    Hello all,

    After a few months of digging and interrogating my backcountry friends, I just put a deposit on an incoming '23 TRD Off Road Premium. As my handle suggests, my main application is getting to off-the-grid trailheads, along with recreational travel on roads requiring high clearance and low-range 4WD. Having enough room to sleep in the back is a huge plus.

    I'm here mainly to dig deeper on some basic mods and accessories (tires, air pump, backup power) to maximize my chances of successfully finishing whatever I start.

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone. My 4R now shows up in the Toyota Tracker, which is a relief. It should reach the dealership in the next week. I better get some real tires ordered.

    The day after the tracker pushed it out another week, I got the call. I might be able to pick it up in two days. :yes:
