With the current trends and rise of the overlanding industry. What are you Taco owners enjoy doing as a hobbie besides eating tacos...lol

Mine? Forever been a car guy since I got my first hot wheel. JDM specifically. I've had a few S14s, Wrx's, Civic (high school rice cooker days) and for the last 7years I have found my pain but obsession with rotaries. I guess i'm up keeping my stereotype. My financial disasters for your time...have some more pics saved on my external hds if you want me to show more of my builds.

Thanks 4 watching!

I was literally about to make a thread like this. Nice!

I’m obviously a nerd and like internet stuff such as forums. This has been an on and off hobby since about 2005, so that’s like 13 years for me.

I was pretty hardcore into mountain biking but I don’t ride anymore due to a fucked up disc in my lower back.

My other favorite vehicles are squarebody Chevy trucks and Jeep JK’s, so there’s that.

I mostly just like to go out and explore the outdoors with my wife and two dogs though.
 
MTB? Wuff, you made me travel to 2009. I did alot of it in the Caribbean! Had a hard tail 29er back then and been trying to jump on it again but can't do it all. Specially with kids. Hate to not take advantage of this while being in CA.
 
Yup, hardtail 29ers are where it’s at. I’ve only ridden in New York trails. I also hate not being able to ride while I’m in Cali.
 
Dude the new thing now is 27.5 plus...rode on my buddys full suspension and it was night and day. Quicker on the trails, decents are superb but climbing was tougher. I think it was mainly due to being full

Like the wheel color combo! Working on it ever since. Hopefully get some paint work after this last money pit drop to get it "done" at least for the wife nagging arguments lol

Been a motor head as long as I've been able to drive. In our 20 years together, my wife and I have owned WAY too many vehicles (I could probably be retired now, at 44, on what we've spent on them!) Besides vehicles, we're also huge craft beer fans (also a 20 year hobby).

Our two current, non-Tacoma projects:

2011 Jeep Wrangler (used to be a Rubicon):

Our '89 Civic hatch (I cut my teeth working on Hondas in the early to mid 90s):

All my hobbies slowly vanished as I had kids. haha.

Now I just focus on putting them on the right path, spend money on them, yell at them for fucking my stuff up, and try to teach them to take care of their own shit.

My dad was a hard ass, a Marine, and always told my brothers and I, "kids and dogs ruin everything".
It's funny as hell and so true.

Joking aside....I used to enjoy getting outdoors here in CO whenever possible but, with all the recent transplants :mad: it's becoming a hassle.

Dude I so didn’t realize you’re a custom PC nerd like I formally was. Your rig looks killer. Is there a 1080 in it?

No just a 1070, didn’t seen the need spending almost 400$ more at the time

My main passion is photography. I've been into graffiti for the past ten years, and have been documenting railroad graffiti and following that since. I got arrested for it a few years ago, so it's slowed down a bit. Now I focus more on photos of landscape and abandoned buildings.

I also do a bit of illustration and graphic design stuff, when I have time.

If anyone is interested, here are my photo pages.

I have a 1070 too. Brand new, pretty much installed it and then never touched the computer again. Mine is not nearly as sexy as yours and it’s not water cooled. Trying to see it for Taco money.

I considered it but I use it a lot and I love gaming. So I don’t think I’d go that route yet. Could easily get 3k for it though i7 7700k, 32gb ram, 1070 lots of goodies
 
My main hobby these days is making various types gear out of Kydex and other thermoplastics (I own Cascadia Concealment LLC).

I'm also a huge Seattle Sounders fan, and Volkswagen enthusiast.

Just followed you on IG. Good stuff

Sick hatch, had a 95 1.8 twin cam swap all motor gutted back in my high school days lol
 
Cars and construction. Building a cabin (and prepping another spot for a proper house) on my property has been using up all my hobby funds. Which means the '69 Datsun SPL311, '71 VW Beetle, and '49 Ford 8N are all sitting in my shop going nowhere.

I know how you feel. I believe my rx7 has moved about 2k miles in 6years.
