    While I'm Googling this info, I was curious if anyone had their own info or advice on where to find statistics/economics of the offroading community.

    For example: money spent per year, offroad vehicles vs hotrods, age range of most active offroaders, etc.

    Anyone? Thanks, ahead of time.

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    I own both so I can't say for sure. It's too hard to say which I like more. My '69 Mustang is definitely worth more than any of my wheeling rigs though.
