Off-Roading in a PreRunner??

So I have a 2007 TRD Off-Road PreRunner. I also have cooper all terrain tires and rear diff lock. If I take my truck to a off-roading park/area, what are my chances of getting stuck?

 

depends entirely on the trail you're running, and how you drive

there's lots you can do without a front diff, but only if you're smart and on a reasonable trail

 

even though my truck is 2WD?

 

You can do A LOT with 2WD, even MORE with a Rear Diff Locker.

Just need to be smart and pay attention to your trail. Don't push it on too crazy terrain. Keep it simple and safe and work your way up. Better equipping your vehicle will also increase your overall performance off road, but it isn't required. You can definitely go all stock, just be weary of the trails you are traveling, weather conditions, and your own comfort level.

 

i did lots of trails with my 1990 Buick Lesabre on 4 year old all-seasons...

like other's have said: generally, if you're wise about it, you should be fine
most of the areas you aren't going to be capable of handling should make that pretty apparent to you right away

 

you won't be doing any super gnar stuff, but you can still have fun in 2wd on the rocks

 

I wouldn't get too extreme unless you've got another rig with you that has 4wd and/or a winch to pull you out.

 

You can have fun in a two wheel drive, did it myself for a couple of years. Like everyone suggested don't overdue your limits unless you have someone who can pull you out.

 

Take a 4x4 with you and you will have a lot of fun. If you get stuck they can help you out. I had a prerunner. I had 200 pounds of sand bags over the rear axle, ATs, and a lift on my prerunner. I decided to upgrade though.

 

Don't. Just Don't.
You are opening up a can of worms...
It started out as a perfectly innocent thread, as many do, but then... then it will go to poop.

The 4x4 vs 2x4 guys will be at each others throats...
The mocking of the 2x4 guys will make the 4x4 guys feel almighty and powerful....
Then the fuel economy statements will be made in rebellion to the 4x4 people along with the "we just didn't need it, it seemed impractical and not worth the money."

And then when the tension becomes to high... the "well you have a small penis" jokes will come out and tacomaworld will erupt in bad typing, grammatical errors, and offensive slurs. Friends will become enemies and the legendary tacoma truce will be forgotten. Gangs will be formed. Hatred will fill the hearts of the once golden tacoma people and time will stand still, as it once did during the dark ages when the "VW beetle" was popular. Life will go on.. slowly... less exciting.. in a seemingly darker place all because tacomaworld will have fallen to the very people who once created it. Then, when all hope is lost and life seems so irrelevant a light will come. A forgotten light. A Canadian light. The all and powerful "OZ-T" of tacomaworld will have to restore the balance. He will of course need the help of Bigfoot or Sasquatch out of the deep Canadian wilderness but they will fix it, they will not fail us. And then we will tell our children of this great war, of the men and trucks lost at the hands of their brothers, and we will not forget. We will NEVER forget.

So simply put.. No, don't offroad in a 2wd truck. You will probably get stuck and break something. 4x4 is an option for a reason, if you want it buy it. It is always worth the money.

 

^^^^

well then..

 

Stay on moderate trails and you'll be fine. And stay away from sand, mud, or any serious rock crawling.

 

It's called sarcasm.. try it sometime.

 

EPIC! LOL

 

Here is my Epic thread on the subject. It was locked.

At one point I owned a Kia Minivan of all things (I don't like to admit this ), boy I used to punish the crap out of it. I think it being Front wheel drive helped, but yeah you can offroad just about anything. All depends on the driver, clearence and some understanding of the terrain ahead.

I've had plenty of fun in 2wd trucks, shoot even in the mud (not smart to go mudding in 2wd though ).

 

Loving this

 

What just happened?? lol . I think my life has forever been changed by this one post.

 

Just go really fast
