Hello all! I'm not new to the forum, but I got a truck back in October and never properly introduced myself. I apologize ahead of time for the extremely long post, but this is the story and I appreciate you sticking through!

My name is Josh, I live in Phoenix AZ, and I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4 DCSB in Cavalry Blue.

It all started with a 2016 inferno TRD Sport. I had that from June of 2017 to October 2019. I built this one up, and ended up transferring my lift/tires/lights/racks over to the Cavalry Blue one I have now.

Here's the beginning of the Cav, still stock but added the Prinsu Cabrack, KB Voodoo 10" bed rack, and TRD Faux grille of course, and Tactilian Flag Magnets.

Next was the lift and tires. My friend and I transferred everything over from the inferno to the cavalry in one day. I started with Level 8 MK6 wheels (17x9,-10 offset) wrapped in BFG K02 tires (285/70/17).

Added my lights next after installing the Switch Pros.

A few months back, I went to Mesa AZ and visited Gold Dog Tents. They got me setup with their 6 foot awning. Super high quality and easy setup, if anyone is looking for an awning, hit them up!!

Had to change some things around on the roof to make the awning work. All of my small camping items (utensils, Coleman stove, cups, etc.) are in the black case up top. Hard to access when it's on the same side as the awning.

Next, my dad and I removed the backseats, and built this platform. We made it so there are hinges towards the rear, and the whole platform can flip up when needed. I have a pup and a fridge that will be back there, so this was needed for what I'm planning this summer.

In April 2020 I picked up a set of Fifteen52 Turbomac HD's, 17x8.5, 0 offset, and paired them up with the Toyo M/T's, 285/70/17.

And fast forward to last weekend up in the White Mountains of Arizona (the truck is blue I promise, it's very dusty out there).
