No problem. Is it weird that I'm excited for you to leave in two weeks? It's like I'm going to be living vicariously through your trip or something...

Just stopping by, loving the progress. Totally get your train of though there... Nelson rules, I won't argue but employment can be difficult. Although it depends on the industry I guess. Even for $8000, that is one of the coolest looking pickups I've seen. LOVE the stance. It sure is...

I look forward to seeing this... As the OP has experienced, the achievement in doing so would be surreal!

I first want to thank you for taking the time to write this awesome series of posts. Your words just provided me with goosebumps at the thought of adventure on the Rubicon Trail. Excellent writing and photos. It was so cool to be able to "feel" your adventure through the screen on my Mac...

Yah just call and talk to him. He seems to not be as good with the internet as he is with fabrication. haha Just give him a ring and I'm sure you will be looked after! Blackdawg, your trip looks epic. Thanks for sharing all of the photos, really making me excited for my big trip down south this...

Thanks! If you head out this way, I'd be happy to show you around the Crowsnest Pass area. Just drop me a line before you come! Thank you, Cheers! Thanks for stopping by! Glad your liking the build. Update I did a few odds and ends over the last couple of days. Installed my Blue Sea aux...

Hahah you know it all too well Mike! BTW I forgot to tell you, that dash detailer stuff you recommended is AMAZING. The reason it's getting built is because we are planning a US trip in the spring > Moab, Death Valley, Lake Tahoe Area, and possible Oregon. I'd like to do a trip with him once a...

Thanks guys! I'll pass on the compliments to my folks. It's their "dream" home as they are approaching retirement. We've had the property that the house sits on for about 10 years now and I head out there as much as possible, not it's just that much more enjoyable. Nothing beats the outdoor...

It's perfect! Super glad I found a keeper that doesn't mind my terrible Toyota temptations. lol My brother tagged along this weekend. I actually gave him my old DSLR and he went and bought a 50mm prime lens (nifty fifty). That's his only lens and it's kind of neat seeing his perspective with...

Yah I'm pretty fortunate to be within 1.5hrs of some of the gorgeous terrain around. I could be closer though... I want to move back to BC! Thanks a lot! Thank you very much! Getting engaged on the long weekend gives me an excuse to "celebrate" the long weekend on a yearly basis and go...

Thanks! The truck is still waiting on some sliders and a few more odds and ends but it's pretty close. My Dad is new to offroading and wants to keep it pretty simple and not have to re-gear but wanted it to look unique. I think it works! Yah, that's my folks new house on Kootenay Lake just...

A few shots of my Dad's Tacoma that I've been helping him build. It's getting close! 20120824-IMG_1805.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120824-IMG_1800.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr 20120824-IMG_1809.jpg by RickaShay24, on Flickr

Very similar to what I'm debating. I appologize as I still havent got my "sketches" online yet. Thanks for the link, that platform is beautiful! I'm looking for something a little more simplistic but I do like the general design. No worries thanks for the photo! Looks great! UPDATE - Photo...

At this stage its just a sketch. I'm still debating if I want it to be foldable (or at least one side of it) so I can throw one rear seat back in if needed. I'll try and get some pics up of my idea as feedback would be appreciated. I want to get it perfect the first time!

Thanks for following everyone! Well I sold the wheels and tires pictured above. Doing so opened up my opportunity for my new setup: SCS F5's in the new Matte Gray finish with 3.5" Backspacing paired with 315/75/16 Goodyear MT/R Kevlars. This is a pretty aggressive wheel setup but I love the...

Super cool thread. Pretty inspiring to see you drop out of your norm and make this trip happen with the resources that you have available. I think a lot of people talk about doing stuff like this but never actually execute it. I also have a trip like this on my bucket list, so I'll be tagging...

Long Travel 100?!! Wicked. Are you going to be building your own A-Arms? Not sure such a kit exists for the 100. I know they have mid-travel kits but not full LT. Man, I'm excited for this! On a side note, sad to see you let go of the 80, one of my favorite 80-series builds and if I hadn't just...

Your photos are amazing. Seeing trip reports like this are what literally tear at me to get away and go explore. Love your truck too, if I ever got a 2nd gen Tacoma it would be the identical config - Rad. Red DCSB TRD OR. It's funny how looking at the map, you plan X number of miles to travel...
