My name is Drew Derrico. One part of life which I absolutely cherish is the outdoors. I grew up participating in outdoor activities with my brother, Asher. I love to hike, fish, camp, almost anything that involves the outdoors. Instead of hiking, where the main mode of transportation is the legs, Asher and I love to go off-roading. It's an important part of my life. Off-roading combines two activities almost all guys love, vehicles and outdoors. Over free weekends, I drive to Tennessee, middle Georgia, or any other place with off-roading trails. I own a Toyota Tundra and Toyota Land Cruiser, both off-road capable. In my opinion, and many others, Toyota produces the best possible vehicles for off-roading. Asher works at ACC Toyota, a garage near our home that specializes in off-road modifications. They get business from all over the country, and even other countries, to customize different Toyota's for off-roading. Through the shop, Asher and I arrange many off-roading adventures. ACC appreciates our dedication tremendously. They went as far as to create custom shop shirts with the Land Cruiser on them. Currently, we are working on stripping the exterior of my truck down and building it back up again with after market modifications. I'm employing a "Stinger" bumper, commonly fitted on Jeeps; this bumper is capable of smashing into rocks and shooting the vehicle up over them like an inverse ramp. Off-roading is an amazing hobby and I recommend everyone to try it at some point.
