    So. Many. Stickers.
    I have mine aimed *slightly* lower, works excellent off road and in bad weather on road with low traffic. Esp good in the woods and country roads

    PXL_20230318_022824475.MP.jpg

    Trail G9 at Windrock. Do NOT do this trail without a guide and armor. It's "Blue medium" on the maps... You WILL wreck your shit without someone who knows the trail. It's one of those.... Lol

    Pic is deceptive, I'm facing super uphill here and this is probably the second easiest part of that particular trail

    This is how I buy fluid film.

    Gonna tell you what I told you on FB lol.... Armor. Skids and sliders are a must for Windrock. And don't be afraid to actually air down (were talking 15 psi, not 25 like a noob) :D

    What they consider "medium" means armor and friends with tow straps. :D (I'm not an expert, but I've been there for a combined total of 32 days of wheeling over the past few years lol)

    Most of the G trails (NOT G1) are fairly easy. You'll get dirty, but shouldn't break anything or get stuck. The G trails are mining access "roads" and there's plenty of off road traffic if you do end up needing a tug

    Feel free to PM me when it's closer to time, I can shoot you a few fun routes.

    And always remember.... Park rules, no alcohol, no tolerance.

    Wow, you've put in quite a bit of wheeling there! Got my lift and skids, and the sliders are coming in a couple weeks. Of course I'm going down there with family and I have to get them back home. Sounds like if I make it to the park I'll stick to the easy stuff and avoid breaking my truck. I'll probably only have room for some essential tools and recovery equipment.

    I'd love to find some easy dirt roads or something in the Smoky Mountains and take my mom for a little side trip. I need to start searching stuff out and make some plans.

    No story.
    That's just what we have been saying after we get off a trail.
    Just happy that they still drive straight.

    You guys ever have something in your head that you think is true, and then you all of sudden learn that it's not and you wonder why you ever thought it was true in the first place? For some reason I thought third gen Tacomas had had two 12 volt cigarette lighter ports. The obvious one by the cup holders and then for some reason I also thought they had one in the center console. Just learned today they do not lol.

    I'm no 3rd gen expert but I think some 3rd gens do in fact have a 12v port in the center console. Anyone with a 3rd gen have one or link to a thread on this?

    Not that this helps you feel less crazy, I'm absolutely certifiable. Just ask my imaginary friend and he will agree. :bananadead:

    Well now I'm thoroughly confused. Mine has two USB ports with hinged covers but no 12 volt in the center console lol
