    Hello Tacoma Brothers,

    I would say Taco brothers, but that sounds weird.

    I've wanted a Tacoma since I was 14yo and put my eyes on them in my High School parking lot. Fastforward 19 years, add some covid work from home back in San Diego, CA from Boston where I don't drive, and purchasing my Tacoma I did.

    I'm originally from Lima-Peru and as a kid grew up leaving Lima to go to the beaches and coastal farms (picture a lunar landscape next to the ocean), and pickups where always the medium to get to remote places. At 13 moved to San Diego, CA and Tacos where everywhere and it just seemed like the perfect design for a pickup to go anywhere.

    Now, I have the simplest of Tacomas, and I'm not planning an Arctic expedition, but it's in great shape and love driving it. Looking forward to reading, answering, analyzing and getting thrown out of my house for how much time I'll be spending on my Tacoma.
