    Lots of expensive shit
    Whats your goal with the truck? A jeep will do better rock crawling because it is a solid axle, will articulate better.

    A tacoma will do pretty well on most 4X4 trails, but can also run through the desert well even with just a nice mid travel set up.

    A jeep is a short wheel base which doesnt feel as stable at highway speeds

    A tacoma has a long wheel base and IFS, will feel more stable in daily driving and also have a better ride quality.

    Lockers will help for rock crawling, and can make a big difference.

    We tried to do Tie Rod Canyon but it closed now..

    So we ended up out at Sloan Lake and did part of the track from the race a while ago. Rocky in some parts, but ALOT of soft sand. Great for some high speed runs.

    Did some exploring of Sloan Canyon as well. But that trail is also closed. Found a bunch of dead ends..

    No pics from the day... Next time.

    It would be cool to do the whole track next.:eek:

    That makes sense now.. We saw a couple trucks out there "testing".

    There were still plenty of signs up for the drivers. That's how we knew we were on the course.

    The course seemed to go around Sloan Lake in a clock wise direction.

    Some of that on the NE corner was REALLY Rocky and rough. But down by the lake bed it was SUPER soft. Just standing in it you sunk about 3 or 4 inches down...
