    Hello All,
    I purchased my tacoma in January and loving it so far. Ive had trucks before but this is the first truck i actually want to upgrade. Im mechanically inclined but i don't know where to start, also I've been taking it out a bit and looking for new buddies to go camping or off roading with.

    Welcome to TW! This is a great truck and the upgrades are endless. TW definitely makes it easier to connect with local enthusiasts. Where are you located? You can use the search function in the upper right and usually find a few new buddies by searching your location. A lot of members will also post cool trips they are planning, many of which are meets or events open to the public. Good luck finding where to start with the upgrades and good luck trying to keep the addiction at bay!

    I’m in West Jordan. Luckily there are plenty of fun trails around us. I know that Wasatch tundras and Tacomas usually does an annual ride up at snowbird in late July or August. The Utah Toyota Off-road expo looks like it’s in August as well.
