Portland gets snow about once every 5 years, if that.
Where was last years big snow in the south sound? I was denied!!!

 

2006 DCSB tacoma owner on Whidbey island. Any others out this area!?

 

as of right now my girl and I want to live in the Olympia area got my Tacoma sas'd now I just need to front gears and lockers.

 

Yep, I'm on Whidbey Island also. The north end.

 

I think we should do a get together sometime soon!

 

Is anyone planning a get together/meet n greet, or a trail ride soon?

Hey all. Took a long ass break from this forum... But I'm back

 

No lift on my truck yet but im definitely interested in getting out to tahuya if any one wants to set something up lemme know!

 

2011 RC 5-Lug in Freeland...

 

See above, you just missed a tahuya meetup earlier this month, not to worry, i'm sure they're'll be others. I was pretty much stock myself, only offroady thing i have was some slightly bigger offroad tires. I do have the TRD offroad package though. and did come in handy once. other than that you'll be fine. don't be afraid to get some scratches down the sides from twigs brushing up against you, cause that's gonna happen.

No matter what, going alone is never a great idea. Grade school was right about the buddy system.

 

I'm up for a run to wherever, within reasonable terrain destination... It is only a baby taco, but it's about time my truck saw some dirt.

 

Sweet! I have the OR package and 265 75 r 17 so not really bigger but bigger than the ORs. Anf scratches are not an issue. Been on light trails in mt baker and more.

 

I have the "This is the only way the RC 2WD AT comes equipped" Pkg.... I do have 235/75/R15's, so it should be ok-ish.... Let me know, just not this Saturday.

 

I'm not even kidding when I say that you have a hard road to hoe if you want to offroad. You have a stock 2WD with no front or rear recovery points, no armor, no clearance.
What you do have is a pristine vehicle still.
I would highly advise NOT offroading to the extent of Tahuya or harder. This is not about 'exclusive club membership' or anything. Your truck simply has a different purpose, and you are going to be very frustrated with a lot of burnt money and damage.
Since you are at the beginning of this crossroad, you need to make the judgment call:

• Sell for something more equipped
  
• Buy a side by side like a Polaris RZR, Can Am, etc., an ATV, etc.

My recommendation would be the latter option. You can easily tow it with your current truck (once you buy a tow package), and it will be a monster offroad.
