    Hey guys, just joined the forum today. I'm an engineer over at Hellwig Products and just got moved from R&D to Marketing so I wanted to join some forums to keep up on trends, etc. Don't worry, I'm not going to try to sell you stuff. I do want to be available if you have any questions though so don't hesitate to shoot me a message if anything comes up!

    Otherwise, I'm into offroading, muscle cars, beer and cycling.

    This is me, sorry it's not in front of a Tacoma :eek:

    And this isn't quite a Tacoma, but it is a precursor! My 85 Pickup offroad toy...
