Official 2017 NorCal Camping/Wheeling Thread!

Affordable midsize pick up is probably the simplest reason i could give you.

The pick up models are super popular too (pre-Tacoma). I had a 89 with a SAS, 5.29 gearing, 6" all spring lift, 2" body lift, running 35 boggers, 22re (running on 3 cylinders), 4runner front end conversion, bumpers, sliders, and skids and I sold it for almost 9000 LOL

Theres just something about Toyotas that they all love, just like us.

Probably that you can fucking beat on them and they still love you

Theyre also the best looking truck...

In summation: TACOMA

 

Carnegie also. But the national forest reigns supreme to all of them

 

Carnegie is so small you can piss on one fence line and get your foot wet on another...


Edit - for 4x4s. Lots of dirt bike trails, but I've never ridden...

 

LOL i figured that out last weekend... thats why i didnt bother mentioning it. Metcalf is sooo tiny too but convenient for a quick ride after work.

 

Just saw your edit. I wouldn't waste my time with 4x4 but for something close and to get my dirt biking fix it will do. Lots of hill climbs there, so if that's your thing Personally I'm a trail rider

 

Well definitely agree with you them being the best looking and reliable trucks. And yeah I can echo a lot of what you just posted most of the Tacoma's I did see over there were all lifted and setup real nice. You can certainly tell Hawaiians love their Tacoma's as do we.

 

Some of the set ups are just a bit ridiculous for me though... like these ones.

 

You know...I'm all for "to each their own", but some things I dislike seeing on vehicles. ^this kind of bullshit included. When it serves zero purpose other than "the look", just..UGH. Like the new stanced cars, congratulations, you probably get 500 miles on your tires before they pop or you need new ones. Why???

 

Check out Stonyford up North too. That place is pretty good for dirt biking too.

 

My truck has sass too!

 

we're on the same page bro. everytime id see one driving around id literally ask out loud why and then laugh at them

i was in a 350whp STI at the time so id never have to worry about getting caught laughing

 

All you dirt bike guys, theres an annual CZ Rider Vintage race coming to Marysville in April.

I enjoy giving those guys a run for their money in my Tacoma lol. Maybe 300whp currently

 

fuuuuuck

damn 3rd gens have no mods out yet to get any real power... your truck is badass

 

Thanks! I'd give it a bit, I'm sure there will be some forced induction of some sort for 3rd gens at some point. Although they are already pretty high revving as is, unsure how the power band would look with FI then lol

 

But weren't you on.....an island? Maybe Hawaii is bigger than it is in my brain. Only stopped there on the way to the Philippines in the 80's. Before they figured out flying over Bering Straight saved 3 hours. Usually with a stop in Narita.

Figured you can't fuck with anyone on an island, unless you drive a white Toyota Camry.

 

lol its plenty big enough

...maybe not to hide from the cops though. dont get any ideas!

 

whats your peak hp @?

My truck pulls hard all the way to 5500... but not hard enough

 

No idea, mine pulls hard till rev limiter at 5500 as well. I would say peak to the wheels right now im at least 300rwhp, or very close to it

 

yeah peak hp probably right around 5500

you never put it on a dyno?
