Hey!

I've always wanted to do a build thread on a vehicle but I've never purchased something this new and started modding it immediately, so here we go. After doing some dispersed camping last summer I got hooked by the "why don't we always camp/hike out here" bug and started researching 4x4's. I finally settled on a 5th gen T4R and got to work on searching. I typically buy lightly-used vehicles 2-3 years old but the value proposition didn't work on the T4R since they lose so little value over the first 40-50k miles, so we decided to buy new. After working with 4-5 dealerships over the course of a couple of months we were able to secure our low-option 2021 Super White Off Road Premium in early January, and we couldn't be more pleased. The only option from the factory was a sunroof, which I was iffy on, but the price was right so we went with it.

This will be my wife's quasi-DD and our weekend adventure vehicle. We love camping/hiking/skiing and this will be our vehicle to get us back/forth/through all of the stuff we want to see around the PNW. We've got a ton of plans that will come to fruition over the next 2-3 years as we figure out what we want and need out of the truck. I'm looking forward to keep y'all updated as we progress!
