    Hey guys! So I just got my '19 OR tacoma earlier this month and I was hoping ya'll might know some good trails to go out on. I haven't had a chance to add anything to her yet so I'm hesitant doing anything crazy without better skid plates or rock sliders, but I need to get out in some dirt. Any suggestions?

    I'm in the charlotte area but I'm willing to drive a bit for anywhere open before April.

    There are a few trails in the area. Hurricane Creek, Chestnut Mountain, etc. I think theres some links in my signature.

    They are all pretty tame and fine for a stock truck.

    Welcome to TW! There are a few trails I know of. One in the Hendersonville area. It’s actu starts as a camping sight and drives a few hours in. Another I found is in the Smokies and that is a really beautiful ride! I haven’t been to Hurricane creek trail yet. I think that starts the Trans America Trail? Another really good resource is “Overland Bound”

    Not sure of the actual name of it. I think it’s North Mills River recreation area. You drive through the camping area and it brings you through Pisgah National forest. It’s just a gravel road. A lot of national park back country camping sites. It’s a nice little gem in the AVL area when you don’t feel like driving up into Tennessee

    Hey, I'm here in Asheville. I'm attempting to recover from getting my manual transmission rebuilt in my 2000 Taco and a new driveshaft! Holy crap! $4,400!!! 5th popped out the other day, so, it's going back after they had it for 3 weeks! Anyone have a manual? Anyone ever go out in the forest around here? No snow but I'd like to go sometime. My BFG A/T KO2's are a little low on tread, had'em for about 2yrs. now. I'm running 31x10.5R15's. I'm looking to get new tires soon. Anyone know if I can fit 32's on a stock Taco? I'd like to put in an ICON lift, but after dropping $$$, it's going to be a while.

    Afternoon all, I'm in Arden. On my 2nd 2nd generation Taco. 06 DCLB, SR5 4x4. Bought it from an old dude with 70,000 miles (notice the old man topper), and new frame replacement!!!!
    Anyways, looking to do a 5100's or leveling kit up front. I only have 245's on my truck right now, and it eats my heart away. My old 07 had 265's stock, but no kit or anything.

    I've heard so many ways to go. This my is family car, commute to work, weekend warrior truck. Don't want to change to much stuff, just a better stance, and a little more ground clearance. My mountain biking can take me into some tight spots.

    Also, isn't there a off-road shop on Leicester Hwy? I swear I see some awesome rigs parked up there. Whats it called if I'm correct?

    Pretty sure you just talking about Yellow Gap road (FS 1206). I think about 11 mile of gravel, takes you to the Pink Beds area. Definitely a fun drive, some good switch backs and brake bumps. Some good trails out there too, hiking and biking that aren't used too much. One of my favorite areas near AVL. Sampson Road outside of Boone has some serious moves on it though. Can't go wrong with anything in Wilson Creek really.

    Edit: forgot someone asked me about it the other day and I have them first dibs. Sorry

    Thanks, I’ll be checking out Sampson Rd. I think I might be buying a house near Boone. Can’t wait to check out the trails up around that way.

    I’ve been to Diamondback off-road for some work in Swannanoa, They mainly work on Jeeps. I had my rock sliders and Tundra brakes put on there. I had to have someone remove one of the sliders and reattach it. Also my dust shield was rubbing pretty good after they worked on it. I’m going to check out OGRE in Pisgah Forest for the installation of my rear springs.
