    @Mike likes Tacos Mike, gonna back out of this particular trip myself.

    Btw, you should check out The Slot and Diablo Drop Off, BUT, I HIGHLY recommend that IF you decide to do Pinyon Drop-off (a.k.a. Heart Attack Hill) to be very careful and mindful of the HIGH danger. Just saying. I've never been, but man is it crazy still. I have done the other 2x that I mentioned just above. Regarding The Slot, NOT that bad, but can definitely be a "pucker factor" moment for sure, LOL!!! The sand is EXTREMELY SOFT and as you "drop off" each "step", if you will, it feels like your truck is slipping on the back wheels? So, in a sense, it is, more or less, a controlled slip! Just to give you some hints. You MAY "tip" forward a little as well?!

    To add to the above, you can't reach Heart Attack Hill without trying to get through The Squeeze. Here's me trying to get through it a few years ago in my FJ..

    Yeah, that too, LOL!!! Pretty cool there. Just out of curiosity, how was it going down that hill??? Do you recommend really good flex with your rig or ? I know that's pretty much a retarded question, but had to ask. :notsure:

    I actually didn't fit through. That picture is as far as I got basically. You see that little bump my driver's side tire is on.. as you go forward -- and it was worse with the wide track width on my FJ at the time -- the truck will get off camber toward the passenger side and into the rock unless you really hug the driver's side wall. Tacoma's should be able to make it just fine, to be honest. My FJ had 1.25" wheel spacers, negative offset wheels, and 35" tires, which meant my track width was close to ~6" wider than stock. I got some mild damage in the picture below but if I went any more forward I would've broken one or both of the passenger windows.

    Hah, with how fat the Tundra is I'd probably drive over the obstacle riding the edges of both walls.

    HOLY SHI* BATMAN!!! :eek::goingcrazy: I don't know, I think if you went any further it would have done more than "windows", LMAO!!! Just WOW!!! That fender damage looks pretty deep and I could just imagine what it would have been going down the whole length of your vehicle. I watched this one vid of a 2nd Gen Taco and he just RIPPED his mirror away!!!l

    Btw, KUDOS to you for even making the attempt at it and that goes for everyone else as well!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers: I just don't have that nerve, if you will. Maybe someday when I'm still married to the same woman and the dog dies first instead of her and the kids are still at home and I'm terminally ill and have nothing else to live for, LMAO!!! So, until that happens, which it won't because, I'm not married and don't have kids and, as far as I know, NOT terminally ill... sooooo, I guess it will be QUITE SOME TIME before I attempt Pinyon Drop Off (a.k.a. Heart Attack Hill), LMAO!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:
