    Hey guys I've owned 4 taco's in a row and have been on here a long time but just haven't created a profile. My newest acquisition is a 2014 TRD Sport that I'm building for light expo. I've owned the new body style tacoma the last two years and really missed my '14 so I bought another '14. The '14 Tacoma I recently purchased came with the old style BFG's, TRD exhaust package, Chrome tip, and tonneau cover.

    Here's the list of Mods I currently have Toyota installing right now:
    1. ARB Deluxe Bullbar
    2. Warn M8000
    3. Hella Rallye 4000s w/LED light switch in cab
    4. OME 2" suspension kit, to offset the weight of the bullbar.

    I'm very picky about my trucks and the reason for light offload use is I don't want to deal with my rig getting all scratched up. So going to hit the logging trails here in MI for some camping, trail riding and snow exploration. My future wish list: new matching fiberglass cap, offroad led's up there and a nice rack for the RTT.

    Past trucks owned:
    Nov 15 - Dec 17: 2016 Tacoma TRD sport w/BFG A/Ts from new, LoPro QT bed cover, led fogs
    Dec 13 - Nov 15: 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport wBFG A/Ts from new, LoPro QT bed cover, led fogs
    May 10 - Dec 13: 2007 Tacoma Ext. Cab, 5 speed 4wd with BFGs.

    Whereabouts in MI are you located. I'm on the west side(Muskegon area). Doesn't seem to be many of us on this side of the state.

    Awesome. I lived over there for about five years while I went to GVSU. I'm not much of a city person but I like that one. Not sure if you're a member/interested or not but my buddy is working on setting up a meet and greet in GR on the Michigan overland FB page. There's a handful of us Toyota enthusiasts that will probably be there. Will be T4R's and FJ's mostly but another Taco guy would be cool. Welcome to Tacomaworld.
