    Named after my family's 1998 F-150 we had growing up in Minnesota. I've had seven Toyota 4x4's since then and this is the first one that gives me the same feeling as hopping in that moss green workhorse and trailering boats, hauling brush, etc. The plan for this truck is to make it as go anywhere as possible without appearing like something that might have a youtube channel devoted to it.

    It's a 2011 crewmax grade 4x4 with the 5.7, purchased from the original owner in Ojai, CA with 175k on the clock. To me it's always more about the seller and feeling good about that than anything else and this was no exception.

    First photo is the night I bought it...

    It came with some overland equipment (victory 4x4 bed rack, smittybilt rtt, goose gear 60% rear seat delete) that I don't need so that's all been removed and posted for sale. First thing I wanted was new tires. I went with Toyo open country all terrains 285 75 18 in E. This photo is after install...

    The fit on the tires was tight up front so I removed the bumper and took the hacksaw to it. I wanted to cut it so it looked like something that could be factory. I think it turned out pretty good...

    I haven't gotten into it too much, looks like just 5100's in front and a block in the back. That's next...
