HongerVenture's T100
I'll start off with the current status of my rig:
1998 T100 SR5 Xtracab 4x4
- White (I think there are bonus points for that)
- Automatic Transmission (4:30 gearing in the diffs)
- Bilstein HD shocks
- Manual locking hubs
- Rhino-liner
- Extended diff. breathers
- Michelin LTX M/S 265/70R16's
- Custom front skidplate (with ricey Toyota logo)
- TJM T-15 Bullbar (with custom mounting brackets for extra strength)
- Milemarker M9000 winch
- Leer camper shell + roof rack (as needed for camping, otherwise in storage)
- Camping deck in the shell for sleeping on and storage under
- Engel 45 Model Fridge/Freeze (mounted in Xtracab area of cab)
Upcoming Mods
- TRD knock-off transmission cooler and temp gauge (on my project shelf)
- Rancho 26mm HD Torsion Bars (next to my project shelf)
Planned Mods (that means I'm still dreaming about the $ to buy these mods)
- Custom sliders and rear bumper
- 32" BFG All-terrain KO's (I can do these before lift)
- ARB locker in rear
- 1.5-2" ball-joint spacer in front (big maybe)
- Custom Alcans for 1.5-2" lift (maybe) and 500 extra pounds payload capacity
Trips have included a day trip to the Attica Badlands OHV Park, the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and several trips to the Tennessee mountains (Smokeys and Cumberland Plateau). Attica was a great run because it helped me realize that rock crawling and OHV Parks aren't quite the 4x4 adventure I want. Vehicle dependent exploration is what my wife and I enjoy. We are determined to find opportunities close to home (Tennessee and West Virginia to start) to do this while we wait for $ and vacation time to allow a trip out west.
A few pictures from our recent TN trip:
Notice my beautiful blue camper shell. Well, when the price is right (pronounced free) you can't be picky about color. Originally I was planning on painting the camper shell to match. The mismatched colors kinda bug my sense of symmetry (I'm an engineer). However, the look has grown on me for some strange reason and it even evokes a quirky nickname for the truck, "Bluebonnet." Now the plan is to leave it blue and adorn it with stickers from our various trips.
