    Im going to Saw Wee Kee Park today in Oswego, IL. I havent been there to off road (only on a mountain bike/ dirt bike) but have heard there are a few trails. Also possibly Palos Hills- little closer to Chitown, in the South Suburbs.

    Badlands is okay, but on the small side and you'll run out of stuff to run before too long. The Cliffs you should stay away from, lots of mud and v-notches. Flat Nasty is about 6 hours away in MO and Harlan/Windrock/AOP are all about 9 hours away in KY an TN. Not much happening in IL/WI/IN/MI as far as wheeling anything more than fire roads goes.

    That’s cool, I ride there (both places) more often Palos. My mountain bike though.....I didn’t know there are trails to actually drive your truck.

    Hello Tacoma brothers and sisters!
    I've been lurking for awhile and finally made my first post from a MESO purchase. My truck is pretty much stock and didn't want to post anything until I could really contribute, I'll post photos soon after I wash my truck. (only thing to really share is Borla Exhaust, which there's not too many reviews out there for)

    Anyways, I mainly wanted to post that a guy is selling his TRD Pro Faux Grill on craigslist for $90.00 incase anyone is interested. I WAS going to buy it but got shut down by my wife as I have a custom grill I am working on (Is having 3 grills really necessary?!).

    https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/pts/d/hartland-grill-for-toyota-tacoma/6949418103.html

    (BTW, I've always wanted a pickup and have a '19 MGM DCSB MT and LOVE IT)

    Hey all,
    First post here. Some of you might already know me from previous meets when I had my 4th gen 4Runner. Sold that and picked up my 19 TRD OR DCSB 6MT a couple weeks ago and loving it! Missed last weekends meet but I'll be for sure going to more!

    So just moved back home to Oswego, after being active duty and all over the place the last 10 years, little brother wants to go camping. Any recommendations? We would be doing it old school tent style. He just wants a hardened bathroom facility and lake to fish. Thanks ladies and gents!

    Yep it's in a separate area [camping] its driving distance to all the trails, canyons & matthiessen state park. Cant speak to it though never camped or fished but I know you can I live about 15 min from these areas.

    Thanks again for the suggestions. I started out with Giordanos first, walked around a lot, and got a hot dog at Portillos. Also got a couple donuts from Firecakes. I meant to check out Lous but couldn’t manage to eat anymore. Next time!

    Does anyone know if I can get my motorcycle class M endorsement having completed the MSF Basic Rider Course when I was active duty? I had the endorsement on my AZ license but not on my IL license and about to renew it and looks like an IDOT class similar to the BRC I took waives the test / exam. Didnt find much on IDOTs website besides to contact the DMV in regards to military courses waiving the test/exam. Thinking about picking up a dual sport for commuting to work/school and satisfy my itch.
