There may be plenty of off-road adventure vehicles out on the trails and roads, but the great thing about them is that no two are outfitted exactly the same.
Each rig is built and personalized for its owner’s purpose and fashioned to his or her taste and for that reason, they’re fascinating to look at and dissect. In this edition of Onboard Utility (OBU), we dive into George Fernandez’ modified 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road.
If this truck looks familiar, it’s because you may recognize it and George from his YouTube channel, @Bustabeatgeorge. George utilizes his Tacoma for camping trips as well as accessing trails and other wildlands while creating content for his YouTube channel as well as simply enjoying the great outdoors.
This pick-up is equipped with plenty of gear including a Alucab Canopy Camper complete with Goose Gear drawer units. This rig is even equipped with a fireplace for those cold nights. As you can tell, there’s plenty to check out in this OBU; let’s take a closer look.
