Combined with the bigger tires, I'm starting to feel like it's off road ready, though I still have a long way to go. Tenatively picking up some rock sliders in a few weeks.
I'd like to be more involved, does the club have any meetings, our possibly outings coming up?

My name is Chess, I'm a 27 year old IT guy out of New York, however I work in CT and my girlfriend lives there, so the majority of my time is in CT. I've been interested in vehicles since I was a kid but never had someone to teach me, so I've been learning myself as I go. I won Rookie of the Year in the Fairfield Country Sports Car Club for Autocross in 2018, but have never gone off roading until very recently.
I picked up a 2005 Toyota Tacoma 6MT 4x4 a few weeks ago, and have since put Falken Wildpeak AT3ws on to replace the All Seasons, and I have a small lift in the mail as we speak. I also plan on doing heavier skids, front armor, and a winch. Nothing insane, as it's still my daily. I also have a '93 Miata LE, '17 Focus ST, and a '13 GSXR-600 if anyone is interested in other vehicles.
I have done 1 'real' trail out at Cockaponset state forest, and a few rough county roads, but that's it. I am very interested in learning more, and I would love to give anyone a hand with wrenching if they need.
I look forward to meeting everyone!
