The Toyota Tacoma Rig That Can “Literally Go Anywhere”

Matt Marks from Madison, Wisconsin is selling his 2003 off-road built Toyota Tacoma TRD.

Matt is a paramedic by career choice and a mechanic by default. While he is particularly skilled with medicine, he found it easier to fix a mechanical object since they don’t feel pain and hardly ever talk back.

Matt is self taught in all things mechanical, but over years of learning things the hard way, he has become quite adept at what a piece of machinery needs. Because of this love and his years of experience, Matt started a motorcycle fabrication business a few years ago, and it has taken off since.

After years of working with cars, motorcycles, and engines, Matt knew exactly what he wanted in a car, and this Tacoma is it.

After buying the truck new, he made it light and fast with suspension for the desert, and added the bumper and winch so it can handle almost every type of terrain.

Once, After finding a course that didn’t destroy the truck or the environment, Matt drove this rig some 100 miles out in back country in Utah to get into pristine wilderness for hiking. Finally, when he reaches what he thought was the best and most desolate spot to set out on foot first thing in the morning.

After about 10 minutes of enjoying this beautiful landscape, Matt heard a generator, and discovered that the state of Utah had recently built a road to get the RVs closer to the wild, and here he had driven miles to get away only to find pavement over the next hill.

Despite the countless adventures that Matt had taken this car on, and the reliability and fun that this car provides, Matt is letting it go. Now, he just wants someone to purchase it who can enjoy a rig that “can go literally anywhere.”

If you are that someone, you can purchase this rig at https://www.panjo.com/buy/2003-toyota-tacoma-trd-off-road-built-342616.
