    2015 Tacoma TRD Off Road
    When I was stationed in Rota, Spain, I was invited to go have a good meal with some friends one night. We were all Air Force stationed on a Navy Base. Now you all know how the competition is between the branches of the military, so us Air Force personnel were really close. We were the red-headed step children on that base, though. I think we only had about 120 members on that huge base. Needless to say, we were the minority, so when someone invited me to dinner, I jumped on it.

    I was working the night shift and had eaten a very large breakfast that morning when I got off work at 7am. Normally I would eat when I got off work from the 12 hour shifts, then walk a little bit and maybe sit and watch some TV until my constitution kicked in, then after a good release of my bowels, I would go to sleep. But for reasons listed above, I knew I had to sleep now in order to be up for the drive to the other side of the port to meet my friends. I was thinking we would eat early, maybe go down town for a drink and that would be it. Note that I am a very regular crapper. I have two to three good BMs a day. But after eating at the chow hall that morning, I just went on to bed.

    Fast forward a good 8 hours of sleep, I get up, shower and get ready and head on out to Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain. I lived in Rota. If you ever take a look on the map of Rota, you will notice it is on one side of the port and Puerto is on the other. Note that Puerto de Santa Maria is the port from which Columbus sailed to find the new world. Lots of history there.

    There are two ways to get to Puerto from Rota. You either drive straight through the base and exit the Puerto gate, or drive all the way around the back side of the base. The latter is not the normal route during the day as the back gate is opened. But it got locked back in the 90s around dark-thirty. So folks trekking back after hours have to take the back route. And it's dark. No much back there back in the day.

    I get to my friend's house and we were not having dinner at their house, we were all going out to a local place to eat, drink and be merry. Oh we had a few drinks there first, but dinner was going to be out. After a couple of drinks at their house, I felt a little urge to fart. I held it in until we got to our cars to head out for dinner. Whew! It was nasty. A very foul smell. Something we all called a foat, not a fart. A foat stands for, fresh off a turd. You know it's getting close when you smell one of these.

    After a very large dinner of hossenfeffer stew, everyone decided to go dancing and have some drinks. I was cool with that. But the pains started to hit me. No one I have ever known ever took a shit in a club in Spain. Sure they had some toilets, but no stalls. And all the toilets had piss and crap all over them from the poor, drunk tards who did muster up the courage to take a crap on one of those bowls. Note I said ON one of those bowls, not in one. So I waited until I could wait no longer. I told my friends I just had to go. Gave some puny excuse and just bolted out the door.

    I found my car, fumbled for the keys and easily slid down in the seat so as not to jar anything building up in my colon too much, then headed out through town and then on the 10 plus mile trek back to the other side of the port. Traffic was slow, methodically slow, PAINFULLY slow. But when I hit the back road I floored it. I had a nice little Alfa Romeo and it was pegged out.

    I was mouse-holeing! Turtle-necking! Heck I was touching cotton!!! Driving on one cheek at a time! It was so painful and there was nothing, I mean NOTHING lit up on that back road! No gas station, no motel, no side road bar, nothing! I could take it no longer! Directly behind the base, on that long and dark road, I saw heaven. A dirt road! A country boy's dream come true. I turned right onto that dark, dusty dirt road on two wheels. Drove up to a clearing and spun the car around, opened the door ripping off the button of my pants trying to yank them down and I just bent over in front of the car, aiming my ass away from the car and let her fly. I swear the headlights illuminated the largest turd I have ever seen in my life! It had to be at least 16 inches!

    I just looked at it. What masterpiece I had laid.

    Now time stood still for the next 5 seconds. I'm guessing that was how long it took. As steam eminated up and wafted away from the turd, I heard it. It sounded like someone just turned on the lights at a football stadium. That loud, ominous, familiar clunk of a throw switch still haunts my dreams today. Suddenly, the hillside lit up, like the afore mentioned stadium. I had pulled into someone's driveway. A farmhouse I imagined. I never saw it in my drunken stupor of pain driving up there before. I turned to see probably 10 Spanish people all standing on the front porch, gasping in horror at the site they were looking at. Me! Bare-assed and bent over in front of my car with a huge steaming turd, in their front yard....

