    Hey All,

    New member to the forums here! I am fairly adventurous and while attempting to get healthy, I started an outdoor adventure blog. To support these adventures, I purchased a 2012 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner with some added essentials. I added:

    3" Rough Country Lift
    17x9 Fuel Throttle
    Toyo Open Country AT II's
    Rigid Grille with 20" SR Series Light Bar
    Roof Rack
    Rock Rails

    I recently applied for a personalized Arizona Plate 'SoftTaco' and was turned down because it was 'deemed offensive'. I responded, have you not eaten soft tacos? I am a little bitter, sorry. Here is a shot of my Toyoda while I was fly fishing off the West Fork of the Black River! I am always searching for new adventures to write about in my blog and will take any recommendations!

    Thanks for the info Aw9d! I've not really done much 'off-roading' per se, but definitely would like to join up on a weekly meet for sure!

    "SoftTaco" lol classic, it doesn't surprise us it was turned down... almost everything is deemed offensive in one way or another.

    Great looking "SoftTaco" though and thank you for all your support!

    We got you added to our Rigid Grille Thread also :D
