Death Valley Wander 2012

[aeon]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, I appreciate it!

Man I really need to get to Death Valley!

If you get the chance, do it! DV never disappoints :sombrero:

Still one of my favorite Tacoma builds of all time, I see you added a CBI high-clearance rear bumper..

Thanks, and yes we did! I'll tell the hubby he should get the build thread updated, that's his department
