This guy represents what America is all about. Failing over and over, getting made fun of, disrespected, even to the point where they gave him a nickname that he would embrace and shove right back down their throats, and he never gave up. Not giving up and failing over and over is 99% of any game in life. God bless America and this young man, anything is possible here in America if you want it bad enough!
Don't sweat your critics, most have never raced, were part of a race effort, or built anything themselves. Everyone starts somewhere. You're a great example of someone who makes it happen on their own. Every racing dynasty started with someone who built the first race vehicle, figured it out themselves, and earned their way in. What you did is more meaningful than getting a seat in a pro vehicle because you are a second or third generation driver/builder. Lots of respect for what you have done. Love the livery choice - that's what drew me to the video. Hope to see more of you!
I have a 94 ranger with 4 billion inches of travel . 4x4 cut and turned TTB 💪🏻. Runs on 4 inch lift coils and some cheap shocks 😂 handles offroad racing like a champ !
He made his dream come true. I am also from SD, and in 2007 I attended the Baja 1000 with my auntie who was part of the Desert Assassins team, and they were trying to recruit me as a possible navigator for one of their racing series. I ended up joining the US navy instead, but I have always wanted to race. I didn't have the money, or hardly any experience in building, repairing vehicles (I'm an IT). Much props to this dude. I also had a 1998 Tacoma. I also thought about building that for either a hot import tuner truck or pre-runner.
Ol Homemade motorsports. I remember his truck when he first raced it and to say it wasn't done correctly is being nice about it. Glad he's still running and the truck now looks a lot nicer.
I feel him, I'm about to be 31, I'm Luna, I'm a famous Online Security Expert who owns his own company now! I love how you and Toyota kept ❤️ the 90's beloved baha truck man! I even remember when the shows in the 90's "here goes a" but remember when Dave and Becky Drove that sick beast! My prom vehicle was a red original 2006 Tacoma XRunner with what you're working with a TRD supercharger haha. I won't lie when I say the ladies loved it
So siccc to go from being made fun of to straight Toyota commercial! This guy's determination is on point so stoked he made it so far,killer yota too! 🟨🟧🟥🤙
So all the bullying on the internet, all the trash talk MOTIVATED YOU! TO FUEL THE HUGE SUCCESS YOU ARE TODAY! GREAT! & Social media is banning all that trash/bully ridicule talk off their platforms when its hurting more than helping success.
I got started auto/ice/rally crossing a camry in a very similar fashion. Take it apart figure it out put it together some fingers crossed here and there.
Mateo! Bro you lost weight and you look sleek! Brandon, I love your story! I wish more people had that drive and persistence. Its a great story, maybe someday Mateo can hook you and you can make a self documentary of your success. Very Inspirational
It's funny 'cause back in the day Taco guys talked shit about the Ranger because there was loads more factory support and aftermarket for the 'Taco, and this guy's whining because the Ranger suspension is easier to mod.
TacomaBeast what would be in your opinion the BEST set up suspension wise to BAJA all day long on 35s ???? Others feel free to comment as I am looking for options on my build of a 3rd gen.
If you need tips on suspension we have a team of experts dedicated to helping you with finding mods, feel free to email them at support@tacomabeast.com
That is the....SEXIEST......Tacoma I have seen in a long time...! Too bad it's not in my driveway....oh well the taco I have now has potential...its fun to play in the woods with at 400,000 miles on it...still climbs like a goat.....tho probably not as nice as that one....

Couldn’t have said it better myself 👏
Yes! We need more race trucks and some schooling of how we can go faster with our wannabe preruners.
😂
Lol fact’s it’s mostly overlanding everywhere 😭
Next, freeway pickup time attack racing. By legal speed limits only.

Woah that’s a lot of inches
Thank God it's still toyota powered! Beautiful truck!
I never wanted something so much until now. What a build and what a truck.

Thanks for the flashback

Love that Toyota jump! … An awesome story of dedication and success! 😎🛻

Whether you believe you CAN or whether you believe you CAN’T, either way you are correct! It’s the THINKING that makes it so!Amazing!!!
This was 2+ years ago. I would imagine that this a quarter million dollar truck now in 2024

So all the bullying on the internet, all the trash talk MOTIVATED YOU! TO FUEL THE HUGE SUCCESS YOU ARE TODAY! GREAT! & Social media is banning all that trash/bully ridicule talk off their platforms when its hurting more than helping success.
That beast of a taco would win the Baja no problem!
So glad it kept it going and didn’t give up.
I appears as if many more of the Baja 1000 trucks are going towards AWD systems VS rear wheel drive systems ........... another great video Mateo
This is a modern Ironman Toyota truck. I wonder if Ivan has seen this or what he thinks of it.
Damn that thing is so badass!!! Awesome freaking story!
Man, would love to take that for a spin one day.😇
Who wouldn't? 😍😍
This is a beautiful built awesome story. One of your best videos yet . I love everything off road This was awesome to watch. Get it good luck...

TOYOTA ROCKS- PERIOD

Seeing the sun come up 3 times would be intense, but that's why you have 3 or more drivers.

Holy crap, just like in forza horizon 5
this guy NEVER once mentioned money as an issue. that tells me everything i need to know lol
I’m not sure that has much to do with anything 🤷♂️ he does get a lot of funding from sponsors (like us lol) so he doesn’t see it as an issue
Interested in the camera gear you use awesome video and taco 🌮🔥🔥🔥
When i have $140k in my tacoma... But it looks stock 🤣🤣 ( I rebuilt mine seven times) #Offroading is life.
Can i get on the show?
😂😂😂

Different strokes for different folks 🤷♂️
Welcome broo

You’re a legend! Fuck all your critics
It's funny 'cause back in the day Taco guys talked shit about the Ranger because there was loads more factory support and aftermarket for the 'Taco, and this guy's whining because the Ranger suspension is easier to mod.

Mateo I would like to buy the Polo shirt you are wearing in this video. Do you sell it on your web site? Good energy in this video.
That one is out rep shirts for events and stuff 😂
What kind of engine? it still rockin the 3.4?
It’s the second gen engine 💪
Supercharged 4.0
How many Toyota parts left in the car ?
