Build No. 2 // 2026 - Now

2024 Toyota Tacoma

The New-to-Me OFf-Road Machine

Through my full-time job at Chandler Truck Accessories, I had the opportunity to buy the Backwoods Adventure Mods shop truck, a 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Premium. Backwoods is our sister company, so this was a truck I was already familiar with before owning it was ever a consideration.

It was almost brand new, loaded with factory options, and already built by the Backwoods crew with upgraded suspension, full armor, a rooftop tent, and 37-inch tires. It was considerably further along than anything I’d expected to start with, and the deal was hard to pass up.

I was grateful for the opportunity, even if it meant saying goodbye to the 2019 Tacoma I’d spent years building. This truck starts from a very different place, but there’s still plenty to figure out, change, and make my own.
