Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

You've never been to New Mexico in winter.... It's cold as shit

 

Was out hunting the other day with the dog. Sun was coming up burning through the fog and he stopped so I snapped a pic. Just an iPhone pic and it did that HDR thing since I was looking into the sun, so the pic isn't that good. But it looks cool. Also didn't get any mud since it is my buddy's property.

 

I have Bilstein 6112 on front with the preload set on the fifth notch(most preload) got about 2 3/4" lift, back has Bilstein 5160's and add a leaf and got about 1 1/2" lift. Wheels are SR8 16x8 with BFG KO2's 285/75/R16

I ride dirt bikes and use the bed for work so the long bed was a must and never liked the look of the double cabs anyway. Got a bunch of photo's floating around here of the truck. Here are a few I have already posted.

 

Pretty dog and truck. I've got a blue sport and also a liver GSP. He's only about three months old though so he's nowhere that size but has a very similar pattern.

 

Found some more places to play today.

 

Wanted to see how the 2016 with the Duratracs worked off road in the snow. Not disappointed.

 

And yes. I am lucky to call this place my home!

 

Took it up into the hills outside of Bend, Oregon. Used crawl control. Worked great.

 

New mexico is a very unique state, a hidden gem if you are into outdoor sports. Tons of amazing natural wonders and beauty. The standard of living is low so don't raise your kids here.

 

Southern Missouri, Northern Arkansas back roads,
testing all systems on the TRD OR. All performed nicely as expected, lots of clacking with Crawl but it handled well. More mud and slippery rock, gravel in the Ozarks.

Next time out I may have the GoPro on to document the ride..yep, as piddly of an option the mount is it is a hell of an idea and I am gonna use it.

My raptor steps seem to gather the bulk of the mud and guts of the road and may consider replacing them with some simple sliders later on.

Looking forward to getting out west and in the desert once again, more wide open spaces to travel than here in the Ozarks.

 

Enjoy cleaning that up. That was the first thing I did as well.

 

Took me 20 minutes. It's clean. Blow it off with pressure washer then hand wash it

 

Yea, pressure washer is on the to buy list.

 

Yep, Elko is one of those overlooked destinations, awesome place...

 

Mt. Hood, OR

 

Nice University of Portland sticker, what year are you?

 

Hey, thanks! Graduated in May with my BSN.

 

Out China Hat, per chance?
