Hunter Smith Intro

[HunterSmith]

I'm currently a freshman at JMU with a major in chemistry and a minor in pre-dentistry. I'm from Madison, Va (about an hour away from JMU over the mountain) and I grew up on a family cattle farm with plenty of land to mess around on with four-wheelers or trucks. I came across Madison Motorsports on the JMU club page and it caught my eye since I'm into cars/trucks, specifically trail riding. I ran across the forum and figured it be a good place for me since I spend a large amount of my times on Tacomaworld.com with over 1,000 posts.

I have a 2001 Toyota Tacoma SR5 that has been lightly modded with many plans for the future when my budget allows it. Here are a few specs/mods:
- 2001 4x4 SR5 extended cab with ~130k miles
- 2.7cyl with 5-speed manual transmission
- 18" Magnaflow muffler
- 33x12.50x15 BFG KO2s
- Bilstein 5100s front and rear
- Old Man Emu 881 coils
- 1.5" Progressive Add-A-Leaf from Wheeler's Offroad
- Plastidipped badges
- CaliRaisedLED Side-Projecting LED Pods on Rago Fabrication Ditch Mounts
- Kenwood Head Unit
- Sound Ordnance M-1500 Amp
- Sound Ordnance B-24 Subwoofers (Yes, I managed to fit two 12 inch subs in the tiny portion of my extended cab)
- Finally, a beautiful dent on the driver's side rear corner from my brother via a tractor bucket (on accident of course)

AYYYYY. Another ToyBrota! Welcome and a good looking Taco.

[GTBrandon]

Oh man, I ALWAYS wanted a Tacoma like that to play around with. Still actually entertaining the idea now that I have the bike to track, and want to explore more of the mountains. Have you done any multi-day trail trips in the Taco yet?

[Jake]

Oh man, Taylor is going to be all over this.

Welcome to the club/madness!

HELLO!

I'm also a TacomaWorlder with a few thousand posts. I used to have an 03 with a similar setup as yours. There are some great trails near JMU to cut your teeth on.

I haven't gotten to do any overnight stuff but I've done a few day trips to places around my hometown. I'm actually considering a trip to Flagpole Knob soon, maybe tomorrow if I get all my work done.

Sweet! Are you still active on there at all and did you ever do a build thread?

I'm not too familiar with the specific stuff on our farm, since I haven't worked on it much, but that might change this summer. However, I'm pretty sure that most of our newer tractors are John Deere. It's a beef farm with about 1,400 acres with only 2-3 people working on it, a family friend as the manager and then my older brother does a lot of it.

I did a build thread. I'll link it sometime. Not active anymore since I sold mine last year.
