Hello Everyone!
When my wife and I first decided to pursue overlanding/ remote camping we started small with an old Mitsu Montero I found locally on craigslist. I ended up doing a motor swap (same motor but a rebuilt one). I then did some other modifications like suspension, upgraded lighting, mint condition original interior, etc. It was really difficult sourcing parts for this rare vehicle but I did find a few donor vehicles to help out. Here are some pics of this vehicle.
Before:
After:
Needless to say after several months of using the Montero, we decided to upgrade. Enter, 2014 Tacoma TRD Off Road! :wings:
Stock:
Soon after we started adding our modifications:
First a Rocktek bumper from TRDParts4u.com
Shortly after we added an Allpro APEX Bed Rack followed by a CVT Tent and Awning from Bobby at CVT:
Then we decided to do a big update with an ARB bumper, Warn M8000 winch, OME HD suspension and 255/85/16 BFgoodrich MT KM2s from 4wheelparts:
So there's our build up to this point. Next in line are Allpro rock sliders from Outbreak Expedition. We are picking them up at the Overland Expo East so hopefully well get to meet everyone that's coming to the Expo also! :victory:

. I ended up having the sliders welded in some spots for extra strength. I don't have any real install photos but here is a picture of my paint booth and an action pic!
