    in your '06 DC Longbed? Are you SAS'd? I don't know of any IFS rig that has done it. And plan on body damage. 3rd obstacle will likely take out your bedside, and maybe your roof. I was dragging my rollcage though it.

    Yep. :D Hahaha not really. No I'm not sas'ed, maybe someday down the road. But I'm not really one to shy away from body damage either. Awesome pics by the way.

    Well I'd love to watch someone try it. ;) Having run it before it is definitely a fun trail and if you haven't run something that difficult before then it's gonna get your heart racing. I'll run it again someday, but not with my current Tacoma. It is not setup for it.

    If you look at that first pic, not only is the cage dragging (which would really jack up your roof) but the rear corner of my FJ40 is maybe a couple inches away from the wall and it scraped the wall before I got through there. So I'm just saying a Tacoma that is MUCH longer than an FJ40 would absolutely trash the rear corner and bedside through this spot.

    I don't doubt that is would trash it. Maybe ill try it in the inlaws Jeep instead.

    Couple more pics of that same spot from a different angle. Sorry for posting so many pics, I haven't looked at these for a long time and it's getting me excited looking back through these.

    The obstacle is an off-camber right hand corner where the passenger side is forced to climb the inside corner which tips the driverside into the wall. The climb is pitched to the driverside with a large hole at the bottom against the wall.

    I had a strap attached to my front bumper that a guy was pulling on by hand just to keep the front end up because it wanted to slide down into the hole on the bottom next to the wall.
