What is the most unique or surprising mod you have done to your Tacoma?:

  • Most Surprising Mod

    “The camper shell. Having a water-tight bed is a total game changer — gear stays clean, dry, and out of sight. The ARE Windoors make accessing every inch of the bed effortless, especially paired with the drawer system. It’s made camping way easier… and cleaner.”

Meet Grant

Hailing from Northwest Arkansas, Grant is a professional graphic designer, marketer, and content creator behind the Arkansas Offroad YouTube channel. His off-road journey began with a 1984 Toyota Pickup, then a 1977 International Scout II, and later a Jeep TJ that became one of the most recognized in the scene.

Today, his focus is squarely on Toyota — a platform he’s grown to love for its reliability and versatility. Outside of wheeling, Grant’s hobbies include mountain biking, dirt biking, and RC scale crawlers — basically, if it’s got wheels and dirt, he’s in.


Favorite Trails

Grant’s backyard is the Ozark National Forest, offering diverse terrain, rocky climbs, deep mud holes, and countless water crossings. With views worth every mile and only 90 minutes from home, it’s no wonder he rarely wants to leave Arkansas.

Why the Tacoma Community Rocks

“The diversity of builds and the support people have for each other. Tacomas are like the Honda Civic of the import world — endlessly customizable. People push each other and manufacturers to innovate, and Toyota’s reliability keeps these trucks at the top.”