    So what did I do? I did what any military member, overseas (mini-ambassadors for the USA) would do. I grabbed pants, jumped in my car and slung gravel and dust up approximately 30 feet in the air as I hauled ass off of their property.

    I lived in Rota for another 2 years after that night. I never took that back road again. It's been 20 years ago. I can only hope the children on that porch do not have nightmares of my masterpiece! Children are precious. Please pray for the children. My masterpiece still haunts me to this day! I haven't cut off my ear yet, but the thought has crossed my weary mind....

    So take my life back about 10 years ago... handsome guy, decent job, and single! Had all kinds of girlfriends. Slept with many too. Was not in anything stable, always looking for the next time to get high, drunk, or laid.

    So I'm managing a restaurant and it is time for my lunch. I have already tried everything on the menu and am looking for something different. I wash my hands as i enter the kitchen. I drop a top sirloin steak on the grill, sliced spicy peppers and yellow onion. Sliced the steak into fajitas and sauteed the spicy peppers and onions along lime juice with the steak strips. Plate it and sit down... Pretty good for me making fajitas. Spicy with a hint of lime juice in the aftertaste.
    Our business starts picking up for lunch. I get up, take my plates to the dish pit, visit the head, wash my hands and get to managing the restaurant. As I'm moving around, I begin to feel an itch/burn on my genitals. Thought of it as a wedgie, so I just pulled it off and continued with my obligations. The burn was steadily increasing to the point where I had to go the office to scratch (over my loins of course). Wash my hands and back to work. I couldn't take it anymore. I went to the restrooms (which we share with our guests) and zipped my pants down. I made a cup with my hand, held some water, and would go into the nearest stall and slash cold water on my member and support. It was looking red and painful. And it really got me thinking... "Who da fuq did I sleep with in this past few days!" I started listing names and became angry at them, I thought I caught a friggin disease, and it was gonna burn my dick off!! While dwelling on this, I keep jumping out the stall for more cold water and splash!
    5 minutes pass, my restaurant is in the middle of lunch rush, and I'm locked in a stall with a burning sensation I cannot put out. My mouth is also hot, then I realize... BAM!!! I sliced spicy peppers for lunch, ate, but did not wash my before taking a piss. :) Discarded all of those crazy thoughts, used hand soap and sanitizer to clean it all off, thoroughly washed my hands and got to work with a HUGE smile.

    Lesson learned. I could imagine what catching something could feel like. I broke up with all those booty calls, got together with whom is the mother of my beautiful baby girl, and never messed around again.
    And I ALWAYS wash my hands before and after using the little boys room.
    True story.

    Why I should have a DeMello Off-Road Bumper

    By John’s Tacoma

    John is a poor post graduating college Engineer. Because he is an engineer he has lots of Student Loans that eat into pampering me. He was able to get me some new parts to really make me stand out, but damn that front end really needs a nose job, especially after someone decided to back into me in a parking garage. So now I have this giant gouge in the front and it has been getting a lot of negative looks lately. Like a Peacock I need to spread my wings and fly and a new sext front end is what I need. John’s Girlfriend loves him but she stops him from buying to many things for me, and as a jealous Tacoma that just doesn’t sit well with me one bit. For some odd reason John works at Ford so of course I am the only Tacoma there and I think sporting a new bumper and kick ass lights is the way to really show off. I have been told there are no more unicorns but I don’t believe that and if I get this bumper I can go find one and drag it out of that mystical waterfall it lives in and show everyone wrong!

    From John:

    I want to thank you guys for doing this giveaway. Probably the coolest thing a company can do and thank you for the opportunity for this.

    Dear @JDEMELLO and @Baja Designs ,


    I have to share with you my latest off road adventure story to the mythical rainbow land to fight the evil unicorn who dwells there. His name is 3rg gen and he is a kitten thief and destroyer of super chargers. Mission control radioed me in and said “Son, we have a job for you.” You must rescue the 1st born kitten of TCbob that was stolen from him by the unicorn.

