    Anyone on here ever try the trails at the Cahaba River WMA near Helena? I've shot my pistol at the range out there before but was curious which trails are easy to tackle out there?

    I didnt know those were riding trails. I thought they just were roads to those oil wells.

    That's the other side of The Slab. If you cross the slab from montevallo, it will take you to those roads in Helena. It's all part of the national wildlife reserve. The good trails are on the Montevallo side though.

    Red rock rd connected to shelby cr 251 via The Slab, which is now uncrossable, unless you have a pretty big lift, and 4wd. The 251 leads to the slab, and all the other trails lead off of it once you cross on to the dirt road.


    Here are a few of our trips there. These are just my videos, there are others videos on youtube. We've been there a few times.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    What do you guys think about the new gen? I was completely meh at first, but thought that it could have potential once it was modded.

    I started following this thread and I think I'm sold on it.

    http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/3rd-gen-tacomas/358250-2016-taco-few-mods.html

    As long as they have changed some engine things to make it a bit more efficient, I think it will sell like hot cakes.

    Im very meh. I like the new tail gate. And thats it on the exterior ha, the new grill looked awesome in the teaser, but it practically goes down to the air dam. The frint profile kinda looks like the highlander too. Its not a huge change i guess and chop up that grill and put a plate bumper on it and it will start looking good.

    Agreed.

    I wanted the new Gen but my truck got totalled out. Now I'm glad I got my 14 after seeing this one.

    I think the grille and the bottom middle section stick out to far on it, but I like it much better with a Satoshi.

    Paul, I shopped in a DO single hoop and BHLM picture into that thread.

    Good looking shop skills there brian. Unfortunately I don't think a bumper would mount very easily. The front bumper meets the fender much further back. Not a deal breaker for me though. I'm betting this truck will be pushing 37-40k when all is said and done. Not really something I would want to bump around in the woods in haha.

    watched the stream of the detroit show and it may have changed my mind a little. they looked much better than the pics, and a "new" 3.5 direct inject v6 and a new 6 spd auto and manual trans.
