    Removed front mud flaps.
    Well, I finally got a chance to take my new Tacoma out and have some fun. This is on Castle Hot Springs road north of Lake Pleasant headed toward Crown King. My rig is fully stock except for removing the mud flaps, still had the paper plates on it. After seeing what she can do, I am extremely happy with my purchase.

    As for trail damage, I banged her twice in the front, a couple of small dents in the stock skid plate, and one tiny scratch on the drivers door. I'd call it a successful virgin voyage.

    Warming up for the trail, hill climbing:
