tacocamper's PNW Tacoma Build

Next mod is to install the transfer case, transmission and fuel tank aluminum ski plates, still debating on painting these or leaving them as is. I will be doing a couple more layers of paint and then install by sliders on Thursday. Things are coming together and I have schedule the pickup of my GFC camper in mid April. Took a week off to explore Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.

Few pics of the RCI skids in boxes that will be installed tomorrow, decided to not paint them and keep it straight aluminum

And thanks to @robdaman I got a cabin air filter ordered, will do a side by side comparison when it comes in to show how dirty it is.

Goal today was to install all my remaining skids, unfortunately I broke all the sockets I needed so it’ll wait for another day.

Not the greatest pictures but I installed the fuel tank, transmission and transfer case skids.

This thing is sweet, best cold weather blanket you can buy. Started planning the trip to Montana to pickup the GFC and the girlfriend is terrified of the cold so this is a nice addition to a good sleeping bag. Currently have a week set aside to explore Montana (Yellowstone, Grand Teton's), Idaho and east Oregon.

This should be better than the stock fog lights. Should be an easy install here soon!

Installed the Baja Designs Squadron fog lights and man these are way better than stock! Not a very good pic but I’ll update more later.

Scheduled my pickup of my GFC camper, super stoked about this and can't wait to get it installed in a few weeks. This has been a very long wait of 260 days since I purchased this back in July 2018. We will be making the trek out to Montana and travel through Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Boise and through out eastern Oregon.

Decided on a quick one night with the girl and dogs, first time in many years just through up a ground tent and sleeping in it. Ended up getting stuck solo and had to call for back up. Tried using the winch but ended up pulling up a couple trees.

Finally took a few pictures of the sliders I installed a few weeks ago.
