    2C684240-2FA6-4261-A47F-EA4552542142.jpg Hello T.. world,

    bought my first Taco in 2018. Absolutely love it. Joined up here to see what others do and look for advice and such. When I first got it I put on some custom rock sliders and a nice rhino roof rack. Went out on some trails for the first time last year here in Oregon where I live. Can’t wait to get rid of my stock tires this year.

    Can’t wait to get to know everyone on here!!

    @leomodz , thanks I got lucky, they had exactly what I wanted on the lot. I glad I got the off-road package. First time I took it out on the trails. This guy got stuck in his sport and didn’t have locking diff. Otherwise he could have gotten out easy. Took a lot of people, ropes, removable winch to get him out. Good learning experience for a novice like myself.

    granted the kid driving, didn’t know what he was doing either. More experienced driver could have handled it better. We all came together and got him out. Then we all trailed the day together. Good times

    I'm outside of Grants Pass. I hear good things about Browns camp, but I would need at least some better tires for my sport from what I hear.

    Once again, Welcome!
