    Probably requires a permit before starting a U-turn.

    Looking for suggestions on super easy trails close to the Donner Lake area.

    Headed up there next weekend with some friends and would like to take their kids out on an adventure (first time outdoors).

    Vehicles are mostly stock AWD. Somewhere with a lake and short hiking trails close by would be ideal.

    First thing that comes to mind is @Fernando second home (I've never been) but open to other suggestions.

    Those are called dirt roads.

    The Lindsey Lakes area is nice.

    Also saw on the Dumbarton Bridge a white 5th gen 4R with SCS wheels with airbags deployed from rear ending someone.

    I think the driver was some Asian chick.

    Didnt take a picture bc fuck ruberneckers

    That whole area up above there is non-motorized. A lot of trails and lakes.

    If you get stuck there’s extra fun to be had while eating your passenger.

    Hey guys! New to the thread here, just a college kid in Rohnert Park looking to get some advice on stuff and hopefully build it into a rig enough to wheel mildly one day.( Dad has the 2018 Jeep Rubicon so thats the wheeling toy :D) Was looking at lifts recently any recommendations? Just looking to run 265/75/17 on it and not sacrifice road comfortability at all as this will be my daily for years to come! Was particulary looking at the Headstrong Fox level 1 kit any negatives or positives that outweigh the other? Wont be doing anything serious offload just a few dirt trails to get to some camping spots!

    There’s some Asian girl that drives a lifted 4th gen somewhere near me. License plate “taktekl”. Last I saw her she was using turn lanes to jump in front of people.

    Welcome man. Sonoma State? I went there freshman year when I got my first Tacoma :thumbsup:

    Honestly just drive it. If you’re doing dirt roads, a stock Tacoma is more than capable and can fit 265s without a lift.

    In the event you do want to run bigger tires and a lift, you can save up for something with a little better ride quality. Spend the money now on gas and trips!

    I should probably know this but does the OR have additional clearance over the SR? If you want to be a bit frugal for now you can snag up one of those full sets and basically have the OR suspension without the price tag
