    Hey Guys,

    My name is Marc, I got my new 2017 Toyota Tacoma back in September. I live in the valley in SoCal. Ive been on here quite often to get some info but finally decided to pull the trigger and make a profile. I have Icon Suspension, wheels, and other few goodies on the way. Cant wait to meet some of you on here and go off roading. Thank you

    Cool! Same to you! I was considering on getting a 4Runner too but opted for the truck because i can load up my motorcycle on the bed with out using a trailer. I used to live in Sherman Oaks near the Sherman Oaks Galleria and the batting cages but moved a few minutes away to Woodland Hills. Lets meet up one of these days and hit up some trails!

    I'm new Taco guy too. I just got a 2017 Sports and love it. I'm sad cause I had to give up motorcycle racing and cow trailing. My dad made me start racing motorcycles at 6 years old and I just gave it up at 59 years old. Sold my CRF450R, Macio 400, CR500, and Husky 450. Now I have a new truck? I think its time to go get a new dirt bike! HA!
