The planning for our trip to Moab, Utah really started a few years ago when Jesse and I bought a Tacoma Toyota. I thought we were buying a truck... something to get us from point A to point B and maybe haul some things along the way. I was sorely mistaken as this truck was to become much more than that, at least to my husband.

It really started when my husband went online to research something about our truck and found a forum specifically for Tacoma owners. One thing snowballed into another, and a few posts on the forum led to connecting with other local Tacoma owners, new shocks and tires (and countless other things that didn't really need replacing, but the old versions might not be appropriate for driving off the beaten path) and eventually multiple road trips with these new truck friends.
