    Finally got my 5100's and 1/4 spacers installed this past week and was able to hit Rausch Creek with my cousin and a few of his friends who primarly wheel Jeeps. I must say I was very surprised at how my tacoma handled the trails. It had some pretty worn down Firestone Destination AT's and a 2 1/4inch lift and seemed to handle the greens and blues just fine.

    We got into a bit of a bind in the first ten minutes of the trip when we took a turn off of a blue to a hill that my cousin and his friends said was a black trail. Of course the pucker factor was on, being that it was my first time offroading and all, but the tacoma prevailed and carried me up that hill. It might have taken me a few times to get the right line, but ultimately I made it up the hill. That's what matters right..... I continued to wheel until about 1:30 pm just hitting blues and greens mainly. Then around 2:00 I rode along with one of my cousins friends in his fully built JK. It was a 2010 on 37inch Toyo MT's. Terra Flex lift Dana 60's front and rear with front and rear ARB lockers. It was a beast on the trails. I will try to get the vids of it hitting yellow jacket and the two reds right next to it. You can see it flexing in the picture below. Anyway enough of the blabbering.... on to some pics and vids.

    Haha for some reason my second video will not show up on the post. But the link is there. It's just a short vid of my small hill climb.
