I'm new here but not new to the Offroad/Overland scene. I wheel a modded out Nissan Xterra and I've recently put on a long travel kit on it.

Oh man, I bought two vehicles within the last year, and I haven't updated this... So here we go:
My 2017 Suzuki DR-Z400SS:
I've got some Wolfman soft bags for it, and a set of dirt wheels. Currently building out a smarter tool kit, and lightening the bike of unnecessary weight. I can load it up onto my Tacoma with a MotoTote hitch carrier.
My 2003 Tacoma TRD SR5 4X4 with a 5-speed:
Found this a few months ago, decent enough price, and only 133k mi. So far I've taken the Bestop, and some accessories off of CP TACO, and placed them onto this. I had rock sliders installed, and swapped out the rear suspension for OME Dakars and NitroCharger Sport shocks. Gonna do the front suspension next, also OME, with mid level springs. Only downside is that it's got a pretty crappy clear coat, resulting in a bad paint job. So I've got license plates on order: BDPNTJB.
Anyone want to buy a 2002 Tacoma PreRunner with 210k mi and a HG that's going out? haha

Just did the border patrol bumper cut for more clearance and I dig it but ended up buying a bolt on ADD bumper that'll go on soon.
Aside from that I'm going to be focusing on the basics and less expensive things for now. I'm mostly a day trip type but will be camping out and going on longer trips soon with the wife.

Nice Rubicon. Those pictures remind me of when I was driving for CFI many moons ago. Which actually stood for "Contract Freighters Inc." But our Canadian counterparts said it stood for "Canadian Freight Interceptors". I'm sorry guys. I just went where I was sent. But for a few years I was stuck on the route of the NAFTA yard in Laredo, Texas. Where it was 75 degrees in January. Hauling Mexican freight to the middle of Canada where it was 8 feet of snow and so cold my thermometer just read "You wouldn't believe it". That was fun times indeed.

Full size tempurpedic bed in the back. The window block outs have been replaced with 1 inch foam covered with a camo fabric they can be seen in a photo below.
The window covers below are fitted to rear door and rear side and the back windows full time and in the summer the inside temps are about 20 degrees cooler after sitting in the sun. In the winter the inside temps stay much warmer when sleeping inside. Rear view camera takes the place of a rear view mirror.

The low profile is considerably stronger and allows for lower mounting of a basket or canoe on top.
