    Depending on where you're located, there's other Tacoma owners in the area who know places you can go off road with your DCSB 2wd. Give 'em time to chime in, then go enjoy your new truck!..

    Schnebly hill road is a beautiful and easy trail. The road is rough but I never used four wheel drive on my last trip. I would pay attention to weather reports as a monsoon may cause some mud which could give your 2x4 some problems. Going from flag to sedona also helps a little since you'll be headed downhill.

    Bulldog Canyon - Fun, easy, can do in 2WD, just need some minor clearance. Also a cool wash you can drive up and down in. You need a free permit to use the trail.

    I took my son "wheeling" to Twin Peaks for his birthday .

    "Father of the Year" or call "Child Protective Service"

    You make the call...

    Its not really thread jacking when the guy that started the thread is participating in the fun, plus only 1 person actually posted a real answer so far. So just keep the Tuesday morning fun going!

    Here's an easy place to go. Its on Scottsdale Dr just north of the 101. Drive North on Scottsdale dr. Then turn left on Greyhawk Dr. Sometimes I turn right, bust a U'ie and then drive straight through the light.

    There is sand, trails and a large hill. My wife's 4 Runner can handle it. A nice place to do donuts, light wheeling and some mounds and hills.

    My sons and I went here after wheeling at Twin Peaks. Happy Birthday!!!
