Hello! I'm Josh and I drive a 2009 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-road. It started life as my weekend-warrior rock crawler that turned more and more into a camping truck.

It's equipped with Full OME suspension, ARB front bumper, Warn Winch, 4xInnovations armor and rear bumper. The RTT is a cheap tent I found on Craigslist on some bed bars. Fridge is also a cheap one. I can go into more detail if you want, just let me know.

I've done several camping trips, a couple with OB members.

Anywho, here's some pics:

@Beretta4x4 Welcome Josh. I lived in Killeen/Harper Heights Nollanville for close to 8 years. Temple Canyon was one of my favorite places to explore.

Nice! I've been in the Killeen/Temple area for the last 8 years, myself.

My old F-350 quad cab is probably still sitting at Norton’s Garage in Nollanville... big Red Dually Diesel.

I don’t care if it is or not... the guy ripped me off installing a complete 7.3 Turbo engine into it... stuck the engine into his truck, then told me the one I bought had 2 dead cylinders when my friend pulled it out of his own truck after he got t-boned.

Thanks! I'm not sure if I'll do a build thread here. I've got a big-ish one on Tacomaworld that I keep up.

Lol, I'm sure it's not worse than Kansas. I like wide, open, flat country as much as I like forested mountains.

 

[M Rose]

The south west corner of Nebraska was pretty, but the rest of the state was a long boring trip... I slept through it... and I was driving... Kansas I loved.

Interesting. I guess I'll check out the southwest corner.
