Ishi (WIP)

Ishi is my extensively modified 2019 Toyota 4Runner.

Mostly complete map of my travels within the US between 2019 and 2022. I spent much of those three years exploring, hiking and camping on public land all over the western US. The total distance covered was closter to 110k miles with quite a few of those off-pavement.

Teardown before rebuilding. This was done in two parts with most of the suspension and other exterior work completed in 2023. I gutted, cleaned and rebuilt the interior over the spring of 2024.
