    does anyone go mudding or off-roading with there 5 lug 2 wheelers.

    the reason I ask, everyone keeps laughing at me when I say I'm going mudding and they find out the taco is only 2 wheel drive. This is my first truck and I fell in love with it immediately ( I had actually bought a ford ranger 1st and absolutely hated the truck so about 2 weeks later i traded it for the '09 taco and instantly fell in love with this truck). before this I had no intentions of going off-road, it never entered my mind, but after buying this truck it's all I want to do.(the bug bit me and I mean big time).

    I put on GY duratrac 235/75/15's and away I went. I found out what the LSD and TRAC were for, which come stock on the '09's and up which I am so thankful for (I had no idea what LSD was before, other than some illegal substance that could make you retarted). The first mud hole I saw I drove right into it and immediately got stuck, sunk right in and just spun so I hit the TRAC button and she pulled her self right out no problems at all ( she still spun quite a bit and I had to rock her back and forth a few times before she gave way, mud flying everywhere but that's the whole fun of mudding isn't it)? I am so glad Toyota put in the limited slip differential or else the truck would be useless in mud (in my "truck virgin" opinion anyway).

    well that's my story! I would love to hear any other 2 wheeling experiences you may have had and would like to share. Sometimes I do feel like an idiot going 4 wheeling with a 2 wheel drive truck but you know what, I can't afford another truck right now so the 2 will have to do!

    I'M JUST GLAD IT'S A TACOMA.THANK GOD FOR TACOMA! [​IMG]

    And this one shows where the studs break at the steering knuckle on a pickup spindle

    how you have to get home when a stud breaks...

    Combine zip ties, duct tape and ratchet straps and you can save the world.
    Or carry spare stock spindles if you run fabtech lifties and you actually use your truck. Something tells me few peeps in this thread do though.

    yeah it looks pretty retarded doesn't it? only one bolt threads into spindle, other goes all the way through with a nut, AND its mounted on the wrong side of spindle. And he wonders why he broke so many bj's.

    haha i always find something else to buy, mainly mountain bike stuff, i broke way to many parts this season that will most likely need replacing for next season. i figure that there is no high speed offroading here so the tc kit gets back seat to mountain biking haha
