Milota95's Trailer Build!

dont get me wrong.. the more protection the better! skids are on my to-do list as well! But I've seen and heard from a lot of people lately that paint the picture of "your a mall crawler/cant compete unless you have *insert brand or armor type here*"

I just think thats silly.. tacomas are incredibly capable out of the box. its more so driver experience than armor.. but thats just my opinion.

 

My favorite part. It has all the camping gear in it. Just have to load the fridge in the truck and pack a dry food bin and clothes and im done.

 

I couldn't agree more josh... its all about that good driver mod an knowing your limits ..

Right?! its so much easier to just go on a trip an have everything were you know its at, an plus we can set up camp an still go wheeling

 

the RTT isnt as bad as I thought it would be to tear down and pack up to go wheeling.. as we found out this last weekend. BUT.. if we were to camp in one spot for multiple days.. and go wheeling during the day.. that might be a bummer. havent ran into an issue yet.. but regardless of what setup you have (minus a trailer obviously) you have to pack up camp anyways to go wheeling.. unless you have a designated spot and can leave your gear there. which most people wouldnt do anyways.

maybe one day we can build a trailer

 

Yep, if i had the $ i would have a full set of aluminum skids but personally I'm not going to worry about it

 

Moab this year convinced me I needed a trailer. 10 days of setting up and breaking down the trailer in the same spot.

 

I already got my trailer

 

thats exactly the scenario I was thinking of. Lol luckily.. As of now.. We dont do a whole lot of those kind of trips. Closest thing we've done was this last weekend and the multiple camp spots.. Which wasn't bad at all.

Fuck off

 

Different strokes for different folks. The way I see it is most of the time when people try to say a truck isnt capable for whatever reason they dont even know what the truck is used for. People that say it isnt capable just live in a fantasy where the only thing that exists is their own little world. Too closed to realize everyone is different. If you enjoy your truck and its capable for what you do then who cares what others think. The problem is I do the same thing but opposite. I think my truck is done, then I see something and want it, like people that have superchargers, I see their posts and it just reminds me every time, asshole

 

Hahahahaha. I love you JD.

 

Im thinking I'm going to make that this year will be god to meet you in person

I know where that is located

JD i love your post this is to true

 

I know man.. Im just tired of people feeling like they are being bullied into getting this stuff because "Tacomaworld" said so. I've been there, done that. had a custom exhaust made because my stock crossover was crushed, have slid on my frame more than my sliders. I think your truck is plenty capable.

anyways.. sorry Q.

 

sorry for what ?? hahah i couldn't agree more hombre everyone has there style an uses out of there rigs

 

skids are stupid. rocks are stupid. what is offroading

 

My sliders have been pointed and laughed at more than once... both for being on a PreRunner, and because they are original Demello square tubes. Well they've protected my truck many times bouncing over rocks, and a couple weeks ago the kick out saved my door and bedside as I side swiped a wall out at Sycamore. I decided I want a little more protection so I'm getting bigger sliders. It doesn't make the old ones no good! Everyone loves Billies... I've blown up 5 of them. People hate ProComps... My rears have been intact for 2 years. It's all opinion! We're all just a bit fanatical about our rides in one way or another!

Trailer... I have one lined up. I just need to figure the finances out as we have lots going on here.... but it'll make a big difference for me once I get it.

I'm looking forward to getting my PRERUNNER out there with you guys! Lets go bounce around!

 

im going to build my self some sliders. just dont want to interfere with my links when i build em so ill wait till i cage and link for sliders

 

Just reading through the trailer build and I saw this. I couldn't agree more with it, I don't have alot of room to talk though as my truck has armor all over it, but that was before I knew how much my truck, and my driving abilities, were really capable of. I've never once used my front or rear bumper for bashing on rocks or getting through trails, so if I could, I'd go back and probably go a different route. I'd stick with the sliders and skids though, they give me a great peace of mind and have saved me more than once when I got a little to on the trails.

 

I think it depends on where your live. The terrain in norcal is very rocky and I mean boulders in between trees type stuff. My sliders and skids get a workout on most trails here. I would have trouble on the trails with a stock front bumper for approaches and my fat ass bumper tends to land on rocks.... all day long....

 

To each their own at the end of the day..

 

X2

its all about location location haha

we don't want a downed 3rd gen on the trail but i agree protection is a must!
