About
2015 Toyota TRD Pro. "Just one more thing...I swear!" What started out as a modest, but well earned and deserved new vehicle purchase has turned into what feels like a never-ending quest to make what was an already wonderfully capable rig just that much more so. I consider this literally a vehicle for adventures. And each and every time I take it out on a long trip I find little things to tweak, fix, and make better.
Everything has evolved based on experience gained, each trip teaching me something new. As a result the rig gets better and better, forcing me to want to travel more and more. Have dog and truck, will travel.
