I had a few friends that had off-road vehicles and they would always take me out. After awhile I grew accustomed to being in the dirt. I've always loved the dirt but that solidified the fact that I needed a 4WD. I started looking.. My buddy said, "Hey, you should go check out this Toyota down in Corrales." What could it hurt? 3 days later I bought Chelsea.

Mods


COMMUNICATION

CB Radio
-> Communication on the trail is essential. Especially if you get yourself into a hairy spot and need to call for help!


TIRES

BF Goodrich KO2
-> I've loved these tires since I've gotten them. Saved my butt a few times.


LIGHTING (removed)
-> I thought that these would do the job... Boy was I wrong.

Heise Led Light Pods
-> To anyone looking for lights on a budget and don't want them super cheaply made. Pretty good quality. They're no Baja Designs, but for a simple flood pattern they do the job.


PERFORMANCE

New 22re
-> Somewhere around 330,000 miles, on my way back from the grandma's... My 22re failed horribly. Got a rebuilt one and we've now reached closer to 370,000 miles now.


UTILITY (removed)
-> I used these for probably a year and a half. They worked great for my Roof Top Tent! Let the tent sit behind the cab, out of the way of the wind.


SUSPENSION

Bilstien 4600's
-> Much much much much much better than the original shocks that were on the truck but the 4600s do have their short comings. For as light of a rig that I have they've served me well.

Total Choas Long Travel (to do)
-> I cannot wait to be on long travel.... Immediately after finding the funds.................................

King Suspension Front & Rear (to do)
-> Smooth, Comfy, and maybe a jump or two???

Alcan Leaf Springs (to do)
-> A smooth ride doesn't mean you can handle the weight your bringing along.


MISCELLANEOUS

Smittybilt Overlander RTT
-> Coming from a small ground tent, to sleeping up off the ground on a comfy mattress. It's not the best tent, but it is an awesome shelter!


STORAGE

Custom Topper Bed Shell
-> No link. I bought it off an 88' Nissan HardBody. I wanted somewhere to escape to if the RTT wasn't a viable option. Due to weather, etc.

Rhino Rack Load Bars
-> I needed something up on top of the topper to hold the RTT in place. Found these load bars and they were super easy to install w/ the universal tracks.


AUDIO

Sony MEX-XB100BT Head Unit
-> I love music. And quality. So I needed something practical that was worth my time. Haven't looked back yet.

JBL 6x9 Speakers (Rear)
-> These mothers are loud. For my little cab they provide loud, crisp, punchy mids and highs to soothe your ears on long drives.

Kicker Comp R 10" Sub and 300w Amp
-> My small cab didn't need much to make your ears bleed. With the windows down to let the sound waves escape this setup provides even, deep bass.

4" Sony Speakers (Front)
-> These have been discontinued but I just did it for sound all the way around. The 6x9s in the back do most of the work.


DRIVETRAIN

Transmission (to do)
-> Just rolled over 370,000 miles on the original tranny. It's starting to whine a bit.. When it's cold it struggles for gears..

Regear to 4.56
-> With the help of a family mechanic. We got the 3rd members out of an early 90's 4Runner. LSDs Front and Rear w/ 4.56.
