My first 4x4 trip in my new Tacoma

I did the bald mtn trail sunday night. Which was awesome I would highly recommend it at night. stayed the night in my truck at at the look out tower. There were definetly some spots were my heart was pounding lots of fun though. I went to brewer lakes trail Monday it said easiest on the sign. I didn't feel that it was easiest being that I turned back because I couldn't get around these two 7 foot tall boulders. Ripped off my front right mud flap and scratched up my bumper while turning around after my failed attempt to go left of the boulders. My truck 08 tacoma has prolly a 3 or 4 inch lift with 33 inch tire. I'm Inexperienced at four wheel driving. I feel that I could have made it all the way with a little bit of guidance.

 

Be careful wheeling alone and at night, take a buddy with another 4x4 and a tow strap.

 

Wheeling at night alone is a BIG NO NO. I have done it twice locally and knew where I was and always got stuck, and had to call and wake my friends to help me out.

 

Welcome from N.J.

 

Welcome bud, don't wheel alone. It's more fun and safer with others!

 

Who doesn't wheel at night??? As for being alone meh rather see someone get out and use their truck than stay home because they had nobody that could go. Something breaks fix it, get a winch, a shovel, some tools and spare parts and have it!

Obviously wheeling with at least two vehicles is ideal but you can't live your life waiting for others.

 

I had planned to go with another truck but he decided not to go about an hour before we were going to leave. I will be back in shaver this weekend trying out more trails. I'm hooked

 

Welcome to the boards and sounds like a fun trip!

 

Welcome!
