    Hi everyone!
    A little bit of background on myself; I've always been intrigued by sports cars as most are and have always found myself mesmerized by them. However, I am a Vermont local and being able to venture where ever is half the fun of living here. A few years after selling off our 2014 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon I began to wish I had another off-road capable vehicle to utilize the plethora of off-road trails in Vermont and surrounding states. In the past year with all the chaos going on like most, I found myself wanting to be outside more and adventuring more. I began heavily looking around for one and finally, months and months later got exactly what I was after.
    Enter the beast: a 2021 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO
    DSC_0468.jpg
    many many more pictures to come.
    While the POTD was high, I didn't pay over MSRP and the option is the doorsill guards.
    The rig is a daily driver however, I've already gone down the rabbit hole that is building it out further to get it to an optimal setup. Ideas: camping set up, accessory lights, and later down the road enhanced offroad capability.
    Feel free to throw any suggestions to parts you believe are well worth the money or say hi!
    Looking for fellow Vermonters/nearby enthusiasts to trail ride with.
    I will create a build thread in due time but for now...time to enjoy!

    Welcome, and OMG, I grew up in Woodstock!! Parents, other family, and many friends still live there. Woodstock high class of ‘03.

    Haven’t lived in VT for most of the last decade (in in eastern Washington now and I don’t get to see the green plates very often all the way out here) but it’s truly one of the best places on earth. I love picturing a Pro parked on central street, good work! Have fun with the Taco there and congrats

    What a small world, I went to Woodstock for a bit myself. I'll be sure to take one on central and send it your way. Will do, Cheers!
