    Sup dudes,

    The main thing I dislike about my Tacoma is that it isn't in an area where others have builds as well. I have been sight searching in everyday traffic looking for other Tacoma influencers, yet to no avail, I cannot find anything. SO. I wanted to know if anybody around the Chicago land area would want to partake in a Taco meet. I want to see every build, could even be a jeep. I have grown long and tired of only seeing basic fords or chevy with a lift kit and rock lights, and I believe it is time to see something more, something more unique. Let me know bros.

    Come check out the WI threads! A decent sized group of us are quite active year round and we're pretty friendly to those south of the border. We just had a fantastic weekend out in southwestern WI and into Iowa with 17 or 18 trucks. We're sure to have a few beer garden meet ups in the Kenosha area this spring and summer.

    I'd be interested in a meet up. In northwest Chicago suburbs.

    DG is a good area. You can get on the Metra and take the train into Chicago or easily hop on the highway. I've heard they have some good spots in their downtown area too.

    I lived in south San Diego suburbs. I've been back a couple times to visit since I left. The last time we stayed in OB. Love me some Pizza Port. Also enjoyed going to Padres games living there (great stadium and location) and often got free tickets (but they were bad then).

    Been here since 18’ done the Métra a few times… convenient for sure. Pizza Port was legit! Miss Sombreros, Alberto’s, Rubio’s and In n Out the most. Mexican food is seriously lacking here…

    Well at least you bought another Yota

    I like to think of my truck as an aluminum 3rd gen. It's got a 3.5L V6 and an 6spd auto :D
