Made a quick weekender trip out to Overland Expo East in VA. Headed out after a full workday so did a late night park and sleep at a rest area. Was super easy to set up "camp" in the parking lot, definitely not something I've ever considered with only ground tenting or sleeping the back of a...

Followed this thread on how to wire up a non-stock backup cam to 2020+ trucks. super easy, just ordered a $15 pigtail for the tailgate connector and a $40 camera off amazon and hooked up 3 wires and that's it! Not sure why aftermarket companies are charging $200+ for this, but maybe I need to...

pic of the inside "as-purchased" since then made some changes: some visible, some not so much. took out the heavy and unnecessary bed slideout and extra cushions. Oh and the entire bed mattress too. We've had an Exped Megamat that we love for both insulation and comfort that we've been using...

well, it took a while to get to here, but after 392 days of waiting from when i placed the order, I finally have the camper! Took the weekend to enjoy cool weather ground tent car camping for the last time (we'll still continue to tent when backpacking). got some nice dispersed spots in the...

I hate the idea of a spare tire under the truck but for it’s current mall crawler status it makes sense to have one. Took some exhaust rework, tire winch relocation, and some bracket bending but managed to fit a full size 34” tire up there.

came out of the gym one night and found a sweet rig parked next to mine. the pizza cutters sure looked good on that disco. makes me miss my old disco a little bit. as far as updates go, finally got around to making a quick little shield for the wires and bits in the shelf

Haha light squiggling through trees thanks! that's factory. not my favorite shift knob by any means but it is comfortable and I have plenty of other tasks to keep me busy than making a new shift knob

now with 50 watts of communication capabilities! this radio can do dual channels and also has preset NOAA weather channels which i think will be nice.

bonus: tired out pooch on the drive home on sunday from all the adventures. he fully approves of his little backseat shelf/platform

on saturday we woke up to just drizzle for breakfast before hitting the trails and came across a familiar puddle again, and drove over the worst washboard roads I have ever encountered, but that was the perfect opportunity to dial in the BP51s. they are set good for <5mph washboards now, at...

went out again for the weekend. found some even better campsites this time. drove up after work on friday and snagged this perfect little horseshoe bend in the river had 'fancy feast' for dinner and got some rain overnight. Soft topper needs another coat of seam sealer as it definitely...

Thanks! Nothing terribly special, just using my IPhone 11 pro (i think) which i did specifically get for the nicer camera on it, but not a fancy DSLR or anything like that

and of course pics of the truck.

Finally got around to doing some soft roading to break in the new setup. Just a quick weekender, nothing special, nothing difficult. Snagged a nice campsite along a river, didn't catch any fish though. Sleeping in the soft topper was warmer than I expected. lows were supposedly in the low...

the side effects of recycling parts from "leftover" bins... I thought I had wired in 3 LED strips leftover from the dome lights I added to the miata and then also leftover from the cargo lights I added to the disco.... but turns out 1 of these was exactly that, but 2 of them were leftover from...

Never been off road Hi lift mounted Maxtrax mounted Now definitely an overland rig! Also picked up a bed mat because the plastic floor was killing my knees! Ready to go break it in soon!

been slacking on updates, but really the only thing I've worked on in a while is a shelf system for the rear seat delete havent taken a fully complete pic but this was 90 there. since then i added hinges and slam latches to the openable hatches. framework out of 3/4" x 3/4", 0.065" wall...

Now with a seatless back wall panel from a utility grade SR trim truck. it's nice and quiet with the panel + all the extra sound deadening i added compared to a bare wall!

nope, access cabs have a different 3rd brake light so we never get to have those OEM ones. 2020+ tacomas can all fit the back of bed lights these guys

that is simply a jumper subharness I assembled to get the functions I want out of my truck which came without bed lights, to use the OEM bed lights without having to cut any stock wires I get excited every time I do something worthy of posting!
