    2017 4x4 Off Road
    None
    Hi Guys,

    Just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, and look forward to learning a lot from you guys out there. I bought a 2017 Tacoma 4x4 Off Road last year for hunting. I am from Michigan, and we love being outdoors. Someone recommended the Tacoma as a great little truck for hunting, but looking at some of the videos on YouTube, I see people doing a lot of upgrades and off roading. To tell you the truth, if I had the cash, I would definitely off road.

    I looked at this guy Alex.Busta on YouTube, some of you would know him. He does some sick stuff. Anyways, I was looking at his vids, and in one seen, man, he got like inches away from this rock, I mean, one wrong move, and he would have tore up his truck, but he's been doing off roading for a while, so he got out of it. But I imagine, to get there, he probably has spent a lot on fixing and repairing his off roading lessons. And, I say it that way, because it is a learning experience. So, I think I will start on the track where I don't mind getting Muddy and the occasional incline, so I could switch to my indicator in my truck, so I could see how cool the angle is, when I am on an incline... But that's about it.

    I rather look at the guys like Alex, and the guys down in Australia 4WD 24-7, and cringe when they or their friends scratch, break or tear something up. Sure, I give them the Oohs and Ahhs when I view their videos. But hey, it's their passion, and I hope I would have the courage to try a drive like that, but until then I want to keep my truck as close to OEM as possible. I definitely want to change the bumper and wheels... You know, so my truck looks like a bad ass 4x4, but in reality, she is a truck specifically for Hunting... Thanks, and it's great to be here.
