Mason Taylor is a lifetime addict of all things related to having a blast in the great outdoors. Whether it be in the desert or at the river, there’s never a bad day spent outside—especially if he’s surrounded by family and good friends.
Hailing from San Diego, California, Mason constantly finds himself torn between which direction to head next. The SoCal area surrounds him with so many unbelievable dream locales to take full advantage of. Sometimes choosing which one to hit next can be a dilemma. One thing he never thinks twice about when it’s time to hit the road, however, is what vehicle to drive to get to where he’s going. Mason has been on a steady mission to build up his 2007 GMC Sierra since 2013. Creating an off-road-ready rig that he and his family can hop in and have a good time in has been a top priority—one that has finally paid off in a BIG way.
