2015 Tacoma Dbl Cab through the Squeeze in Anza Borrego

Just a video of some custom body modification. replacement mirror already ordered.
This was with the sway bar still installed. I have removed the sway bar since and will be going back to the squeeze soon to see if I make it this time with my mirror still attached.

Lift includes 3" front and 2" rear. 33" tires.

 

Always wanted to go to Anza, biggest F-ing desert on the continent and I've heard/seen pics of its beauty.

 

Good for you man. I wouldn't have tried it. Any pics of the fender damage? Looks like you made minimal contact on the passenger side, but cameras do funny things.

 

Some of the body damage...it's not all but it's the worst of it.
Bumpers will be replaced soon when money is available. Got to remove the metal valve stems and get the rubber ones. The cap got stuck in the valve and we had to pry the plastic out so it would stop leaking, it helped me air down though.
I hear people put the air sensors in their spares so the idiot light doesn't come on, but I was wondering what happens when you need to use the spare? can you drive around with the sensors flopping around inside?

The door was just after the squeeze in the rock garden area damn loose boulder rolled over and caught the door and my rim. Center pieces of the rims were removed since.

Just breaking it...in.

 

If you want to remove the TPMS valve stems and run regular rubber stems, there is a mod to disconnect the sensor module. I believe it's hidden in your headliner above the rear driver's side (near the third brake light). All you have to do is disconnect the plug coming out of the module and no more low pressure light. There are a few guys that have done it here. I think there's a thread somewhere, FYI.

 

Added another video thread from this day here:

You need some rock sliders.

Yes, yes I do. but money isn't all there.
Just spent 336$ on the front skid from Bud Built.
Sliders were first on my list but someone recommended under carriage stuff first.
as was said 200$ investment saves a 2500$ repair.
and I had to agree. But yes Rock sliders might actually be next. we'll see.

thanks for the video though!

 

Just watched all 3 of your videos. Looks like a fun trip. I'm hoping to make it out there first weekend of December for some camping and exploring. Did you have to use your locker at any point? I'm open diff and want to make sure I wont be getting stuck anywhere. Would like to try the squeeze also.

 

Locker? hahahaha I wish I had a locker, I have a TRD Sport. No locker included.
you on facebook? PM me if you are, I'd head out there and wheel with you in December.
Always good to have a buddy.

 

Don't have Facebook. But we are planning on heading out first weekend of December.

 

Justa survey of Heart Attack Hill...me on the right, Brian and my daughter in the middle

 

ah, uh,

 

I know funds are limited, but get sliders as soon as you can man. You're wheeling at a level that really requires decent skids and sliders to avoid serious damage.

Bumps and scrapes on the cab are no biggie, but if you smash that cab in... you're hosed.

Hey MX Patriot, Got the BudBuilt Front slider coming in, already ordered, and the rock sliders will also be ordered this week.
Yeah I had to get soem dirt under the nails, but I also took advice and started ordering more armor. please don't tell the wife, she'll kill me that the kids aren't eating this week. hahahaha

 

Will do thanks!

 

Front Skid was installed this weekend at Superstition Mountain before going out.
Stayed a day and a night out there with my girls and some friends. Got high centered once while I was alone, dug myself out.
Got to explore more of that place.

 

What do you do for armor for the cab?
