Guess I can start a "build" thread now that I've got a couple things done to my new to me Tacoma. Bought a house and a ring this year so mods might be slow for a little while but my goal is just the best for me camping truck. Want to explore forest service roads then setup camp next to multiple hiking trails or fishing spots. Not looking to turn this thing into a rock crawler or the ultimate off roader.

I started out with a 2016 TRD OR but an F250 w/ 36ft toy hauler ran in the back of me and pushed me into a Kia:

After being told it was totaled I then moved on to a 2017 TRD OR in white:

Fridge build. So far...

Have the platform built. I did not want to drill a hole anywhere inside my Taco ( not yet at least... ) so I ran power underneath to a BlueSea 12v socket with a quick connect so I can unplug power then remove 2 bolts and the platform is out of the way. The spray glue is still very noticeable in the under side pic but has since dried gone.

Haven't ran wire from my battery yet because I'm stuck on selecting a battery. Leaning towards spending the extra and getting an Odyssey over Optima. Any suggestions? I will eventually be ordering a Prinsu rack and installing a 100w solar panel to help with charge. In the mean time I'll make sure my NOCO is always with me. Once the fridge gets in and I select a batter I'll update!
