Introduction to the Prelander Build (IG = @desert.recon)

[loading_name]

Hello everyone, its about time I introduced myself. I've been on the forum for quite some time but have rarely used it, in fact this is my first post. Anyway my name is Tarren, I'm from northern Utah and I have a 2017 TRD Offroad. This vehicle is purposefully built the way it is to be a jack of all trades and a master of nothing, as you'll see through my images, the truck is what I consider a Weekender Prelander and daily driver-esque build. Excessive, but it does what I need it to do to get my family to and froe on our adventures. Whether we're sending it down the Pony Express, riding mountain roads and fire trails or taking the kids camping for the weekend, this truck does it all, not amazingly well, but a lot better than most.
