    Love the build cool to see locals with cool builds and always had an appreciation for your cab shocked they didnt make a 3rd gen single cab. Browsing though your thread isnt helping my anticipation on building my truck and checking out some new England trails but cant do squat until my lease is up in for updates for sure!

    Im in Nashua, seen a couple awesome trucks here but havent met anyone yet and considering I am a bone stock 3rd gen I dont expect to haha. Id love moving out west like rockies area but the gf wont leave so I have to make due with it. I have a mile long list of places id love to travel to and a long list of mods for the truck, loved it so much i now work for toyota :rofl:

    Im sure ive probably seen his truck, its cool how different the tacoma scene is vs the honda scene which is what I am used to. I checked out a bit of the hamster run in the southern part of nh so far and it was a blast, just need to continue it when i get free time. My goal is heading up North woods maine area eventually, Ive seen a few people go up that way and it looks amazing!

    Picked up this pedal commander second hand at a great price. I was really skeptical about using it with a manual transmission but once you adjust yourself to it, it really does make for a more fun driving experience. 2A9563E1-3659-469B-92D7-5C1CDFAF9C12.jpg 1CAAF144-140B-46EA-825C-81FB3F19F047.jpg

    I really think this is neat idea and still think about it all the time since you mentioned it. I dont know if ill ever find the right part though. Not sure it actually exists.

    Today I added a Crime Stopper HYDROBlast Windshield Washer Fluid Heater. Was a super simple and easy install. Relatively inexpensive. Works well. Here’s a couple pics I took. Can’t wait to try it out on frosty mornings. I can tell you tonight is 27° and there’s steam pouring off my windshield when I use the fluid.

    Santa came and brought a truck bed full of parts!!

    I’ve got a CB and a firestik antenna, and new side shooter ditch lights from my girlfriend, solar set up, dual battery setup, and a tire repair kit from my parents. Tire deflator, door step, and tools from my brother. Also my aunt funded a farm jack for me. The truck will be fully equipped soon!

    I recently purchased a weatherproof rifle case the mount under the rtt and I’ve got some mounts and lights for them rear of the truck as well.

    cant wait for spring to get to work!!
