Who takes there taco wheeling or hit the trails

Ive only been out on the trails a few times since I bought her back in August. Stock TRD O/R package with aftermarket wheels and tires. It does alright for a little truck without 4x4. Pics below are from Pismo and Dove Springs here in California.

 

Mine is a dedicated weekend warrior machine. I had to buy a 2013 ford focus because the mods killed my MPG. My truck sees dirt, snow, mud or sand like 3 weekends a months.

 

mines my daily driver but i do love to take it off road.. i do most off my wheeling in the summertime and near christmas because i have to focus on this thing called college.


edit
im am so jealous of the guy above me

 

These are the two stupidest rules I have ever heard of...

 

The bad part is I feel like I can give the advice... I just have a hard time following it myself!

 

No jokes here, I just can't tell if that was a serious statement or not

Exactly, not everybody goes all rock bouncer out on the trails. Just have to know your truck and know it's capabilities and limitations. I wheel mine, but this is a second gen thread so I won't post it

 

I cant justify beating up a 28000$ truck the way some of these guys on here do. I bought my truck to drive everyday.

But I dont mind taking it out on old logging roads or game commission road to get to hunting and fishing spots but thats really about it. Its too nice and too new to destroy.

It is lifted with 5100s on a set of Duratracs so its more than capable of getting to the places I need to.

:beer:

 

My daily driver has permanent pinstripes that never fail to impress. Drive sensible on the trail and very careful wheel placement, not broken anything too serious. No body damage.

 

I was kidding, but I'm sure you caught that. haha I wheel along occasionally, but I am much more careful when I am by myself.

 

My truck is a 2014. Everything under my truck is armored. There are 7 skid plates down there. The only thing I can damage really is the body. I dont do any crazy rock crawling but I do go over 2-3 foot boulders. I get into tippy situations once and a while but not to bad. My truck gets me to cool places alot of people cant go and I have the reliability of a new vehical. I know my trucks limits and I have alot of fun. I have some pinstrips but the white paint hides them well. I also have a small dent in a door from sliding into a tree in an off camber situation with loose dirt under my wheels. I pulled most of the dent and you wouldnt see it unless I told you it was there.

 

I Gnar all the time.






No sisssy fire roads for me.

Awesome photo Jerry.

 

Caught you mirin

 

I do I do!!

 

Where did u get ur skid plates. ?

 

Front skid is Allpro offroad
Transmission is Relentless
Transfer Case is BAMF
Gas tank is RCI metal works
Diff skid is BAMF
LCA Skids are BAMF

 

So you bought it and all the stuff on it to look cool and look like you go off road, but you don't?

That is what we call a poser

 

Thanks I'll have to look into getting those sometime.
