Got out in the woods today

I love my truck!

 

Was hoping to see mud

 

Sorry to disappoint gents, too busy hunting to do any real off roading... I did get it in the woods tho and I do love the new truck. Atrac is a big help. I got my '06 pretty badly stuck near where that top picture was taken in some mud, drive through that same spot with the '16 and it just walked through. One of my hunting areas is in a cultivated field so the earth is very soft and there is a part that is slipperey grass on soft mud and 25 degrees according to the inclinometer, never would have made it without spinning in my '06, not a bit of slip in the '16. I am not sure I will need the locker in this truck...

 

Upstate NY? Looks similar to where I grew up... Just outside of Albany in East Greenbush.

 

looks fun. Love the access cab. Are you close to Ma?

 

Pretty tough to beat a Tacoma for hunting. They fit down a lot of trails full-size trucks won't and I'm a little less worried when I scratch a $30k truck. Good luck hunting, I'm chasing around a nice 12 at my spot.

 

I'm currently waiting on the same truck. Nice to finally see some pics posted. Looks great!

 

Nice

 

I award you double points for purchasing the Access cab.

 

What part of MA are you from?

 

far western, Berkshire county. 10 mins from NY.

 

introduce yourself herehttps://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/western-mass-tacomas.168431/ are you the lady I saw the other day at BJ's with the black dcsb offroad?

 

I am probably 2-3 hours from mass. Centrally isolated in Ithaca, NY.

Took a few more shots later in the day.

 

Very nice!

 

I haven't seen anything but squirrels over here. I usually get a lot more action on this property but I think the high temperatures are keeping the woods quieter.

 

Hi J-Rock,

Did you remove the piece under the front bumper? What is it called? The mud guard maybe?

Here is a picture of the part I'm talking about it.

 

That is an air dam. It improves highway mileage by making the vehicle more aerodynamic. They leave it off of the off road model because it decreases the maximum approach angle (and is likely to get ripped off if you get stuck like I did today...).

 

Thank you. I like the way yours looks without it. How much highway mileage does it really improve? I'm thinking of removing it off of mine.

 

Considering that you have a 2 wheel drive truck I would leave it. If it didn't comprise off road ability I would want one. I guess it is just a matter of taste but it don't mind the look and appreciate efficiency.

 

Appears mud flaps might be a consideration.
