Westscott Designs 6th Anniversary Rigs & Roast! 

It was time for a road trip... so, Alex, Ben, Zach and I packed up the rigs and headed to Southern California! We hit Joshua Tree and Anza Borrego. We planned on doing a podcast each night but the wind and sand in Anza prevented that. Here is the podcast from our first night in Joshua Tree. Enjoy!!!!

Sir Will is an awesome character. He lives out his Toyota 4Runner and travels the country enjoying his freedom. "Sir William Goes". We caught up with Sir William at AZ Toy Pros on a Sunday afternoon MOD Day. It's always a good time getting to know someone wrenching on trucks and stuffing our faces with Mexican food. Mark (@lmtl3ss_or) invited us over to do the podcast so we broke out the moonshine, started telling lies and calling up the woman. It was a blast. You can find Sir William Goes on his YouTube Channel and Social Media. @sirwilliamgoes

New Years Eve Eve and we gathered at AZ Toy Pros in Gilbert, AZ to ring in the shenanigans before the final countdown.

We had good time drinking the moonshine, telling lies and calling up the woman! Rubbin' is Racin'... Happy New Year!!!

Welcome aboard Jess. Jess started her love for Toyota in a 2015 TRD OR PreRunner. She quickly learned d that 2WD wasn't going to cut for her and she upgraded to a 4WD.

Recently Jess pulled the trigger and got herself the all new 2024 4th Gen Tacoma and she is fired up. Not only because the truck is now red just like her hair but because the turbo charged 4cyl is ripping it up. She has already begun her bid on "Rose" and things are happening.
