I've always figured nobody would really be interested in my builds because they are not as impressive as many others and I am pretty reserved by nature, but it wouldn't really be fair not to point out the positive contributions that others have done for me and also recognize the valued input from even more people. So this build is pretty much done but along the way I had many issues pop up and figured it would be a good way to condense everything into one thread. I'm going to reserve a few posts as I can't do this all at once, and I'll try to toggle the brain cells a bit to get it all out. I'll also be posting some obligatory dog pictures along the way.
The adventure title is a bit generic, I'm not an overlander, I just like to explore places I haven't been to. Ghost towns are something I really like to visit. I don't like heights so I don't like shelf roads but I made it through a few spots that were a bit unnerving. I am not a content creator so unfortunately there are probably many things I did not document but I will try to paint a mental picture at a minimum. I will edit the posts as I find more pictures and fit them in accordingly. I'm pulling pics off of three phones, two computers, and an old iPad that isn't working right.
Originally I was a Jeep guy, had three TJ's and two were 06 Rubicons. Decided to pursue a Tacoma build but the dealership wouldn't work to source a 5 VIN code so I gave up on that. Went after an 80 but after seeing what there was in the midwest eventually got into a 2001. Sold that to get into a mint 07 from Florida and that's where this started. I'll do my best to keep the timeline in the appropriate order but multiple phones may have mixed up some pictures.
The day it was bought...