    I grabbed my trusty steed and slammed that 6 speed into first and let the raging horses of the 1grfe out of the gate and was thrown into the back of my seat. I thought to myself how I was going to save this kitten, the evil unicorn has a dangerous costly castle where he is stock piling kittens and super chargers. He has many guards carrying wrenches that would like to do harm to me or my powerhouse double cab.

    I scoped the place out for a few hours and realized my point of entry, there was a large glass wall in the front and also 4 garage bay doors with what appears lava in them. I gave a last ditch pep talk to the 1grfe to make sure she was ready and when I turned the switch to 4wd I knew it was on like donkey Kong! I slammed through the front glass into the prison called the “show room” where the evil unicorn has held my brothers captive and shows them off. The 1981 Toyota Celica and the 4runner TRD pro ran out the front for safety as I went deeper.

    That is where the evil third gen confronted me with his large and shiny front grille, Being a unicorn it will be difficult to fix that front end but someone will help him someday I hope. I could see Tcbobs small furry love child atop the unicorn’s shoulders. I did not give him a second to think and I crammed the gas and rammed his legs. It was like in Hollywood when all the stars align in the end, the unicorn fell and I made a sliding catch with all 5ft of the short bed, traction control lights flashing, me jamming the horn for style points. I caught the kitten and grabbed second like I had never before.

    I rounded the corner in the “service bay” which is actually a torture chamber by the looks and smell of it. There were waterfalls of oil and gold coins which had been stolen from owners like me. I could not save them all and mission priority was the “package” I plowed down the first few wrenches and did my best to avoid the others. The last garage door was trying to be closed but I was going to make it out so I down shifted and floored it. The roar of that motor woke up the presidents on Mount Rushmore, The door was closing quickly, about 30ft away…..it was closed…..I SMASHED through like the Kool aid man!

    When returning to base camp after an intense rescue mission, there was bob…..full tears excited to have his son back. Mission control gave me a pat on the back and a job well done. But after the thrashing my ride had done to the home of the third gen in the snatch and grab mission the front end had seen better days. She needs some first aid by Demello Offroad and Baja Designs……

    My eyes open and I’m walking in the front door of my house and throwing my keys on the counter. My wife the “bank manager” says oh how was taking the truck in to the dealership? She follows with….I hope it was not expensive and you didn’t buy something to make the truck uglier. I smiled and said no ma’am I just stopped by to save some lives and watch some people get robbed.


    Thanks for the opportunity for a chance at some swag, had a fun time writing some crazy story saving bobs kitten.
    If anyone liked the story throw a like on here or on the facebook post and give demello some rep for doing tacoma world a solid.

    Thanks!

    Here is a nice story, and it's about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

    It isn't often that I post about my experience with vendors or private dealings with forum members, unless of course those experiences or dealings have been negative. In this case it's quite the opposite and I am posting because of a fantastic experience with a private member on this forum.

    I'll try to keep this short and free of Hallmark moments.

    Unchained5150 posted a thread about some fog light housings he was selling at what I thought was a very good price so I jumped on it and secured the housings. Unchained and I then started PMing each other with PayPal details and shipping information.

    Not only did Unchained give me a better price then he was advertising without me asking for it, he also paid for priority shipping to Canada!!! Within two days of paying for the housings I had a tracking number. I purchased the housings over the weekend so really it was the next business day and within the week the housings were in my mail box. I only knew they had arrived at Canada Post because Unchained sent me a message telling me they had been processed into the Canadian postal system.

    When I opened the box the bubble wrap the housings were in and the air bags in the box occupied more space then the housing themselves. To say the least I was VERY impressed, to my surprise the housings even had bulbs in them. Big deal some of you might say but it would have been easy for him to remove the bulbs and keep them for himself since they were not advertised as part of the deal.

    To say the least I was overwhelmed by his kindness in both the great deal he gave me, the free shipping, and the free bulbs that came with the housings. It's been one of the best online shopping experiences I've had, PERIOD. I'm not sure he made any money at all.....

    Thanks Unchained it has been a pleasure doing business with you. If ever you have anything else to sell just PM me before you put it on the forum, I'd probably buy it on principle alone.

    Thanks for restoring the faith that there are actually still good decent people out there. Would do business with you again in an instant.
