Where Have You Off-Roaded Today? 3rd Gen

Wedge Overlook -- our view from breakfast this morning.

 

Rattlesnake Canyon. From Johnson Valley to Viscera Spring.

 

Red Canyon Trail, CA

I'm in the BBP...

 

Everything is dry, and hot in the summer, windy as hell in the fall, and cold cold in the winter. But during the short spring early summer it's nice and green, and not too hot. Great time of year for camping.

 

How do I get onboard for the next trip? I am in utah county very often and would be awesome to hit up some trails with other tacos

Where in ID do you live? Always look for buddies to 4wheel with.

 

6 amazing days in Death Valley with 15 rigs! Such amazing sights

One filthy truck
Eye of the Needle

Road to the Marble mine is washed out so we made camp in the wash
My @KB Voodoo Alumax Rack and cargo tray did great hauling and drifting gravel roads at 55mph, and my @KC HiLiTES multifunction chase bar was a critical piece of gear. When you’ve got a big group the amber light is the only thing that cuts through the dirt for safety. Only 2 rigs had ambers and now everyone is going to buy one after seeing it in action. The photo doesn’t capture that intense LED amber light well

Salt Tram


Lippincott Shelf Road, hard to see scale but if you blow up the photo you’ll see @Mastonian coming down trying not to die


My new camp light set up


Race Track Playa and the moving stones
Came across 2 accidents, dude was probably doing 100 mph when...surprise! He was ok

Granite wins everytime. This was on our way home coming back over Tioga Pass near Yosemite


Such an epic trip!

 

This should get you there.

Idaho here too

 

You guys and your damn cool scenery out west! Nothing but corn fields here in Southern IL...!

 

Was heading back home after a site visit down in Prescott, AZ and ran into the type of sign that you can't pass up.

Heading East on SR 169, right after the I-17 intersection, the paved road turns into dirt. I didn't spend much time back in there, but there were lots of offshoots to explore.

Ended up at an abandoned something.

First flex of the truck since I bought it. Really impressed, even in stock trim.

West is BEST!

This is my buddies’ Jeep, but imagine the water it takes to form this! Talk about flash flood

 

Did a trail near the rockies in Alberta few weeks ago.

 

Wow! That’s a great pic.

 

OBX this summer...stayed at 35 PSI

 

Calico trip 8 or 9 rigs, Nov 3. Great weather!

 

This is about as good of a scenery shot as I can get here in Southern Illinois. Went out to hang a new deer stand behind my house and thought it was maybe a Kodak moment, lol...

 

Awesome to hear about the rear bar!! Have anyone PM or email me at tayloru@kchilites.io and I'd be happy to help out!

 

Got off of work early yesterday, so I decided to head out to the Cinder Hills OHV Area just North of Flagstaff on the 89A. It's a rather large adventure area, mostly for things other than trucks, but it's still fun.

I haven't been there in years, since I owned a modified 2000 XJ.

Completely stock (susp/tires wise) TRD 4x4 OR. I definitely need better tires before messing around in cinder pits. Almost got completely stuck in an area that was a breeze for my XJ with semi decent offroad tires.

Took the truck up to 65 mph on long straight stretches of bumpy dirt road and it is incredibly comfortable and stable at those speeds. Very impressed.

The sun wasn't cooperating, but oh well.

Found a motorcycle berm and decided to see if I could max out my roll/pitch meter. Was able to hit 30 degrees. Unnerving for sure. (picture doesn't quite do it justice)

Wide open. This is ~11 miles from my house.

I need to get to upgrading this truck so it's more enjoyable to look at in these pictures!

I may have Monday off for Veterans day, so I am planning a ~150 miles trip south, then east, then north back into town.
