    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    You can do most of it easily, a few spots the easy angle is the one you want to 3 point into 'cause it's so sharp on the inside of a curve. Otherwise? Just be comfy swinging the front end wide around corners like a semi. THere's more room than it seems in most areas.

    Yeah now that I think about it, that Tundra must have had a hell of a time on a couple spots that come to mind, lol. A long bed Taco should be okay because it's narrower than the Tundra, just have to finesse through a couple places.

    I can think of a few areas where the only good angle is on the sharp inside of hair pin with a raised apex so unless you like rolling to the outside corner your only choice is a few back n forths to get lined up correctly.

    Been wanting to hit up the trails for a while now, but seeing as I don't have sliders or any armor for that matter, only the lift kit I got from @Mike likes Tacos. So just curious on your guys' opinion on me being able to make it without any crazy damage? Lol got the 4x4/ rear locker and all that good stuff too just no armor :(

    I was told I probably shouldn't last time, but I'm full stock. Might be ok with the clearance, but lots of slider talk.

    Are you thinking of doing the Miller Jeep trail on Sunday? Without sliders I wouldn't recommend it unless you're okay with the strong possibility of body panel damage. First time I did MJT I did it without sliders and was fine, but a few weeks later we went again and a couple spots had changed from all the traffic and were harder than before. Luckily I did have sliders on that time.

    It's up to you, with a locker and 4x4 you'll get through it but I cant say for sure you'll be okay without sliders

    True, maybe bring some of those gravel bags you can get for a couple bucks per 50lb bag at the hardware store, I use to carry those around in the bed in case I needed them.
