Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

I’m speaking at an event this weekend, but in my downtime I found an easy little trail. Nothing challenging. Just kind of wound through the woods for a bit with a little mud and some small hill climbs.

 

Is it just me, or does the color of your truck change? In the first picture, it looks like MGM, and in the second....Voodoo Blue.

 

Lol it’s definitely MGM. The light was playing some tricks.

 

Sierra National Forest

Trying to find the mall...

 

LAND BETWEEN THE LAKES NORTHWEST TN & SOUTHWEST KENTUCKY.. these trucks are so effin impressive off road! I’m looking at high clearance bumpers with recovery now but even as is with bilstein 6112 JBAs UCAs bilstein 5125s Abe 33” skinny’s this truck gets us about anywhere we could imagine going. Very very impressed with the ridge grapplers they’re definitely better than my Toyo AT3s were off road in the mud

 

Lake Owyhee, OR

 

That’s amazing.

 

Man. Ohio has a couple places to wheel, but they are like 2 to 3 hours south of me. I need to move.

 

Ring the Peak trail. Colorado

 

Shafer Trail Moab. My first time in Moab and I love it. Can't wait to come back. Wish I didn't have to drive 15hrs to get there.

 

Genoa Peak Lake Tahoe

 

Spent my Saturday wheeling up in the San Jacinto Mountains (in So Cal) with my cousin in his Jeep, and both of our wives. We took Forest Route 5S07 (Bee Canyon) up the hill from Highway 74 to 5S09 (San Jacinto Ridge), and then took 4S21 (Indian Mountain) up to Highway 243. 4S21 is rated as a black diamond trail, but the Taco handled it just fine. I was kind of impressed with the amount of articulation I was getting out of the rear end, although I did realize I need some more clearance inside my front fenders (there was a whole lot of scraping whenever I was fully stuffed). I'm thinking of either a viper cut or a high clearance front bumper (I'm really liking that SSO full plate bumper), and then having the caster increased to 3.5 degrees or so.

We aired the tires back up at the top of the hill, and took Highway 243 over to the town of Idyllwild to grab some lunch. Spent the afternoon in town walking around the shops and checking out their holiday festival, and stuck around just long enough to watch the tree lighting ceremony at the park in the middle of town at sundown.

It was an excellent day, complete with great wheeling, perfect weather (temps in the low 70s all day, with a nice cool evening), and the appropriate amount of shopping/dining to keep the wives happy.

 

Mingus Mountain @ Prescott Nat’l Forest between Cottonwood & Jerome, Arizona

 

Somewhere east of the Sierras.

 

Wow great pictures of some real nice places! One reason I just live in the country! This is my home where I play in we have 120 acres and 1,000's around us. My Military Truck was a blast for a couple years till I traded it for a Challenger GT AWD. I can still play in the snow with it. Few more days and I will try out the 2022 Tacoma TRD Off Road. This is where I play now. Been lucky to have so many toys over the years. I restore Old Stuff then sell it and get something else. The TRD will be my last toy I buy one reason I bought my first New Truck! These pictures are on my place don't need to go far to have fun!

 

I got that same book. It is the Arizona Off-Roading Bible. So much amazing info. How is the Mingus Trail? I have been looking into that one. I did Bulldog Canyon this past weekend.
