Southern Walnut Creek Trail... its all paved and quite fun!

 

That payoff was sick!!!

 

My legs are still a bit like jello! LOL

 

Haha!!! Same here!

Its a good pain, though

 

Nice! Will have to check it out!

If anyone ever wants a good hike that has a lot of elevation up and down the River Place Nature trail is pretty challenging...well for my fat ass it is I think it is like 150 floors if you do there and back on it, total is a little over 5 miles I believe.

Power to weight ratio, Tundra wins over Taco. Off road ability, Taco wins over Tundra, but not by much.

 

If I add a rear locker to the Tundra (which I would) would it tip the advantage on the Tundra?

 

where all did y'all go? stick to the main trail?

 

Yeah, we cut off on the golf course for a little bit lol

I drank about a gallon of water when I got home

 

I feel like the Taco will fit down more trails and through tighter spots than the Tundra.

 

Yeah unfortunately I do not know exactly where I'll be going. I just want space I can live out of. I rather have more than less, and since most of you guys are getting Tundra mpg's loaded, it just has me thinking.

 

No, you can add a locker to a Taco too. Advantage would be width of vehicle, wheelbase, weight, accessories, just to name a few.

 

Check out @Mademan925 in here and on instagram. He has a very capable Taco and trailer that you could live out of indefinitely.

 

@PureTacoma , haven't seen you in here, but you're from ATX.

 

It's all about how you use what you've got. The interior space on a Tundra is generous and a loaded Tundra will trump a loaded Taco any day. But you're likely not living out of the cabin in either vehicle so that negates the Tundra's advantage. Both you could outfit with some serious bed storage, racks, RTT, haul a trailer, or even go all out for a Habitat shell/tent. So how you outfit either one will have the greatest impact on how you live. If you're not concerned about where you drive, I would think the Tundra will give you more living options. If you want more exploration options I'd take the Taco... maybe a DCLB? I mean there's some serious rigs big enough to drive over houses that are quite plush but they're going to have a bigger impact on the environment if you're off road and be harder to drive in general. Smaller is better when it comes to mobility.

 

Well, dropped the truck off at the dealer to have the steering looked at. I couldn't figure out the knock in the steering, tie rods seemed fine, and a lot of the noise I was hearing were the pins in the brake pads. Hopefully the CPO warranty will do something for me, I'm hoping they don't come back with too much wrong or tell me I'm not covered. What they don't know is I've done my research and looked up part prices for everything so I can counter what they say. I'm also fully prepared to do the work myself, if it comes down to it.

Hopefully it doesn't come to that, it's been bonkers hot and I don't WANT to work on the truck in this weather. Cross your fingers for me!

 

Had an alignment lately?

Those techs wont crank down the Cams and it could cause a 'clunk'

 

Was it you I talked to at CnC about front end popping?
