Maybe one of you guys on this thread can help me. I've been trying to use Gaia to find good offroad routes around norcal and nevada. The one thing that bugs me a bit about Gaia, is I can't often distinguish if a public track/route was hiked, biked or driven. It would be cool to start a...

@TacoHog ... Never followed up on this, but I did go back! This time I entered from the Ukiah side and just after a ton of rain. It was a messy day. I was washing off mud for over an hour once I got home. A few lessons learned: 1) Need some recovery boards if I'm ever going to do this...

When does weight become a concern? My truck is relatively stock still other than a Toytec 3" lift + leafpack and some bigger tires. I'm about to start adding some weight though. 1) Tonneau (Bakflip), 2) Prinsu Rack, 3) bed bars and an RTT tent on those. 4) bolt on Sliders Unlikely to...

Having now lugged around cargo in the back of my tacoma at least 20 or 30 times, I'm becoming very frustrated every time I try to secure the load: Ratchet Straps: Inevitably my load is always too small for these to work effectively. And yet I have to go through the process of unwinding them...

Others may have a different point of view, but I ended up saving a lot of money getting the TRD-Offroad and a custom lift + tires & wheels + TRD Pro grill. With the exception of missing the Pro hood scoop, I think my truck looks way better now than what I would have gotten had I purchased a...

Finally cleaned it up and took some proper photos. The lift & wheels took all my 'slush fund money' for the year. Likely need to put some distance between now and next mod, but I'm thinking Sliders are pretty important. I don't want to get over confident with my near ground clearance.

There is a site out there called "https://www.customwheeloffset.com/" which does an ok job at collecting people's experiences with different wheels/tires/lift combos. You effectively search for your rig and wheel info, and it brings up similar configurations from real folks who've posted. Incase...

Less than 5000 miles on this set of 4 wheels and tires. 265/70 R16. Goodyear Wrangler M+S They are in great shape. valve stems not included. Buyer must pickup, in the North Bay (Marin). ($600 OBO)

I ended up going to SWAT Customs. Very impressed with their work, and they know Tacomas very well.

@TacoHog. I tried to get into South Cow Mountain a few weeks ago after they said they had opened from COVID, but it was still closed. Which entrance did you approach from? Also, any specific routes you would recommend once there?

I wanted to introduce myself as I plan on prepping my 2019 TRD Offroad for plenty of camping and over landing in the western US. I'm out of Northern California and always looking for new trails and road trip opportunities. Just got my new wheels/tires/lift installed yesterday. (see...
