Good Life In Ten

I'll be working on the build over the next month or two. So far I have just installed the fender flares and got the truck cap installed yesterday.
Monday I will be taking it in to have the winch, light bars, and some other wiring done including the air compressor and ham radio.
Initially I though I was going to go with the 4Runner TRD Pro, but then last summer after a multi-day backpacking trip of Maroon Bells Four Pass Loop (32 miles with 4 climbs in 3 days) I had tossed my hiking boots in the back of my vehicle at that time, crashed at a hotel, and the next morning the whole car smelled SOO bad!! LOL. Decided for my wife's sake we would need to be able to separate those smells so decided to go with a truck. I'm 6'2" with long limbs and didn't fit comfortably in the Tacoma so I landed on the Tundra.
I consider this 2017 TRD Pro my investment trophy. I have never bought a car with less than 100,000 miles for myself (my current car had over 190k on it and I had a truck with 203k on it). Spending money on a new car before would have been money taken away from from our real estate investments plans, so I kept buying old but decent cars until I reached my goal of financial freedom and being supported by the passive income from our rental properties. Well, that goal has been reached, and so now it was time to treat myself to a brand new Tundra TRD Pro. It's an awesome beast! Looking forward to planning many adventures and living free.
