Long time Lurker, finally taking the plunge!

Dorlan · Mar 18, 2019

Quick history: I picked up my first Taco back in '11 (a '07 Black DblC TRD Sport). Around that time, I started lurking these forums looking for tips, tricks, and fun experiences to vicariously live through as I never had a chance to really get out and really play. Too broke and not yet brave enough to venture off road. I ended up trading into a '17 Black 4Runner Limited for the wife and kids as the Taco just wasn't big enough and the wife's car was well past it's last leg.

After about a year of only 1 vehicle and with the oldest finally starting school, we needed a second vehicle. With the OK from the wife to pick up the Tacoma of my choice, we headed out to look around. I didn't expect to make a purchase the same week, but the local stealership had just received an '18 TRD Pro in Calvary Blue. I was sold the second the sales rep said "TRD Pro". Wife fell in love from about 100 yards away. She "pushed" me into closing the deal the following day.

After a year of teetering on heading out to one of the off road parks near by, I finally broke down this past weekend. Apart from those moments where I'm yelling in my head "No effing way I'm fitting between those trees" and "please, please, please stop sliding! That tree is only a hairs breath away!", best 6 hours I've spent in some time!

Due to that and wanting to get more involved/active with a local Taco group, decided to become an official member and start poking my 2¢ around here. So, if anyone is around/near Louisville and cares to bring me into the fold, please and thank you!

TL : DR
Took the plunge to become more active in the Taco world.
Hello World!
And Pictures, of course. Pictures make everything that much better.

My old '07, loved the hoods on these. Stood out a lot more.
