Hey all! My name is Dan and I just joined. I am from Utah and I just picked up a 2018 QC Long Bed Off-Road which happens to be my first Tacoma! I am downsizing a bit, coming from a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab. We sold our travel trailer and then the Dodge started having some issues so instead of dumping money into it I decided to get a new truck. I am super excited about the Tacoma, I think it is going to be a great truck for me and perfect for what I need it for. We do a lot of camping and fishing, sometimes doing a bit of off roading to get to some good camping/fishing spots. The truck is pretty much stock except for the shell (and the TRD Pro wheels/grill that were added by the dealer when the PO bought it). I think I will probably lift it a little and replace the side steps with something else. Other than that I don't really have any other plans for mods but I usually can't leave things alone too long so we'll see what happens :) A little bit more about me, I love to fly fish, I am into motorcycles, guitars, metalworking, and skiing. As far as vehicles go, I also have a KTM 690 Enduro and our family has a couple of old Land Rover Defender 90s that we like to play around with. Oh and my wife drives a 2012 Highlander so it is nice to have another Toyota in the family. Anyway, here is a pic of the new taco. Thanks for having me!

Thanks! Just pretty basic manual machining and some hobby welding (MIG and TIG). I got into it mostly because of my motorcycles, but I have done other stuff too like rock sliders for my brother’s Defender 90, aluminum ATV ramps, etc. Haven’t done any CNC machining but I studied drafting/CAD in college (didn’t end up going into the field though).
