New TRD Offroad to help with my AZ Trail journey

Sup everyone,

Just picked up a 2018 TRD Offroad with Premium package option last Friday. Gonna take her on an adventure from Oct 2018 through early fall of 2019 as I spend my weekends off section hiking the 804 mile Arizona trail. At least now I know I won't have any problems reaching some of the remote difficult to get to trail heads. When not working hiking, climbing a mountain I can probably be found on a golf course hence the name oneputtblunder. After the AZT we'll be off climbing some big peaks Whitney via the Muir route CO 14'ers etc.

Bone stock at the moment getting wheels and tires mounted on Saturday


Got these thrown in with my deal from the dealer getting mounted with LT265/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT2's Saturday morning.


In the short term might not do anything else besides adding a light bar to the front to help me navigate the FS roads to trailheads in the dark.

Found this forum researching all things Taco before I picked up the truck. Great resource

 

I've ridden the first 12 miles on my bike starting at the state line campground. Looks like a gorgeous through hike if it was any indication of the other 792 miles.

 

Welcome! Enjoy your truck and adventures. You can post pictures of them here:

It should be pretty awesome and through some pretty remote spots that are not heavily used. I'll be starting at the Mexico border 10/6 and working north. Should be back to the PHX area around 01/05. Will be a lot of miles driving each weekend to pick up where I left off, but as a working dude not many options to take 40+ days off to through hike the entire thing in one shot.

 

Welcome to TW... Nice ride!!

Welcome!

 

Hey! Have fun with the off roading and welcome!

 

Thanks for the welcome, I'm already buying sh!t I had no idea I wanted or existed this could be dangerous.

 

Lol yup! If you're going to do off roading make sure you do the rear diff breather mod. And the AC drain mod too while you're at it. Both are good long term fixes.
