Almost 40k miles on it in a year and a half of ownership.

Good to hear from you. That looks to be a pretty capable Taco as is. So did you lift it or put bigger tires on it? I don't have an eye for stock Taco heights so it's hard to tell. It looks great either way. Nice, clean, and simple. I would seriously look at getting a Taco if my 4Runner died. It can be handy to have a truck bed sometimes.
Are you going to the NW Overland Rally this year?

Yeah I did Bilstein 5100s set fairly low and an add-a-leaf in the back, and I fit Falken Wildpeak 285s pretty easily. I’ll provably have to at least do a heavier duty leaf pack at some point because the AAL isn’t cutting it with all the extra weight. I will be at the Overland Rally, you going?

I will be there. That's right around the corner too. Both time wise and distance I suppose. LOL. I know a few people from 4Runners of Washington are going. This will be my first year so I am looking forward to it. I need to start planning it out a bit. I got my tent and sleeping situation squared away, but I need to start to look into food and cooking and start collecting some tasty beverages to bring along.
Do you bother running a full size spare tire? I am not sure what you can get away with in a Taco's stock spare location.

Cool well come say hi and have a beer. Not running a full size spare yet, but I should. I’ll probably just mount it in the bed.

Cool. Sounds like a plan man. Will you be hanging out with Alex Wilson and his GX? That should make it easier to find you.
