Was sent to this site by a friend and so far seems like an awesome place! Little about me, I've been wheeling almost my entire life (began with my Dad back in I beleive elementary school). Been a passenger mainly but now I'm starting to get into some driving. Started out with a 96 Tacoma back in the day, tragically lost due to hitting black ice and rolling, then had an 85 4Runner that had all the bells and whistles, had to sell that for college money (I sure miss it...). I'm also currently a Mechanical Engineering major.

I now have a 98 Tacoma with the 3 inch Toyotec adjustable coils in the front, All-Pro rear suspension kit, 33 inch BFG All-Terrains with Ivan Stewart rims, e-locker and trail gear sliders.

Most recent pic, took the other day:



Picture as seen in the All-Pro calendar xD


Old tires:


I havn't really been able to get it out much anywhere with this truck yet due to the snow and just getting it about finished over winter, so can't wait for all this snow to melt!

Snow, schmow... wheel it anyways! This weekend we pulled out a few stock trucks who "wanted to test out their trucks in the snow":


They didn't do so well...
