Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Thanks. Don’t know a califab

 

Out enjoying the day yesterday. Looking for a remote lake, but it was blocked by a big washout and berm followed by a hiking trail, so I visited a nearby lake.

 

Nice moose. Saw a lot of fresh moose tracks yesterday, but none spotted. 6 grouse, all females so a male must have been nearby strutting his stuff.

 

Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway completed last week

 

Bald Peak in SoCal this evening

 

How do you get there? Continue past Santiago Peak?

 

Out in Utah this week.

 

Went around to the local pits to test the new tires.

 

Took a short run up Tecuya Road(9N19) in Las Padres NF this morning, I was alone so didn’t go to far but still spent 3 hours or so up there.

 

If you're coming up from Silverado Canyon Rd, it's left at the fork rather than right towards Santiago Peak.

 

FOX Weather Channel has a show called "Park'd". A lady visits all of the parks in the US and Caribbean. One episdoe is her driving up Hell's Revenge. May repeat a little later today (Sunday, Oct 8). I hope someone can use this message.

 

Went to Geezers trail in Land Between the Lakes in Trigg County Kentucky today and got me a big surprise when I found a deep ass rut near the edge of mud hole. Was cruising along taking my time then felt the front end dive. I got lucky I’d say bc it didn’t burn the effin alternator up as I saw the muddy water get just over my hood for a second as I mashed the gas to get through lol had a blast all in all just a little scare

 

No wheeling this weekend, but still getting new photos from last weekend

 

Saw a video of this jump! Pretty awesome!

 

Them new shoes got dirty

 

Wandering around the San Juans

 

Is your tailgate not stamped with Tacoma?

 

TOYOTA ?

 

It is not. I was in Upper Muley Twist Canyon in Capitol Reef NP a year ago, and while turning around, I backed about 1" too far into a tree branch which was sticking straight out toward the truck (I never saw it). The end result was "time to get a new tailgate." I found a guy on eBay who sells the shell of the tailgate, pre-painted your color and new for around 500$. Since it wasn't a genuine Toyota part, he couldn't emboss "Tacoma." I also had to purchase the plastic which runs along the top of the tailgate (~60$). I finished the job for under 700$ (aka Stupid Tax). OEM would have been thousands. The TOYOTA steeker is my tip of the sombrero to the classic trucks of the '80s (of which I owed several).
