My next upgrade after some lengthy research was rear (stock) suspension assist. When I'm not working, my truck is my daily driver and an empty truck rides like crap. I stumbled upon a product called SumoSprings from SuperSprings (dumb name awesome product) that was originally developed for the...

Now for the build. As mentioned, the truck is a double cab short bed Tacoma Sport 4x4. Since the truck was going to serve several functions, the mods had to be as multi funtional as possible too. As a life long backpacker, light and multi-functional were the guiding rules regarding the coming...

FUNHOGN [fuhn] [hog, hawg, hawging] to take more than ones fair share. Have more fun hiking, biking, backpacking, kayaking or whatever floats your boat. This is how I began my FUNHOGN build. First, some background. In 2015, my get of town truck was 97 Isuzu Rodeo 4x4 with a 255k on the odometer...

While I mounted the lights several days ago I hadn't powered them up because I was waiting for the switch controller to arrive. Now that, that is installed I'll wire the lights and whatever to that.

After considering some lower prices lights, I wound up going with KC Cyclone 5w LED diffused accessory lights (PART #1351). The main reason being engine heat combined with 110° summer temperatures here in Arizona.

I finally got around to mounting a light bar that I purchased a while back onto the front roof rack mounts. It came with a cover that I sprayed flat black to match everything else on the truck. I really like that the lightbar practically disappears when the cover is on. Also installed four flood...

While not installed today, the last notable upgrades was the front recovery points and 2in receiver. Hi-Lift jack mounts for the rear roof rack and a new set of Duratrac tires.

This is what I did and why. Like a lot of us, my rig is my daily driver. I didn't build it to be a rock crawler so I didn't want to add a lot of weight from a full bumper upgrade but still be able to use a winch if required. So I opted for the Mob Town recovery bar. It attaches at the frame...

While not a Land Cruiser, I have 2012 Tacoma that's been upgraded with OME suspension and an ARB locker. I like the capabilities and amount of room for both people and gear.

I've spent most of my life getting out into the backcountry via backpacking or kayaking down a river to nowhere. Still like doing that, as organized campgrounds aren't for me if I can possibly avoid them. I built my rig because sometimes time and distance make driving a better choice. The bonus...
