The last thread was archived after 40+ pages so I figured I'd start up a new one.
I had a 2015 Tacoma that I was getting setup for overlanding but it went with the divorce. Last fall I rented a Jeep Rubicon and did a bunch of trails out in the Ouray / Telluride area which got me fired up to build another rig. I went looking for another vehicle but really needed something that I could also use to tow a ski boat on the highway long distances. Finally decided the Tundra was the route I wanted to take. After lots of looking I recently picked up a 2019 Tundra that I'm looking to setup for overlanding. Lots of ideas and plans for this one.  Expedition Essentials Ram mount  I have RCI rock sliders ordered. Also have a Switch Pro's mount and CBI ditch light mounts waiting to go in. Pretty excited! |

Making some solid headway on my crawler/camper/overlander multipurpose rig. I generally hammock camp, but wanted to build something I could sleep in the back of with storage, onboard water, a fridge and a camp kitchen setup but with minimal fluff otherwise, that could also get shit done on the trail AND be able to drive long distances in relative comfort. There's not much Land Rover left at this point but so far specs are:
Cummins R2.8, GM 10-speed auto Dynatrac Pro-Rock 60 rear Dynatrac 44/60 hybrid front 35 spline ARB's F/R 37's Linked F/R 12" travel Fox components Lots of Baja Designs lighting Finishing up the front end now, just need to finalize all my steering and panhard then it'll sit on its own weight. Just scored a crusty old Warn 8274 that I rebuilt and will be using in place of the XD9000 pictured.
