    Sup guys!

    In May I'm planning on going from LA, through Arizona, New Mexico up through Colorado Springs to Denver, then head back towards MOAB / Aspen, to Utah and Nevada back home.

    Any travel tips or advice is appreciated!

    It's not too far. You should be able to do it in about 6-10 stops for fuel. Use the restroom when you fuel up. Get a good nights sleep before you leave. You should be able to do it in a few days. Not a bad run. The truck will be fine. A Cannonball run would probably be a little quicker, but you should knock it out pretty quick.

    Haha I'm in no hurry. The point is to take my time, get some quality dirt / mud on her.

    I just did LA to Montana and that was pretty fun, so I'm excited to see the Rockies in my own truck this time.

    I figured... Yeah, that actually sounds like a nice drive. I have no advice for the trip. You drive the best gen Tacoma, you don't need my help. Put some sort of liquid in the tank and go. Eat some good food, don't hit any animals and you'll have a good trip.

    I'll do my best on the animals. I do always get scared of that, especially at night, but luckily I got the plated front bumper.

    Will report back with pictures
