Germany Tacos

well here in germany, bored and wanting to get a group meet for those of us on this side of the world with tacomas. I love coming on this site and looking at all the photos that people post up from group meets they go to and it sucks not being able to post up pictures from a meet that i go to lol. So yeah if there are any taco owner over here that wanna schedule a meet lets plan it out

 

wombat, you still around? i'll be there in feb. how was it shipping your truck? any issues with customs and mods?

 

Hey Lois, my sister and cousin were born, raised and still live outside of Mannheim. You from the states?

 

german taco FTW!! hopefully u find some german taco buddies

 

No issues with customs for me, just make sure your truck is really clean even tho they charge you a few bucks to wash your truck before they accept it which is a scam to earn an extra few bucks. When getting the vehicle registered over here they do brake test, do a whole inspection of the truck to make sure its safe for the road and other drivers

 

i am from california, and only an hour away from Mannheim right now

 

i sure hope so too, it sucks seeing all these threads about people going out and having a good time off roading, making trips and over here i have nothing, and the only enjoyment i get is looking at the pictures, yeah it sucks lol

 

thanks for the tip, i was a little worried. a guy told me the other day that it might be a problem for the germans to accept a truck with a lift and bigger tires. i've heard otherwise but wasnt sure which to go with...

 

how big of lift do you have, my truck has a 3inch lift with 285/70/17s and im good

 

Well you guys not the only one on these side of the world... Here is another TacomaWorld member Taco around 1080 miles from you..

 

where is this said member at?

 

I am in Eastern Europe, Latvia... Wish the gas prices were as low as back in the States... Would definetelly drive for some European TacomaWorld meet up... Did you found any good trails around your area?

 

out of all the driving i have done over here i have not found any trails to do anything on, ive found more castles than i have trails and its sad, i was hoping to stumble upon some awesome trails.

 

Good luck guys. I was there 05-08 (K-town) and we found some trails (mainly mud) out the west gate of Ramstein.

Coords are 49.424067N, 7.537000E

 

i'm stationed in spangdahlem, germany. sold the truck before i came over for various reasons. wish i still had the truck... and now this thread makes me miss my truck even more. wish i had it so i could meet up with you guys.

 

i see what you are talking about but from the google maps picture it doesnt seem like that many trails there, correct me if im wrong

 

that would of been another taco over here

 

there's a few others here on base, but they're all bare bone stock. not that it matters too much, but i definitely believe that they're not tacomaworld kinda fellas.

 

May not be worth convoying down there but if you're in the area and want to get your truck muddy then it'll do.

 

ive heard there are a few trail parks downsouth, have you guys heard anything about them?
