We’re kicking off our very first featured build with a Tacoma that’s been everywhere and done just about everything. Meet Bill LeGoullon and his trusty overland rig — a 2008 Toyota Tacoma that’s been exploring the backroads, trails, and wide-open landscapes of AZ, NM, CO, UT, CA, NV, OR, and WA for well over a decade.
Bill picked up this truck brand-new in 2008 and has been transforming it piece by piece into a capable, adventure-ready machine. This is a true slow-build story — one that’s evolved through countless miles, road trips, and off-road challenges.
