Let's see your Tacos in scenic places!

Love that trail. Funny how that hill doesn’t look steep in pics. Did a fun trip last year birds eye gulch, mosquito pass, red cone, radical hill, north and middle fork of the swan, saints john, Lots of cool trails out there. Plus mountain goats

 

Missed the mountain goats on last week's trip, although I did run into a porcupine.

 

Wonder if we crossed paths. I got super high in CO last week too!

Promise this'll be my last batch of photos until I actually take another trip!

Some other passes too:

 

Driving home thru the Inyo Mountains because it's more fun than 395.

Took my new to me Tacoma into the mountains for the first time yesterday to test it out!

 

These vehicles are incredibly capable in their stock form. Avoid the temptation to "build" it like everyone on Instagram (and a large population here), as those mods will absolutely kill your gas mileage. I used to get 20-21.5 mpg pretty consistently. Lift/tires/armor later and I'm down to around 15.

 

I am doing my best to avoid the temptation! Haaha. The only thing I really plan on doing is new tires. Something more suitable for casual logging road driving & snow rated for the Canadian winters! And some upgrades on : breaks, lighting, OEM skid plate and little things like that.

 

Not sure if it will be the same in Canada, but I fully endorse the General Grabber ATX. One of the best bang for the buck tires out there IMHO. Of course, do your own research.

 

Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely check them out!

 

Lookout Trail at Rowher Flats in Santa Clarita.

 

Fwiw, Falken Wildpeaks are killer in the snow as well as off-road.

Also.... It's brakes. Not breaks. Lol. EBT Greenstuff if you want the best fronts money can buy.

 

That seems to be the most recommended tire for sure. Will definitely be looking at getting some.

& lol ya thx. EBT? Not EBC? Nothing came up for EBT

 

It's EBC. I was voice texting

 

Hahah no worries. Thank you for the reply!

It's the end of winter in the Appalachians.... And the begining of mud season (circa March, 2022)

 

I said no more posts until the next trip. So... the next trip was to explore the CA coast. We saw a lot of wildlife, and even more sprinter vans. Anyway here are some cool bridges:









I don't know if it was terrible lighting or lack of creativity, but I couldn't do this last one justice from any angle... It is really good bridge.



It was a beautiful drive!
