Figured I might as well start a build thread with all the big plans I hope to one day do, so here goes nothing. Everything here will either be over-explained or poorly-explained, so please reach out if you have questions. If you'd like to see pics and keep up, give me a follow on Instagram too!

Buying It:
I bought this as my first car on 7/24/2019 with 299k miles on it. It's a 2003 V6 Sport Edition. With it being a 2003 model, that makes my car almost the same age as me! While many would laugh at even considering buying a car with so many miles - come on, it's a Toyota, it had just got broke in. And since all the other cars we looked at were pretty rusty, my dad and I figured a lot of miles with no rust was better than less miles with a lot of rust.
End Goal / Intentions:
My long-term goal is to hopefully get this thing in a condition to do some real overlanding, where it's just me and some friends in the middle of nowhere, but since this is my daily-driver for a while, it's just gonna be built for shorter camping and off-roading trips for now
For reference, here she is stock (7/24/19):
And where she is as of 3/7/21 (pics may be blurry when resized, click them to enlarge):
