    Found a couple fun little trails earlier today... One is about 1 mile past the Hope Junction coming from Anchorage. maybe a mile long? Just something short, pretty easy for 4lo, and fun.

    Does anyone have a list of places to wheel around the State? I really don't know that many...

    Is that the really steep road off the highway? I've wanted to drive up that but never have.

    Google earth shows some buildings up top. I'm assuming they are just power line related though.

    I've seen them and it is something to do with the power lines. At the top of the trail it starts getting swampy and I didn't want to get stuck. But you can easily walk it

    2014 regular cab 4x4
    Hey everyone, I just bought a new Tacoma, had to wait 3 months for it to ship up here but it finally arrived on Friday, August 29th. I am very happy with it and consider it my dream truck. It is a 2014 Tacoma (obviously) Regular Cab I4 5 Speed Manual. I currently am going to UAA and it will be awhile before I can afford any mods (ARB Bumber, OME Suspension etc.) but I thought I would say hello to all my fellow Alaskans. I am still relatively new to off-roading (done a little bit in chitina, and trapper creek) so any help would be appreciated as to where some good trails are located.

    Welcome! I'm going to UAA myself, what degree you going for? Congrats on the truck! That will be a perfect wheeling rig!

    Yeah!, I don't know why there is no love for the single cabs anymore, it's unfortunate that I am probably the last person in the united states to get one, toyota has discontinued regular cabs for the 2015 model year :confused:

    Same... And 2 semesters of it at KCC. But I love me some mechanics/welding/soldering... By the way, we should probably move this over to the Alaska BS thread sometime haha. Anyways. Yeah, both rock.

    Anyone want to meet up Saturday? Or have a welder? I might be needing to weld up some sliders :spy:

    :eek:

    I don't fit in them as well :anonymous: (6'4") And less places to stash gear. Otherwise I would get a reg cab. I think they look better!

    I can understand that, however when I ordered the truck an extended cab was an extra $2000, I couldn't justify that and when it comes down to it, I can buy a camper shell for $1000, and then I have a whole truck bed I can stuff with gear :D, plus I love single cabs anyway
