My Tacoma aka "Stitch" (like the Disney character) is what I wish to be buried in. I'm serious! Ever since the second generation of Tacoma came out I have wanted a blue one. So when the chance arose for me to take over someone else's overland project I went for it. To this day I still look for every excuse to drive this truck. The old saying, "if you don't look back at your vehicle to admire it as you walk away, you're doing it wrong" applies here. I am a converted Jeep guy and I seriously love this truck.
Stitch is used for long "overland" style trips, to haul mountain bikes, dogs, and kayaks, as well as anything else I need. I do hit the trails offroading too. If you ever see me at URE feel free to say hello. I do most of my own maintenance and modifications and try to keep things as budget friendly as possible without skimping on the important stuff.
Sidenote: I am a weekend warrior with this whole overland thing so I won't throw that word around a lot.
Here is my 2007 Toyota Tacoma as it sits:
List of current modifications:
ARB color matched front bumper
Warn 8,000 lb winch (steel cable)
OME 2" lift w/ coilovers upfront

trusty ole High-Lift jack
CVT Mt. Bachelor roof top tent
CB radio
Interstate deep cell battery
mud flap delete
Some Blue Ridge Overland Gear scattered throughout. Gotta support local business!
Trasharoo
