Hey y'all.
Taylor here from Longview Texas.
We, my wife and I, have two new rigs ready for mild builds.
16 t4r
17 Tacoma TRDOR
I have some off-road experience and some camping experience but no overlanding. I thoroughly enjoy both and have been lurking for quite some time. Glad to be here and ready to learn.
Plans for each rig
The t4r will be built slower and more gradual as the kids are 3 and 5 months. So they won't be going any time soon. The Tacoma we are taking on a weekend trip in a couple months, so I'll get a better idea on what I feel is priority.
But these are listed as what i feel are priority for the off roading and dispersed camping close to me.
---------------------------------------------
T4r- family camping rig for four plus a dog or two
Frankenstein roof rack/aux work/reverse/camp lights 360°
Likely 5100s/cornfed lift
larger all terrain tires. Likely cooper at3
Baja designs squadron pro fogs(amber?)
collapsible sleeping platform that doubles as drawer system/storage in the rear
--------------------------------------------
If I can get my wife on board with overlanding/off-roading
>>>
On board air
Sliders/skids
Depending on wife- upgrade to icon suspension.
Tacoma-
255/85/16 st maxx-
Baja designs squadron pro fogs(amber?)
Figure out solution for additional aux/work/camp lighting 360°
on board air
Skids
Sliders
Truck cap
bed storage/drawer system
Suspension will be addressed based on weight added and need/want for better performance. But likely icon.
Camping duties will be out of a geo ground tent.
Awnings will be made out of tarps and lines as needed at camp sites. Most places we will visit locally will have trees abundantly.
Cooking will be on a Coleman camp stove until I can get a skottle( hopefully soon)
I think have plans covered.
Now that it's written down. I have some tangible goals.
Thanks for having me!
