Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

not trying to ruin my day by rolling around in the mud. does my little viair pump have enough balls to pop a bead? it gets tired around 40psi read on the pump/36 TPMS

 

Nope. Carry a spare

Edit: and I'm assuming you mean seat a bead.

 

yes seat. but you must admit it makes a loud popping sound when the bead seats. I give myself full credit

realistically how many PSIs to seat a bead with dirt in the wheel? i doubt ARB on board compressors can do it

 

its not the psi that matters as much as a fast rush of air.

not possible without a big tank

 

This many psi...

My daughter and I went out and ran some trails through the Virginia and Nightingale Hills in Northern Nevada. Found the abandon Nightingale Mine which was fun to explore around. It was an old Tungsten Mine during the World Wars. Then we were lucky to come across a herd of wild mustangs running about in the valley below the mine. My kid took some pictures to remember the event so that was beyond cool. Such a cool area out there...and we literally didn't run across one other person or vehicle the whole time we were out there. Has to be my new favorite place to explore. The vast open land is just so awe inspiring. So much to see and explore already planning on going back when I can and camp for a few days and just take my time exploring the endless canyons and roads out there..

Truck performed flawlessly again. Its just so comfortable. Just love how this thing climbs in 4 wheel low as we went up a steep wash over the saddle in the mountains. Its a mountain goat when you need it to be. OEM tires handled almost 70 miles of desert driving in sharp rocks without a blink. Keeping my fingers crossed going forward with them....having good luck so far. Even did some fast desert driving in 4x4 high up close to 45 mph over a few whoop sections and I was really impressed with how the TRD OR suspension just soaked it all up. It wasn't anything a baja truck would even feel but we had an absolute blast. Was as perfect a trip as I could have hoped for....can't wait to do it again.

 

Absolutely awesome, great pics! I love these threads and can't wait to get back to the mainland from Hawaii and see some of this for myself.

 

Yes sir! Wildpeak AT3W 265/70R17. Thanks man! I tried staying close to stock wheel size, I don't plan on going any bigger

 

Nice looking taco!

 

maybe not today but last weekend.
went to lazy spring in lehigh florida, i live one town over on fort myers so it a 45 min drive.
tons of fun, went with a few friends who have very fun toys.

first time off road so next time ill get better pics and videos of the obstacles and if my truck vs pics from inside my truck:


my buddy's truck was able to go in much deeper mud/water since he has an 18" lift on 46" tires.
all i have are new 32" duratrac's

 

It would've been nice to have some mud around, but with this weather we've had these past few weeks, the trail is dried out, but luckily there was still some water in the creek

 

Thanks man! You have a nice looking taco as well! I'm loving the overland gear! Hopefully someday I'll get my taco looking like yours. #goals

 

Very nice.

Last time I went it was closed.

 

I pray you didn't go into that mine without head protection, back up lights, and some knowledge of mine exploration safety?

 

Nope. Basic common sense kept us out. Closest I got was where I took the picture from the road of the opening.

 

just carry a can of starter fluid and a match.. problem solved

 

I live in Montana If you come up on someone stuck in the woods normally its a methed out hill billy. I might need to re locate, how do i tell my wife why we are moving haha....

 

Oh, man, that's no fun! We explore abandoned mines for fun. Let me know if you would like to know anything about them or the process

 

Wow looks like you guys are getting hammered there! I used to spend some time in the area. I love Tahoe, my uncle used to manage the squaw valley sport shop. Miss that place a lot, I remember one winter we had to shovel a tunnel from our door to the garage we got a sh*t ton of snow! It sounds like the last few years were a little sparse.
