    2019 quicksand Tacoma trd offroad
    What’s up guys my name is Rob. I just bought a 2019 Tacoma trd off-road in quicksand. Hopefully I can be of use to this community as I have an extensive background in motorsports wiring, motorsports plumbing, and engine building.

    I haven’t been active on a forum for about 8 years now, so please forgive me if I come off as a newbie because it’s been a while.

    About me: I have been in the automotive industry for about 12 years. I build and design race cars for a living. I have owned and built several off-road trucks over the years but never a brand new Tacoma and I’m pretty excited due to the fact that it’s pretty much completely new territory to me. I enjoy going fast through the dirt but I also enjoy crawling and exploring, so I feel that this truck was the perfect platform for me to start with.

    Anyways, I appreciate any and all advice I’m given to help with the process of getting this thing where I want it to be!

    Thank you sir. Yeah I used to build trucks mainly for going fast. My last build was a center mounted f150, prior to that was a retired class 7 Tacoma I saved from some dude that was ruining it with crappy wiring and horrible welds haha.
