    Nice! I’ve been watching a lot of their videos, pretty cool. They just added the tundra to their fleet, it looks like they got skid plates for the LCA

    I saw this vid too yesterday. Pretty nice build so far with the 3.0 icons the K-9 roof rack and that front bumper.

    Just wish I had that much money to dump into my truck at once. Also good to have connections.

    I thought I heard 'em say 2.0, that's when I kinda lost interest.

    That episode might have been boring, but you should try watching some of their actual expedition videos. @dcsleeper408 and I both enjoy them.

    Anyone notice the CBI lower control arm skids they installed? I have only seen ones for Tacomas until now.

    hmm. couple of interesting things in there. i like the mount they came up with for the HAM faceplate but they lost the rear view mirror. i dunno. maybe that doesn't matter so much. also, stock leaf packs and no shackles. curious to see if they wind up changing that.

    interested to see where they take this. they've been pretty smart about building out their previous vehicles.

    now, most importantly, how do i get their job? :cool:

    also, i want a prinsu rack for my truck. cab and topper just like the taco version. i know they've either sold or contracted out to cbi. how do we make it happen? a t-rex whip crack might be necessary...

    Waiting on a roof topper as well... really hating drilling mass holes and dropping headliner though :-\

    I was thinking the same thing about the ham mount, but they are probably putting a camper shell thing on the back that would make the rear view mirror useless anyway.
    Stock leaf pack is strange, we'll see if they figure that one out once they start adding more weight.

    i believe the prinsu cab rack for the taco requires drilling. not sure if you'd have a way around that. for me, it doesn't matter as i've got to drill a hole for the HAM antenna anyway. dropping the headliner will be unpleasant though.

    I did like that idea too for sure but I think I am going with the RAM Tough Track. Have you heard good or bad about that beside having to drill into the dash?

    I've talked to Kurt from EO alot online, he's a real nice guy and got me to join the Expedition Utah group. Cool to see they have a Tundra now!

    Wow! That's some commitment, drilling a hole in the roof.
    BTW, thanks so much for posting the info about your phone mount. I copied you and couldn't be happier. The phone isn't going anywhere, I tested it thoroughly off-road.

    I saw this and am happy to see a Tundra on their channel. These guys have some serious coin wrapped up in their vehicles not to mention their shop. I like their videos. More entertaining than most of what's on TV.

    One other thing that’s been bugging me about their build. The TRD exhaust. I wouldn’t want that hanging down behind me. I figured they would have done something to tuck it up a bit. But, I guess sometimes you need to do a few thing just because you want to.

    It sounded like TRD had sent them parts to bolt on. If that is the case, of course they would put it on. After dragging my pipes on a few trails, I cut them at the axle.

    I'm surprised they didn't go with RXT leafs as well. Bet once they add the topper and RTT they will, I'd think that's gotta be at least 400 additional pounds when you take those into account.

    Just watched the new episode of Overlander today, the flatbed and PCOR cargo carrier from Patriot Campers is downright badass!

    EDIT: Took a few screenshots from the episode for you guys that haven’t watched it yet.
