The BEST feeling in the world!

  • Accomplishment. What started as just an idea tossed around in casual parking lot conversation turned to actual, physical, touchable reality several months later.. my mind is blown and my heart fueled with gratitude. To the tireless and kickass team at Talus Expedition Gear who made this even possible, I'll never be able to thank them enough.
    Now begins interior, which I am undoubtedly very hyped for. The interior is the final puzzle piece... the cherry on top... the pièce de résistance that will bring it all home!

    Beautiful badass baby truckhouse. I look at my pretty standard VDB TRD OR taco the way you look at your BRM, off road, camper, expedition, overland, flat bed, zombie apocalypse, bug out rig, taco. absolutely love it. Only thing I'd do different is to go pop up instead of clam shell. Plus add a locking door for your gas lid. And of course, you'll need a matching door for diesel tank lol

    That's one Gorgeous, Badass Taco!!
    Looking great! Just a thought -- maybe you want to add a wind deflector to the front of your roof-rack? I'm thinking like the Nissan Xterra has above the storage basket, just to help with airflow over the raised camper roof height.
    Looking forward to the interior build.
    Cheers!...from North Vancouver
