I was looking for a heavy duty, better looking, and lighter weight solution in skid plates and Ricochet has what I was looking for! A heavy duty one piece front skid (bash plate and engine skid plate combined) made from ¼” 5052-h32 aluminum along with the control arm guards made from 3/16” aluminum is what we went with.

Talk about the pursuit of what we love! Trying to find the Tacoma of your dreams is not an easy task, to say the least.
Shane and I have been talking about me taking over as Managing Editor of Tacoma Magazine for quite a while. The minute we started discussing this I began the search for my own Taco, I mean, how can you be a managing editor without a truck?

We went along as the support/photography crew this year with the folks from FJC Magazine. Talk about an amazing event, there were Toyota’s everywhere! The scenery in and around Ouray was as spectacular as the vehicles. From old school FJs, new FJs, Land Cruisers, 4Runners, to several Tacomas, virtually all types of Toyota 4x4’s were represented. We also got to check out what’s new with some of the aftermarket manufacturers that showed their Toyota love.

Toyota has made a number of variations of the Tacoma, from the venerable 5 lug standard cab to the unmistakable Double Cab Long Bed 4WD and everything in between. Some have purchased the awesome Prerunner version of the Tacoma, have built it to the exact specifications wanted, then taken it out on the trails and have loved it. But, some have been left wanting more when the trail got tough; you got left behind, even with the addition of the factory rear locker. You just didn’t have the extra benefit of power going to those front wheels.
