Having had Inferno for a year now and spending most of that time researching just exactly I wanted him to be. Spent a fair bit of time reading on Tacoma World, Overland Bound and watching various youtube channels.
Going to use this thread to track the progression on turning him into a light duty daily runner overland rig.
It was my daughter's suggestion to turn the truck into a Decepticon and we created an instagram account from the truck's point of view as a bit of Father/Daughter bonding.
