Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Did you need chains? Or were you good without them?

 

No chains but I left Sunday afternoon before the big snowstorm.

 

Northern California deep snow

 

Bought the truck Monday, yesterday (with less than 100 miles on it) took it out to Stansbury Island at the south end of the Great Salt Lake to get it on some dirt cause I couldn't wait. Not really serious off-roading, but it was fun to try it out off pavement:

 

Put my Stealth Pro knob on. Thanks again, @mesojdm

 

Pioneer town to Big Bear last weekend

 

You write up a trip report for this?

 

Not yet. Rarely have time to even post. But I downloaded the entire trip on my gps. I’ll post it up

 

Between the snowmelt and the rain, the roads here in Iowa are getting pretty ridiculous

 

Hit Cleghorn again today - hands down overall the most ideal place to take the taco out to play. Beats even Ocotillo Wells in my books, plus it's close to home!

Cleghorn Rd, Phelan, CA 92371

Unfortunate Tacoma found along the trail ☹️ owner showed up and recovery was made!

 

Played in the backcountry in Big Bend National Park

 

WTF! Why is the sand Taco in its side?

 

NW of canyonlands

 

Same question I had man, aside from if the bed cover was for sale

I believe wrong line and turning wrong way while tipping caused him to fully roll it on the side.

Tow truck to get him out basically made it go from "it will buff out" to "shits fucked up now" . She really was salvageable and prob needed an alignment . Now there's alot of work to be done.

Wonder if he's a member here

 

Somewhere on the east side of Owens Valley, CA, on a beautiful (almost) spring day!

 

Did some SoCal exploring today,
Besides some hikers and bikers it was just me, the truck, and the painted lady butterflies migrating through this time of year






Edit to clarify, I know that sign says no motor vehicles, that's just a common hike in this area that offshoots the trail I was on. I even ran into a ranger I was breaking no rules or destroying no nature just drivin on a fire road

 

Who is the owner of this Quicksand? Looks like it was a nice truck! Story? what went wrong?

 

Definitely a nice truck, I can't speak for the owner to exactly what happened since I we arrived on the trail shortly after the accident, but when he cane back he mentioned just bad line.

Hope he chimes in. I wonder how the truck is doing

 

Hopefully everyone was okay! Cleghorn chalks up another KO. That trail has spots that are so off camber it’s becoming more and more risky for the average weekend warrior. I only do it on my enduro now. And as dirt bikes continue to use the lower portions, the angles will only get worse.

On another note, I went to Death Valley this weekend, but my Taco tagged out and my enduro did all the exploring. 350miles in 2 days, my Taco will for sure get it’s turn next time I’m there. I was actually bummed to see so many Jeep’s and not a single Taco all weekend. My taco has been to over 13k feet, but this elevation was a new record for me

 

Went to Carrizo Plain National Monument yesterday if you can call it off-roading.
