About Warthog, and me I guess.

Hey there folks. My name is Cameron, I'm 23 years old and this is my build thread for my 2019 Tacoma SR SW DCSB, officially dubbed "Warthog." A little about me; I run an Instagram page, where I try to post as frequently I can, for work, I am a Supervisor for a Cash Logistics company. I come from Milwaukie, Oregon so if any of yall live in the area or work down on Swan Island and see me, don't be shy to flag me down! I'd love to chat. I was also the winner of Arc1 Industries "Make Your Taco, Not so Stocko" sweepstakes.

I would also like to take the time to say my dearest THANK YOU to Tyler for creating such a positive community. It truly is great to see.
Also, thank you for the formatting idea. I saw yours and thought "hey, I need this organization."

SIDENOTE: This thread is going to be updated and revamped countless amounts of times. This is just all I wanted to put into it at this time.

Day I bought WarthogWarthog as of July, 2020

Nice truck. Please allow me to recommend smittybilt's 10k h2o winch. Have had two on separate vehicles. Great winch, nice wireless features, as waterproof as you can get, and about $500 give or take.
 
Hey Cameron (again). Just curious, where are you getting your work done? Or are you doing it yourself? I'm not looking to go too crazy with mods but I am interested in getting some things done and I don't really have a garage set up to work on my Taco.

Thank you! I wanna say I had a smittybilt on my old 2G 4Runner and loved it. I'll have to check it out!

I do mostly all the work myself. For now, I refuse to do suspension myself as I don't have tools to do it at the moment. I recommend Wanderlust Overland or if you want to do it yourself, there is a garage that you can rent out that has lifts and all the tools you need. I think it is in Tigard but I'll have to take a look again
 
Nice looking ride! It's good to see that someone is rocking the 255/75r17 KO2s!

I had 255/80r17 KM3s on my Jeep before I put 35s on it. They were about 33". You could go that route if you can't find a 34" skinny. BFG also makes a 34" KO2, but they're expensive.

That's what I've been seeing 😭.. What did your 255/80s run you? That might be my best bet

They set me back about $1100 for 5. 4WD.com had a special - buy 4 get 1 free or something like that when I bought them. Also, they were KM2s not KM3s - my bad.
 
Another win for the base trucks being built up!🍻

I dig warthog, although you won the arc1 contest, Warfab makes a bumper that is called the warthog and that’s just fitting.

Regardless, solid details in the build thread 👍
