Working title "Raven" for the new shop truck. Did a little gravel/forest road seat time run last week getting the feel for the truck and how it drives. Going to be a triple purpose build out. It's my daily driver first so will get some quality of life upgrades. Second job is an Appalachian adventure rig, so relatively low with 34/35 pizza cutters armor and still working on what type of bed solution I want if it's a rack, topper (hard or soft) simple bed cover or some combination of rack and cover. The final function while not 100% set will be as a haul rig to keep a very well built crawler in the family.

Looking forward to the build out and adventures in this truck.

New rig who dis?

(Insert project name here)
2017 Tundra SR5 Double Cab with the TRD package.
4wd with the 5.7 stock as can be with only 61k on the clock.

Perfect blank canvas for a new daily, exploration and possibly crawler hauler rig.

Can't wait to start working on this rig and getting back out again.

Don't worry, We've never been lost forever.

A few shots of our buddy Pat's JKUR Recon from our recent Windrock adventure. Proof you can have fun in a stock rig. Hell, he even did one of the Jeep badge of honor trails, Trail 26, with it.

Sure 35s and a little lift would help but that's because he was trying to wheel with a Toyota mini truck on 37s dual cases and all the other goodies that 's truck has.

We often get asked what's the best platform or what's the best mod and we always answer the same way: the 4wd rig in your driveway, good tires, and seat time. There is nothing you can do to your rig that is better than wheel time.

Had a blast with last weekend. He brought up his 88? Toyota truck to to help me celebrate turning 40. All in I think we did about a 100 miles of trials over 3 days and gave this 16 year project a very sold test. The itch to build a rocklander is strong.

The Rig Specs
88? Xcab 22RE 5 speed with dual cases, 5:29s in the axles with real Bobby Long longfields up front with an air locker, rear is a lunch box. long travel leafs and front hanger, custom tube bed all sitting on TRD wheels with 37x12.5 KM2s and a whole bunch of stuff I forgot.

While not an overland/offroad rig 20 years later this is still the best worst decision I've ever made. Bought a new 2006 Nissan Frontier that then became a catalyst for some of the best friends and memories ever. Hours wrenching with those friends turned into product development on the D40 platform. Those early development cycles spured the interest if you want something, make it concept.

We all have that one thing that sparks the flame and sets your life on a totally different path. Like they say you are one decision away from being a totally different person. Sometimes that's buying a truck.

Cleaning up some back inventory.

Have 3 sets of rear door molle panels for 3rd Gen 4 runners. $35.00 + tax shipped in the US. Includes mounting hardware.

DM me if you are interested.

Wil update when sold out. Highly unlikely I will do another production run on these panels so if you are interested now is the time to grab a set.

Helped install a swing out today. Only needed a little modification to one part. Had to bevel the stop for the swing out to clear a weld so the spindle would drop in.

He's got some more gear to go the swing before his next big trip.

If you are in the greater Knoxville TN area and need a hand on an install drop us a line. We are big supporters of classic mod days and working in your driveway on your own rig. Also brings back a lot of memories as really got started in the off-road world working on Frontiers.

Spending the weekend with family in WNC. While not a true overland adventure it is still great to spend time with family in the mountains and support the communities so devastated by last year's flooding. From 36° North Overland we hope you all have a safe and joyful holiday season. We've got some big adventures planned for 26.
