someday i will come up with a name for my rig, but for now she is nameless
I bought her in October 2018, a very mildly used 2016 Tacoma TRD OR 4x4 v6 Auto with 20k miles..
came with yokohama geolandar AT tires, and factory predator steps.
I ordered a tonneau cover to keep the snow out of the bed. (mod #1)
checking the local trails, being cautious, learning capabilities of the truck
Fast forward to Fall 2019, I had bouhgt myself a RTT & KBvoodoo rack for a group trip to NMW in May of 2019, was a great trip.. and started the modding bug..
in October 2019 (before this pic) I bought new wheels and tires.
*Method Racing MR305NV 17x8.5 0offset in bronze with 265/70/17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac C-load tires
*Cobra 75WXST CB radio
*Baofeng UV-5R+ radio with a Nagoya 771 antenna (no ham license yet, so I only use FRS frequencies).
did a trip to NMW and decided I needed a mount for my tablet for mapping, and using Gaia/google maps offline maps.
February 7th 2020 I ordered an SSO slimline Hybrid bumper.....
COVID - 19 happened..........................
I went on a little adventure after winter on that same trail pictured above... and trashed my predator steps.... ooops so i hopped on TW, and facebook.. looking for sliders... someone refered me to a NJ craigslist posting for a set of Mobtown offroad HD bolt on sliders.... I was under Mandate through my work not to leave the state.... I had a buddy in NH that was not doing anything for a day, he headed to NJ, I paid through paypal for the sliders, then he drove up to Maine and I met him in Kittery, Me... I then the next monday sent them to powdercoating in Auburn, Me.... less than a week later....
fast foreward to June 9th 2020 bumper arrived raw steel SSO slimline hybrid... arrived.. very well packaged..
I added 3m grip tape to teh sliders.. also so i dont scratch up the top surface of the slider bars.
off to sandblasting, and powdercoat it went this one took 3 weeks to return to me, and I was also on wait for my winch smitybilt X20 10 comp winch, and BD 20 S8 lightbar but here she is about 4 weeks ago mounted.. still need to wire up the lightbar, looking for a switching solution... thinking the six shooter..... this pic is from a meetup in Wells, Me with NAC (Northeast Adventure Company) I met up with Benjamin Reed Senning, he was installing the suspension I was interested in...
