Hi PaulT. I am in West Columbia. I am also new to tacoma and off-roading as well, so i have the same questions as you lol. I have not got my tacoma yet i am waiting on the trail hunters to come out. I am trying to do research on South Carolina off reading also. The only things i have found out for sure are about the scar and gulches off road park but i have not visited either place in person yet as my current car is 370z lol.
