Montana Tacomas

Did anyone notice the third gen Tacoma driving around Billings with a big ol’ Kimbo camper on the back of it? Looked pretty sweet.

Also anyone from Bozeman to Billings be on the look out for a burnt orange Tacoma with a uhaul trailer behind it. My mom and cousin are bringing me the last haul out of my old apartment lol.

 

I would rather be part of a group that isn't scrounging money from it's "MEMBERS". Hmm... Friends wouldn't blackmail me for cash to go on a trip with them.

 

Went out today with the cascade county and cmon 4x4 groups. Great group of people Almost everybody got stuck at some point. Was some fun snow wheeling and seeing a lot of unique rigs.

 

Some of these vehicles look familiar from pictures my friend DENTON showed me. He lives in Pony but works for the company i do in Bozeman.

 

Did you end up going? How was it?

 

Yes I went it was fun. My Tacoma was a little outclassed but held her own amongst some serious jeeps. There were something like 17 rigs so they split up into 2 groups to help ease congestion. The snow almost stopped the run got to watch a couple jeeps slid backwards on an icy spot the lead winched his way up.
There was only 1 other Tacoma a 95 with a bit more lift than me.
The group was courteous and I did not witness any ethics violations. I'll roll with them again. See their FBI page for some pictures and videos. My truck is still wearing the previous owners plates (Oregon) I'm still waiting for the title.

 

I'll have to join you guys sometime. Especially since Helena is right down the road

 

Looks like a sweet trail, when are you setting up a run for us Tacomaworld people

 

looks like a road i drove near Anaconda

 

What are you both looking at!? Is a bear charging the truck? Another vehicle flipping over?

 

My friend dropping off the more difficult obstacle . I don't know how to post videos on here but if you check out the videos on this link you'll see the washout obstacle. I chose the drive around on it. I don't want a new bumper. . . Yet.

 

Which Video there is several with titles, but none that says big drop?

 

Most of the videos are of that obstacle to don't know what they call it but fro the top it looks really knarl

Most of the videos were of that obstacle. I don't know what or if it had a name it's a big washout with big rocks in it. My tires are not big enough nor my armor complete enough for that one. Maybe someday. That older red jeep when he backed and repositioned he very nearly got hi frot driveline on the rock.

 

This link shows 122 pictures/videos all from this run if you scroll almost to the end the there are several videos of about 3 going down that trench.

 

looks like several of the first videos are of the same washout. I have almost 10K in Lift, shocks, wheels and tires. working on Body Armor, Wheel Lockers and front and rear bumpers next. I think i could make that one but be alot more confident when my planned upgrades are put on my
MontanaTacoTruck. Even so those jeeps are pretty narrow compared to my Tacoma so hard to tell from the video angle. (how steep and angles of the wash from above) My friend Denton and his son have Subaru Samari's, they could do that wash pretty easily. 4x4 group looks to mostly consist of smaller wheel base rigs....

 

Exactly my truck is not equipped to get through that without damage. Add some better skid a high clearance bumper then maybe. A front locker would help a lot.

 

Hell, I'd drive out to Helena from Bozeman for some wheeling!
