    Hello TW,

    I'm coming from a 2008 Ram to a MGM 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road DCLB. I bought the truck truck in late November. So far I am loving the truck. I have been surfing this forum for a while now and there are some really nice rigs, extremely talented people, and ton of knowledge on here.

    My plans are a full suspension upgrade Icon 2.5 extended travel coilovers and UCA's, Icon 2.5's in the rear with a set of Deaver Springs (just need to get the time to put it all on). Put Method "Mesh" wheels and 285/75R16 Falkens on on today.

    The day I purchased.

    February 3rd (this saturday) there is going to be a run on pilot rock truck trail if you all want join. Nothing difficult unless you want to challenge the off chutes. It's a lot like like cleghorn. Meeting at the country store on 138 around 8am.
