Did some exploring this weekend

Out around Tahoe National Forest to test out my new Tires (Toyo R/T's). Quick vid and a few pics.

Thread on tires here FYI. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/toyo-open-country-r-t-mounted.370525/

 

Nice!Looks sweet in those pics!

 

Looks awesome!

 

I like the pics, I like the truck, and I like the color.

 

Looks like you have those things aired right up. Not much sidewall flex going over rocks in the vid. I bet dropping them to 20 PSI on trails would save your back and kidneys and give you lots more traction.

Nice trails you have to play around on there.

 

Great pics. Dito on the truck. If you don't mind me asking....what type of lockable tail gate latch is that. The lock appears to be on the RH side. My existing Pop&Lock on my 2015 has been giving me trouble ever since I've had my Tacoma. I would like to find an alternative if it's out there.

 

They were aired down to about 22lbs. First time on them aired down and I did not want to drive far on the back on road at too low a psi. I did have a pump with me but didn't want to wait around forever to inflate. Its and old, very slow pump.

I'll try a little lower next time. I generally don't have that much experience with airing down a lot.

 

Its a popnlock as well. Maybe they recently changed it...?

 

Is that silver lake in the background ?

 

You have a backup camera, right? Looks like the old style without a camera.

 

Nice looking tires. Buddy of mine just got a set in 37's.

 

looking good! Probably load range E tires which arnt gonna flex as much as P when aired down.

 

That looks like my home town. Where were you exactly? I live in the Foresthill area, placer county.

 

Yes, I do have a backup camera. I seem to recall the kit I had might have reversed the camera location.

Thanks!

It was N. of Tahoe, up the 89. Bunch of lakes and stuff around there.

 

Ooof. Thank goodness for that skit plate at 1:10 on the video.

Good looking truck. How much lift to you effectively have with your suspension upgrade?

 

Lol. It didn't scrape anything, though I see how it looks like it does. Cringing more at the inside sidewall of the front drivers side tire pinching off the rock!

Not too much much. About 1.75" in the front and 2" in the rear.

 

Nice truck! You ever make the trip from Red to Blue Lakes? Fun little trek with some other nice lakes up there, 89 south out in Hope Valley... I'm gonna have to check out these spots, haven't explored much of 89 north of Tahoe.

 

Thanks. I have not, I'll have to look into it and do some more exploring.
