New Tacoma owner here

Hey guys I am new to trucks. I have always wanted a Tacoma and I finally got a 2008 TRD sport. I would like some direction on what knd of trails would be good for me to start on. I know the sport doesn't have the locker but I'm really looking for major off roading. What kind terrain can the stock Sport handle? Thanks

 

The driver has a lot to do with what a truck can handle off road. Check out www.traildamage.com and start with easier trials. My Tacoma had the rear locker, but it did not work. I was able to still run a lot of trails, but I also had skid plates and an OME lift.

 

Welcome to TW .have fun with your new toy

 

Welcome! Glad to see another sport owner on this board. The sport can handle its own out here in colorado. I would recommend you getting some skids for this Rocky terrain though.

 

Lowering the tires air pressure can do more than a locker to improve traction or get you over or out of deep sand! Buy a good air pump (that clips directly onto the battery) to refill the tires.

10-15 psi for sand, 20-25 psi for most other dirt conditions.

 

Thanks guys that helps!!!

 

Not sure about the snow right now, it's probably not too covered, but Slaughterhouse Gulch is pretty close (to Denver) and is a fun little trail. Went to high school in Bailey and have done it tons of times. Good for a stock Taco but still can be kinda gnarly too!

 

Thanks man

 

welcome!
