all I have to ask is, What do you do now? lol! I've got 14 and some change in the AF. Dont know if I'm going to make it past 15, we'll see in a month or two. but I know I will be headed back up to Utah if I don't make it! Great build! makes me want another Tacoma again!

Thanks for following along!! I really appreciate it! Both Toyotas and Jeeps are cool depending on what the overall purpose is.
The military touches are coming
I have had a pintle hitch before and hated it - too loud and jerky. I currently have a standard 2" ball until my custom Max Coupler comes in. But in Moab and actually shocked at how good a 2" ball performs actually.
See above comment lol The pintle style military hitch I didn't like at all on my last trailer. New Max Coupler is on its way.
This was actually my buddies Nemo that I tried stealing from him lol
I do a lot of stuff lol I work at All-Pro Offroad now since December and it has really helped me focus on getting this build to where it is. I am also a photographer and designer but I don't have much time lately to tackle any personal projects let alone freelance.
You're so close to retirement, just stick it out!! Get a Tacoma and come bak to Utah to visit and lets go exploring!

Some quick shots I took today while in Moab for Easter Jeep Safari.

That's cool, yea I know but it's the whole HYT thing that might get me.....can't make it past 15 years as an E-5.....I studied wicked hard for the E-6 test this year, so we shall see how that goes! As for coming back to Utah no matter what happens I will be back! in the AF or not. I still might have the Land Rovers though. But we still can explore! I am down!

I believe he means a pintle mount for a machine gun. Great looking truck, otherwise.

Just looked through your build thread and saw the MTB, but no rack. Are you just tossing it in the back for now or do you have a more eloquent solution. I'm just asking because I routinely have both road bikes and MTBs in my truck and this continues to be a thorn in my plans for a RTT or Shell/Flippac. I've been considering a Yakima Spare Time, but want to minimize what hangs off the back.
According to the pictures in his last post, he has a mount built atop of his trailer.

I have the Thule Big Mouth mount on my Trailer. I do however need to figure out how I can more efficiently pack the wife's bike (I have another Thule rack for it) and my kids little chariot when I don't want to tow the trailer around. Probably will have to just keep tossing the them all in the bed of the truck though until I figure out how I want to mount these racks to my PackRack setup.
Stalker! lol just kidding, good eye!
Thank you so much for the love!! Instagram is definitely easier to keep "up-to-date" fast and easy.

looks good man. Love the truck. How did thos seat covers work out? I have some light canvas seat covers and they get quite hot in the summer and are not the comfy for long trips.

I haven't had a chance to tackle the seat covers yet but I have been reconsidering it lately. I did however just get a cover made for my PackRack using old military canvas - I'll get some pics posted soon.
I'm getting everything ready to head over to the Overland Expo.

My bed looks naked. Not used to seeing it without a shell or rack of some sort on it.
My All-Pro PackRack is back from the canvas shop.
I had an old piece of military canvas fitted to be a shade cover with a side roll-up option to give it a more genuine military look and feel.
Photos of this will be coming in after the Overland Expo this weekend where my truck and trailer will be posted up in the CVT booth.
