Overland Built Tacoma
My truck has quite a few additions since I last posted and here are some updated photos from the trip I am currently on.
Not exactly much of an adventure as it is a road trip and work unfortunately.
I'm trying to get in a little exploring in between the work.
The truck is all geared up though. I finally attached my accessory mounts on the rack. Awning, Hi-Lift and Axe.
I am hoping to get out of the Expo a little early on Sunday and start making my way back to Utah hitting some dirt roads and some small fishing holes. Make the trip home more of an adventure even though I'm anxious to get home to the family.
If you're in the market for a small boat though seriously check out FLYCRAFT, they are a small company based in Utah and this boat is incredible. Tons of videos of it in use on their site. www.flycraftusa.com

On the way to the NW Overland Rally
looked pretty aggressive from this angle and during this time of night
with just the Rigid Industries SR-Q2 flush mount lights on
All my Rigids on... no lens is wide enough to capture the entire throw lol
I really love my Tacoma... but this Sprinter really has me questioning what my next build will be!

Quick Trip to Colorado
Just testing the clearance with the new Bushwacker flares that were freshly trimmed (approximately 3" off)
Husky Liners are a MUST!!! I just need to remember flip flops aren't the best in all conditions lol

Totally awe inspiring. Love it ?Hey Expo!
I have used so many of the builds on here for inspiration that it's exciting to finally have my own come to life!
Thank you everyone for showing me how best to spend all of my money
Starting off with a brand new truck I wasn't sure how far I would take this but as you watch this build progress you will see I didn't cut any corners.
I am absolutely an outdoorsman so building this Tacoma with the now popular "Overland Style" was right in line with my lifestyle and goals for the truck that gets me there.
Just to clarify, I didn't build this for rock crawling, jumping or purposely beating up, although it is fully capable for when those times do arise... This is the rig that helps me explore our country, get into areas others can not and is also my daily driver.
Most recent photo as of Aug 9, 2015
I keep going back and forth on a full wrap with some subtle graphics or camo... The urge to do this usually comes after a weekend of trails and I come home to find the sides riddled with new scratches — some too deep to buff out unfortunately. Stay tuned for more on this...
IN THE BEGINNING:
I couldn't keep it completely stock for too long (I managed to wait 2 months) so I immediately put on a 3" Pro-Comp Level Kit with 285/70/17 Toyo Tires Open Country AT2's on 17x8 Method Race Wheels Standards.
Shortly after that things started getting a little more serious...
...and how she sits right now.
