TACODOC.COM IS LAUNCHED!

[TACODOC]

As many of you know, the Rendezvous Conspiracy has been burning the midnight oil working hard behind the scenes to make some big things happen in 2012. One of them is my new enthusiast website that I'm announcing here today on ExPo: www.tacodoc.com

TACODOC.COM is an independent enthusiast website focused on 4WD Toyota Tech and Overland Adventure.

Our intent is to feature tech, trips, events, contributors articles and builds as well as exclusive content from leading outfitters and overland industry news. We believe that sharing knowledge and experience with other enthusiasts is a great way to keep our sport fun and safe, and we feel that giving back to the community and encouraging responsible recreation is central to shaping the future by ensuring that these activities are available to future generations. We are committed to Tread Lightly and promoting trips, meets, and events in the western United States, Baja and beyond!

[Haggis]

Your site is lookin' pretty good Dave! I like that your covering a wide gambit of Toyota models and not just Tacos. Any chance though that as you add more vehicles, trips and what not to the lists that there will be a drop down menu for each subject instead of of having to scroll through the whole category to see new additions. Those of us with limited internet get sad when all we see is red Xs when new stuff is added.

[TACODOC]

Yep, some navigational improvements are coming - stay tuned!

[TACODOC]

The Rendezvous is really gaining alot of steam this year folks and looks to be our best outing to date. Between the trash cleanup, the Desert Challenge, the raffle, the meal by OVG and happy hour this is going to be HUGE! :bigbossHL:
