    Hello!

    In the past, I was very active on jeepforum, and loved every second of jeep ownership. However, life got in the way, and I sold the jeep for a down payment on my home. I'm happily writing to introduce myself to Tacoma World!

    As an aspiring slumlord, I've always had a small truck to run errands, haul tools/material, and landscaping stuff. I've dreamed that once my trusty Frontier gave up, I would finally make the move to the Tacoma.

    The day has finally come, and I couldn't be happier with my 2018 TRDOR, manual transmission! I'm attempting to not let the bug bite too deep as its a partial work truck, but it's only a matter of time before the modifications start happening.

    When I daily drove the jeep, I lived in Atlanta, was active in two clubs, and spent two weekends a month playing in the woods. Frankly I miss the offroading world, and look forward to getting back into it. I now live back in my hometown NW Ohio, where offroading is a commitment and takes quite a drive to get anywhere worthwhile.

    I look forward to meeting you guys and gals, and (hopefully) showing off my slow progress down the Tacoma modification rabbit hole.

    Cheers!

    Congratulations! I too am a recovering Jeep owner and way too happy with Toyota to ever go back! The truck has a poor departure angle but that sacrifice is minor when compared to the cargo hauling ability with a pick up plus the incredible quality of a Toyota. Enjoy the A-TRAC every time you are in low range... all 4 wheels working for you!
