    Yeah, and I'm guessing all the complaint threads on here weren't helping much either at getting re-invited.

    Well, not sure when you picked up on the event but if your join date is any indication you may have missed all the hype about the event in 2016. It was a Segway into Toyota's scheme about getting the it and doing things. The even was centered around the outdoor lifestyle the Tacoma allowed people to have. We didn't have much in regards to details when we showed up aside from it was centered around the Tacoma. We met some fantastic guys rookie out there (Andy Bell, Jamie Bestwick, Brandon Wenerd, Toyota Engineers, Martin Henderson, some wildlife, Tacomas, etc).

    Nooooooooooo! :( but it was so much fun. I would have loved to go again.

    I kind of got the vibe that they are more looking for "outsiders", eg, people who aren't into Toyotas or Tacomas to try and capture more segments of the market. Since we're enthusiasts were already "in". They know we like them and already spend money on them lol.

    Because I've never met the most random group of people in my life :rofl: We talked to one guy who said he was an actor in Thailand for 5 years and said he got tired of that so he moved to Denver and wanted to build "sustainable tree houses"... in Denver. Where we don't really have trees big enough to support a house. LOL

    I wouldn't trade it though. It was a great time and had lots of fun and made lots of cool memories.
