September 2012

When the iPad first launched, I was amazed by the guys over at SoundMan Audio in California. Within a day they had installed an iPad into a Tacoma and from that point on I knew trail navigation would soon change forever. Although my daily driver & current trail truck is an FJ Cruiser, trail navigation is the same regardless of vehicle, so allow me to praise my current favorite app for keeping me from getting lost.

First though, a little history.

Growing up in a family of mechanics, I always dealt with the local parts houses and tire shops to take care of my wheel and tire needs.  Today is definitely a different time with the way people do their major purchases.  You can still have that relationship with your local dealers but it’s getting harder and harder to find.

We were contacted by Discount Tire Direct to try them out for a new kind of experience.  They have the same lines of wheels and tires that their more well known sister company “Discount Tire” has.

We’re excited for the September issue of Tacoma Magazine, this is our best yet, not to mention the largest.  We have a photo shoot from the FJ Summit, tires & wheels from Discount Tire Direct, discussion of Overland Taco building, coverage of the 2012 Colorado Toyota Jamboree, Ricochet Skid Install, and a very special 2003 Pre-Runner build.
