    Stock for now
    just bought my first Tacoma. Hadn’t picked it up yet even haha

    2012 4 door long bed. 100% stock. Silver. My dad has an 87 pickup. One is the best trucks we ever owned. Then I got into broncos (still am) then powerstrokes (made me broke but love the power) and now I’m on the taco train. I travel a lot for BJJ and doing seminars, so I need something better on gas and reliability. I’m an avid hunter (typing this in a tree stand) and with the money I’m saving on fuel, repairs, tires, and all I’ll be able to hunt, train, travel and make my stock truck look cool!!!

    Love the tips I’ve seen. I’ll share what I can as I learn.

    Yeah man, Spartan Fitness in Birmingham. We are an SBG gym, got a couple of dudes in the UFC (definitely not me). But our head coach is awesome and everyone has a real cool vibe (or they don’t last too long).

    Dude tell Chris that I am way better looking than he is. Haha

    I was supposed to come down before I bought this truck... last one was a disaster haha I’ll definitely be down though. Plan on hitting it up for sure. I need to get some wrestling in with Eric Anders. I’m a big dude so he can beat on me.
