did you find your glove box organizer?

 

I searched "Tacoma Glove Box Organizer" on Amazon.com.

 

Recent trail scars...



The prize:

 

Using it the way it's suppose to be used!

 

Nice truck.

 

Thanks! I really like it so far.

 

Haha I won't lie, I used to lurk the forum quite a bit and saw your build a year or so ago and have some of your mods on a to do list... at work so I can't see any of your pics..maybe when I get home..

 

Finally pulled the trigger as you were the initial inspiration to buy Shane's iPad kit! Although I don't live in Alaska I will probably grab all the same equipment you bought and use it to make my exploring even more fun

 

Love the organization throughout! Great job!

 

I see your using OME 886's what shocks are you using for those

 

I'm using the OME shocks that came with the lift kit. I believe they are the Nitro Sports.

After driving on the 886's for two years, I would recommend a softer spring rate. Granted, I don't have a plate bumper and winch yet, but the front is way too stiff. I think 887's would be a better choice.

 

Paid the truck off this week. Looks like that truck payment can now be used for mods...

 

Nice! That's the best mod there is.
