"stock" 3rd gen on the rubicon

Like the title says, I took my 3rd gen Tacoma on the Rubicon trail. The only modifications it has are 33s, rock sliders and a rear bumper.

We started from the lake Tahoe side and made it almost to the observation point. We had about .5 mile till the observation point, the truck did perfect till up to there. Sliders definitely came in handy in a couple spots tho lol.

This might be a sign for 35s...

 

Thats a good time on that part of the trail. I highly recommend skids and exhaust reroute as well if you decide to make your way down Cadillac.

 

Yessir, I'll wait till I have more money before I thrash it haha

 

.

 

That's rad, I've been wondering if I could take mine out there for part of the trail at least. Exhaust would be my concern as mentioned.

 

I’m jelly. I live only 1.5 hours away. But I’m on 265 70 17 tires

 

how did the stock front skid plate do?

 

I know you said it’s “stock”, but did you have to do anything to get those 33’s to fit?

 

I made it to the top of Cadillac/observation point in my 3rd gen. Cost me a drive shaft on the way out tho. Lol

 

Nope haha. A lil tight but she fits

 

That's such a badass picture. Which side did you come from?

 

SHEWW lol that is a lil tight. Nice

I keep considering going from 265/75/16 to 285/75/16 but everyone tells me I’ll need to do some cutting

 

Nice work

 

As long as you have sliders and you should be good. I don't think that you could make it past where I stopped if you want to keep your truck in one piece.

Saw this Suzuki do this section where I stopped. Gnarly

 

Doubt it. I've only rubbed on my inner fender once. You will rub on the UCA when your steering is maxed tho. Other than that 10/10 recommend

 

That thing is gnarly!

 

I have 285/75/17s, with a ~3” lift and a higher offset wheel, I grab the rear of the front inner fenders here and there WITH a cab mount chop. Need to do some more trimming higher up the liner. For what it’s worth

 

I'm also looking to upgrade to 285/75r17 or 255/85r17. What does your truck look like with 285?

 

That looks so sick!
