Doing the "D" in the Taco

Okay, you're no doubt here reading this post because you saw the title and thought (with your dirty little minds) that this was a "dirty thread" well... it is... and it isn't... dirty in the sense that there was indeed some dirt on the Taco. But not in a gross way you dirty minded readers!
However, I have officially taken the Tacos offroading virginity. And she did not disappoint. Took it like a champ! All the way up, and down the "D". Before your dirty mind runs off on you again allow me to explain... the "D" is a very steep and very "hard" 4wheeling trail up a vertical (it feels vertical when your sliding up and down it... no pun intended, you do slide...) face on the mountain directly behind the Declo area. The "D" as Im sure you have surmised is for "Declo" and there is a D painted on the mountain that has the vertical trail...
Well, me with my infinite wisdom decided "hey... why dont I take my brand new Tacoma up that for her first venture in offroading adulthood?" Not only is my Taco 100%stock save it for a window sticker on the back that says "dont touch" (my sons got that for me because they didn't want anyone else touching dads Truck..) as I was saying it is stock... and did I mention it is a sport? Not an offroad? And it is a MT so no crawl control or any other helpful handy dandy tool on the trail... Well she sure saved my a$$...
I went up it many years ago in my old lifted, offroad tires havin, supercharged air pushin 08 tacoma... and I could swear I did not drop a stink pickle in my pants back then... this time is a different story... maybe its because I was a young 20yr old douche that thought he was invincible at the time...
This time was very sketchy... and I cried like a little pretty girl all the way up.... and all the way down... thank god noone was with me in the truck so that I can now say I wasn't scared... but you guy know the truth... Im a wuss... Im trusting you with this information so hush hush.


Alright alright Ill show some pics... and if you're really nice about asking perhaps Ill upload the vid of me coming back down cryin and whining...

Im sure yall have done much more, and far more sketchy trails but this was a crap in the tighty whiteys for me... alot steeper than the pictures make it look... especially when your going up and feel like you're going to tip over backwards...
Im an idiot what can I say...


FEEL FREE TO UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS ON SOME SkETCHY TRAILS AND SHOW ME HOW ITS REALLY DONE!

 

Beautiful view!

 

Looks fun

 

Hey that’s a Magic valley below

 

Sure is!

 

So cool never heard of Delco before.

 

Coincidentally your name is "DirtyD". Perhaps DirtyD can go get Dirty doing the D sometime. It seems like your destiny my friend.

 

Been through Declo a couple times and never noticed the D on the mountain. Crazy part is I work for the Sawtooth National Forest.

 

If you blink you will drive right through the town.

 

You tried way too hard with this thread

 

@EatSleepTacos @DOUBLLD

 

I have no idea why you tagged us, but I did learn a new phrase today. "stink pickle"

 

OP is looking for sketchy trails, I think.

what is stink pickle?

 

A turd

 

makes sense

 

that looks so fun for a quick run. wish we had something like that in DFW.

 

Okay, note taken... next time ill just halfass it. Thanks for the input

 

That sounds like an awesome Job to have. Id imagine you get to do some fun off the beaten path driving often right? Sounds like a job Id like to have. Jealous.

 

It is pretty fun thats for sure. I was actually regretting it when I reached the first part of steep grade. But once you start you have to go to the top bcuz there is no turning around, and I certainly didn't want to try going down in reverse. Got the adrenaline going but it was very fun also

 

Your convo definitely made me laugh...
Cheers
