Enthusiast II

Everyone has to start their build thread off with an epic, filthy shot from the mall right?


Ok, now to get to the meat and potatoes. I am Adam, not new to overlanding but I am new to the west coast. Recently transplanted from Virginia to Northern California with my dog and my tacoma. The truck has come a long way and still is undergoing constant changes and modifications to maximize the reliability, performance and modularity that I can achieve. Please feel free to jump in, message, comment and express your opinions when need be. I have a vast background and am always up to lend a helping hand for anyone that needs it.

Nice rig!

What's up with the creeping/sleeping/homeless dude lying on the ground behind your truck (1st pic)? LOL
