    Good morning folks,

    Quick introduction. I picked up my Tacoma a little over a year ago with ~54k miles on it and in good condition. Now at 70k I've updated the suspension with an OME kit and Dakars, upgraded to 17" wheels and Wildpeak tires, added some interior nice to haves in sound and comfort. I've just this week ordered and ARB bumper and a smittybilt wench. I'm gearing up to take it offroad in the next few months and figured I'd start with Gulches park here about an hour south of the Greenville location. Everything is new but I'm enjoying the upgrades, the satisfaction of doing it yourself, and have appreciated the depth of knowledge available on these forums. Figured I'd give into the TW addiction, although it's worrisome how easy it is to get caught up in impulsive buys on here! Hope to find some good off the beaten path locations for camping with my kids etc in the future. If anyone is in the SC region I'm new here and would love any suggestions on good places nearby.

    -Ben

    Thanks for the link. I had seen SOS online, still need sliders and some armor but that will be in the future, thanks for the suggestion and link to the SC thread. Gulches video looks like a good time and it's not far from me which makes it a great spot to go learn some things. Thanks for the welcome fellas!
