Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Just a drive with a bit of off roading yesterday. Same spot I went a few weeks ago, when it took me 5 days of power washes to get the mud off the under carriage. Wife not having any of that yesterday, so went just a bit up the mountain for some viewpoints. Then a nice drive from Kelowna, Vernon, north to Kamloops area, then east to Salmon Arm, then back south again. Beautiful farmlands on backroads between Vernon and Salmon Arm, what a place that would be to live.

 

Love that area.....used to live in Vancouver, so visited often. Now it's a bit far from Edmonton...

 

Video from a week ago out at Cleghorn trail with some friends. Super new to the video thing, so bear with me.

great video man

 

Thanks dude!

 

for sure. Great job keeping the film steady and to the point.

 

Looks like the days of wheeling my Tacoma may be over, I picked up a 96 Lexus LX450 earlier this week. Threw some used 35s on it and hit the trials last night. It's a factory triple locked model and I don't care about scratches on this one. The wheels are already well loved so who cares if they get some rock rash. And I'm happy to report, it's a beast! Even the dog approves, the wife...not so much...lol She tolerates it, after spinal fusion she has a hard time getting in and out of it. She's 5'3".

Bent my hitch skid a tad. I've got a front winch bumper for it already, just have to paint it. Then it's time to build a rear bumper and get a little more clearance back there.

 

Went for a drive with Angela and the dogs just to get out of the house. It was supposed to be a couple hours. Five hours and several goat trails later we made it home. Home to Lake Creek to Conde Creek to Hyatt lake to Klamath River to Ashland and home

 

You guys have some beautiful sceneries.

Nice, what's the story on the hydrolocked truck?

 

Congrats man my buddy has a triple locked 1993 Land Cruiser. I replaced the engine on it (not easy on these). It's a monster on the trail. My taco cannot keep up!

 

Yeah they are beasts! I’m loving it so far. Definitely saves the taco from trail damage.

 

My factory skid plate looks like that. Like I use it for a sled on wet asphalt. Lol

 

Sorry wasnt today but was last weekend, just getting to the PC, went out Chrysitille Mine area, the area is so beautiful. Think I might go back in a couple of weeks and spend the weekend there.

Last week, did a quick loop of Ensenada-Ojos Negros-Laguna Hanson-Rumorosa. Needed the getaway. Kinda dry after a couple of rainy days though.
