Still Wandering
Although I don't have much free time to work on my rig anymore, don't worry I am still gettin' out there and using it.
Just so you know I'm not lying:
Big Sur
Baja
Big Sur
Eastern Sierras
SDDiver5 - Currently I'm living in Carpinteria which could be considered central Cali by some, but I have family and have lived in San Diego and Orange Co. so I am down there quite often. I love my rack too, I'm actually making another one for a friends rig right now.

Baja 13'
Well, we did it. The entire Baja peninsula in two weeks with a 3 month old baby and it was no problem, would do it again in a heart beat. Did a little rountine mantainace before the trip and got my timing belt changed and a new water pump and also had to get some new O-rings on my...

Guys thanks for the kind words and encouragment to keep posting, I will try to keep things updated as much as I can. I am not planning on getting a new rig just cause I have a kid now, I think the T100 will work just fine for quite some time. In fact we are already planning on a Baja trip with...
Update . . . or lack of
Sorry, I have no build updates on the truck, there isn't much more that needs to be done, yet . . . but there will be, I'll get into that in a second. As far as how things have been holding up, I did have to get a new clutch at about 190,000 which put off changing my...
laidback: Yea, I think thats a great way to do it also, I thought about option when I was shell shopping. It just didn't work well with my other modifications like the rack and rear window design.
CYi5: I believe that they are 33x12.5 on 17s Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ

It's been a while since I have been on the portal, I've been traveling out of the country most of the summer. So I thought I might get my build thread back up to date, I realize I have been back from this trip for about 4 months but here are a couple more things that I did before I took...
Ugrades for Baja 12'
Here are a couple upgrades I made before my Baja trip:
New Platform:
The thing that started this whole project was I found a piece of linoleum that would fit perfectly in the back of my truck to cover up my nasty piece of plywood that is saturated with oil, dirt, and who...
I have 2 like new in the box Vison X Xmitter XIL-40V LED Light Bars. These have the euro-beam pattern. I planned on putting them on my roof rack but in the end decided not to use them. I did snip the wiring connector off the end of only one of the lights, it can be easily spliced back together...
tstege, sorry about the delay in response I have been down in baja for the last three weeks, congrats on the shell seems like you got a good deal. I would definately a least carpet it on the inside if you are planning on sleeping in it, I remember seeing a thread on here about insulting...
Tstege, nothing more exciting then getting a shell. I didn't install the felt on my second tradesman, I learned that leason on my first one. The reason I mentioned having the factory install the felt is because they apply the felt in one big sheet before they attach it the roof, very clean look...
tstege, yea it is a pricey decision, but I knew what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with it. When I ordered mine I requested a lot of special modifactions and the guys there did it all perfect. Your quote seems high but about right, with windoors and a rack, from what I remember windoors...
