My name is Mike, I'm from a small rural town in New Hampshire. I purchased my truck in November of 2015 from a dealership in Georgia. The truck was in excellent condition overall, with ~84,000 miles, no rust and only a few minor dings and scratches. Full-leather interior, Infinity sound system w/ navigation & 6-disc CD changer, sunroof, fold-flat rear-seats, heated front seats and power rear-window.
Currently, the truck is my daily driver, utility vehicle(it's a truck after all!) and off-road toy. Eventually it will be used as a expedition/overland vehicle as well. Therefore, the plan is to improve it's capabilities both on-road and off-road.
Out here, the trails are typically slow speed, boulder strewn, ocassionally muddy and many-times narrow. No high-speed stuff unfortunately.

Reading through build threads on various forums has helped me many times in the past, hopefully someone will find something here useful. A bit of shameless self-promotion may have something to do with it as well.
