    Hey All,

    So, short story long about a month ago my little commuter car got totaled when another driver crossed 4 lanes of traffic trying to make their exit and crashed into me. This took my wife and me down to one car - her RAV4.

    So it’s prime time hunting season. Peak of the rut and I was out bow hunting and was fortunate enough to harvest another deer. Being down to only one vehicle I loaded this deer into the back of my wife’s car and headed on home. Now listen, I try to be considerate I put down plastic wrap and Dexter’d the back of her car, I cleaned it out, etc. Let’s just say she wasn’t happy about me “putting dead animals into the back of her car”.

    I’ve been wanting to buy a Tacoma for years now, honestly it’s my dream truck. The insurance company said they’re totaling the little commuter car and cut us a check. After this last hunting “incident” my wife agreed that I need to go buy my Tacoma (and leave her car alone).

    Last Sunday I stopped by the dealership and they found me a 2021 Tacoma TRD Off-road 3.5L 6SPD Manual and I put down my deposit! I really wanted the manual so they had to get it shipped it from another dealership. I’m impatiently waiting on it now.

    Thanks for having me - also the deer that ultimately made this all possible will be getting mounted in the garage haha!

    Nice buck bro!

    And congrats on the new truck.

    I too had a successful harvest this year- not that nice unfortunately!

    Congrats on the buck and the truck! Can't wait to see your rig.
    My buddy and I used my truck when he bagged a 6x6 elk two years ago. Even quartered and deboned, he barely fit in the bed with all our gear. 20170921_104759_20201218090213887.jpg
