Michigan Tacomas

I'm running 285/70/17 nitto terra grappler G2 SL's. My "right" psi was 14 psi in the front and 11 psi in the rear. Your hankooks are a stiffer tire so you shouldn't be above the psi I ran, you might have to run a little lower. I climbed every hill there, including "test" hill, left to right. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there. The sand was very loose today, very dry. You won't leave silver lake with the same impression you got from the mounds.

 

I drop down to 9 or 10psi at the dunes. You’ll figure it out what works for you pretty quickly.

The Mounds… haha I tried to warn you not to have your expectations high. Holly Oaks will not disappoint though. Make sure you explore the whole park. Some hidden gems in there.

 

Sweet run at Holly Oaks today...lots of Variety

 

Just got back from Drummond Island. What an awesome place. My tacoma is my daily so I didnt get too crazy, we did take the Fossil Ledges trail out through the swamp, through water that was only a few inches from the door seals. Didnt even need the 4WD, this OR is an incredibly capable little truck. I breezed right over the peaked berms that the bigger trucks where scraping on, never even came close to touching.

 

Drummond island is a special place. Been going there for more than 30yrs. It looks like your weimaraner is enjoying the ride!

 

He is a silver lab, but you're not the first person to think that, I get it all the time. He turned 1 when we were there. That good boy got a steak for his birthday.

 

Just wondering how you guys are fairing at the dunes? I hope it's all good.

 

Any suggestions on trails around an hour from the dunes to hit while I'm up there this week? Or anyone wheeling during the middle of the week?

 

Lake County has a ton of trails. Baldwin (county seat) is around an hour from there

 

@19Canuck how did you like Silver Lake dunes? We’re anxiously awaiting a full trip report!

 

Whose going to the dunes this weekend? Toyota Takeover Time!!!

 

I want to say I'd like that but it's probably a shit show of obnoxious behavior and embarrassing displays of Tacoma ownership.

 

I will be there. Its usually mostly people hanging out and checking out each others rigs.

 

So it's Rigs and coffee... In the sand

 

Its more of a meet up so yes. People will go out in groups and run around the dunes but there is no organized running around the dunes. I usually run laps in my truck and give some rides.

 

What makes you say that? I went last year and it was a "normal" day on the dunes. It was fun.

 

As far as I know, everyone has been respectful. No complaints from my buddy who went 2 years ago. I'll be at work during this year's though.

 

The two Tacoma themed days at off-road areas I've been to. It just wasn't my scene. Lots of showing off and inconsiderate behavior in the name of getting cool IG pictures, etc.

 

not at all what this is. That is part of why its in the back corner if the dunes. Alot of people that show up have never really been offroad or to the dunes and come for an opportunity to meet other enthusiasts and check out cool rigs

 

Agreed. I would say most people just do their own thing along with the rest of the crowd. We have a meeting time and place, show up and socialize, get the pics and then people take off and run the dunes.
