Alvin’s 2022 TRD Offroad Tacoma

Having a great experience with Toyota, there is no doubt that my next vehicle would be another Toyota line. Fall of 2021, I acquired my first truck a 2022 Tacoma TRD Off-road with the intention of using as a utility vehicle. 

Living in a suburban Chicago there’s no place for off-roading. While on a vacation I came across this Offroad Park in Indiana and met a group of gentlemen who helped me out with my first off-roading experience, I’ve tried and tested out what this vehicle can do (in stock). Right then after hitting the obstacle I knew that I needed an upgrade and protection for my undercarriage.

With the new hobby and Ioving the outdoors I met more and more people who had the same passion, I ended up off-roading more often that led to overlanding, I started from tenting in the truck bed then upgraded to RTT. 

I chose RCI rock sliders because of the 20° angle and a kick out that saved me numerous times and from being turtled a couple. I like the option of a tonneau adapter for bed rack that I was able to keep my bed cover which other companies do not offer, and most importantly the rear differential skid from hitting the rock, boulder, and logs. Unfortunately, I discovered RCI after purchasing my roof rack and full skids.

When time comes, my next upgrade would be front suspension, overland front bumper, and high clearance swing out rear bumper.
