    First I would like to thank Glenn again for joining the wife and I as well as for waiting for us. It was a fun run. Glen and I agree it was quite a bit wilder than it was three weeks ago. Recent rains have changed it quite a bit. This was the wife’s first real off road trip and she got a bit panicky in spots, but she had a great time. It still can be done stock but barely. Not recommended for off road virgins driving stock Tacos without a good spotter. And it may not PreRunnerable ether. Glenn got a 3” lift since the last time (looks good) and the wife said we should probably get one too, at least before we do another trail in that condition. Any suggestions and costs? I did a mud flap trim since the last time 4” front (7 ½” clearance) and 1” rear (9” clearance). I still dragged the flaps in some places but nothing like the first time. Glenn I would try this before removing the front flaps completely. Keep in mind all the salt and sand they put on the roads in winter. Glenn did the smaller ruts near the end and I shot this video.

    I'm always happy to help on the install as well... and I've put quite a few of them in.

    Wow, I didn't know there was so many of you that live in Reno!
    I have a stock Tacoma nothing special but I would love to go run some trails with you all if you wouldn't mind.

    And Relentless lives here too! Man I have been putting off buying a front and rear bumper from you for like the last year.

    When I started to organize this I think there were around 70 TW members in the area. These are just the ones interested in trail running.
    You have been added to the list.
    Order now and you might get it in year. (Just kidding Eric)
    Actually I think it's around a three month wait.
