Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Went on an afternoon drive/hike today in the West Elks...probably could have brought the xc skis. Still a few late fall colors here, mixed with a fresh snowstorm, and dang its beautiful out! Plus, its fun to drive on some of the roads before they get buried/closed for the winter. On the dog front, I apologize he's missing a third of his teeth, and has a battle scar on his left ear from a barbed wire fence. I think he may have had even more fun than I did though!

 

About time we got the new wheels a little muddy

 

more rec More recently;about a month ago I went and watched the sun rise on Engineer Pass, a bit of a sketchy drive up that trail at night, but had plenty of light.. what a view!
Hagerman Pass to Pearl Pass, back on Tincup Pass (gnarly and chunky coming up from Taylor Lake, dropped off my Nephew and brother in law in Leadville, then i took Weston Pass home.

What color is your truck. That looks awesome. Looks olive green....

 

Went up Four Peaks Trail in AZ yesterday, first time out in the new truck. Went with a buddys TRD Pro.

 

From moab to monticello on mostly dirt.

 

Near Angola State Penitentiary.

 

Drove up to Mt Hamilton then played around Carnegie ohvpark for a bit.

 

Cleghorn this morning

 

Went up the backroads behind the Chief near Squamish. First run in the new Taco, ran great! Biffed the stock skid plate and it rattles a little now... Might need to bend something back. Took a buddy who's ranger has never been in 4low. Found some big rocks and some washouts and this view:

 

Doesn't rain often in the desert but when it does, I can't resist playing in the mud

 

Just some playing in the mud somewhere in irvine/santa margarita or rose canyon somewhere california. Not exactly sure where we went.

EDIT: I found the place.

Damn, those are some gorgeous pics. I get so jealous of all the Taco owners out west. You got all that open space right in your backyards.

 

Your wrap color is gorgeous. Also is that the Canadian MT access cab off road?
... I'm very jealous of you at this moment.

 

We had an enormous amount of rain in KS recently. So me and a friend decided to play in the mud. I don't have photos, but that was the first time I ever got stuck in my Tacoma. Long story short, couple of redneck hunters blocked the road and didn't want to move their Chevy in fear of getting it stuck, so I had to go around them. What I didn't know was that the ditch area had deep grooves in it from farm tractors, so my truck slipped right into them. I didn't get high-centered, but there was literally ZERO traction in the mud and grass. So my buddy pulled me out, which wasn't hard at all thankfully.





The Goodyear Wranglers get caked in mud pretty quick. At least with this KS clay-infused mud. Makes it like driving on ice - all the more fun! Also makes me want to get some heavier duty tires.



Took a solid 20 minutes at the carwash. Always a good way to end the day!

 

California City and explored east of HWY395.....

 

Citrus, FL

 

Looks fun
