Set up to run the Rubicon ?

Ok so has anyone ran the Rubicon or Fordyce with ther 2nd gen tacoma ? If so what mods did you have and what are you recomondations .

 

I've been on the Rubicon in a Land Rover but never a Tacoma.

In general, you'll want 33 or larger tires, lockers, body armor, good front and rear recovery points and spare parts.

 

Sliders, front / rear bumper :/ Locker would help too

I have done it back in 2006, I love that place....

 

Basically a stock 2010 4Runner Trail...a well armored taco could tackle as well I would think...

Too bad that is only the enterence to the trail and they already jacked it up




here is mine:



Same spot, yikes, tho i had no problems

 

I have been on both trails But with my 4runner and that was built for such trails . Just curious if anyone has taken there 2nd gen on it . I guess anything is possable .

 

Freeze has taking his 2nd Taco on the Rubicon and survived..

 

pretty sure "the beast" has been on it. But it's a linked SAS + much more

 

Wow thy first entrance is a doozy, jealous all the good rock spots are out west...

 

I have seen some FJs on it some guys from Canada came down for the MCR but i have never seen a Tacoma other than AWSUMDC

 

thats hardly a tacoma anymore though

 

Freeze came down from Canada for the MCR..he did it in his LT 2nd gen tacoma

 

there are alot of good spots back east as well . I use to go to Tellico alot before they closed that down .

 

I do not know who Freeze is but i think i know who you are talking about now . was he with 2 FJs

 

i dont know who his group was..

Freeze has a taco setup with the All Pro LT front suspension and a bunch of other goodies..it's a white taco, im sure you have seen a pic of it somewhere. he frequents TTORA more often then here

nice

 

What kinda land rover if you dont mind me asking?

 

I think a well modded 2nd Gen could get thru but it's a pretty gnarly trail. Especially after this last winter with how much snow we had and when it melted it eroded a lot more of the trail. I've been wheelin that trail with my dad for awhile. have a 91 pickup access cab that was stock. We'd go up there, break something, come back rebuild it better, go up again and break something else ect. Hers our creation pretty much based off the rubicon over the years. Gets us thru with no problems at all.

 

that new 4runner looks so nice in the rocks
