LMAO... it looks like it should wheel. Oh damn, now there are scratches and dents. Hey, nobody said this would happen when wheeling. WTF!

I will have my on contour cam w me. So I'll be recording most of the time. It does good in the cab but outside it has a nasty wind noise if doing some speed. There's video with it in the jambo thread and maybe the hill country thread, can't remember if I uploaded it or not.

Frack me..
Bianca will be Documenting with video... naturally. 
haha ya man, eh scratches and dents really don't phase me.
It'll only add character to my truck.

I went and ran Waterfall in the Glade today. I scratched up a flare and made heavy contact with every single bumper, slider, and skid plate on my truck multiple times. Traction is an issue too. Locked in back and ATRAC in front it took every ounce of traction I had to make several sections. Had I not hit all the lines just right, I would have definitely needed a strap. We did need to pull on a triple locked Land Cruiser that chose the wrong line.
This trail is just about all a modified Tacoma can handle (and its only rated upper middle of the road in difficulty here in the Glade).
The trail can't wait to meet you guys.

If PD3 comes down & rides with me, I may be coming to this run. He sounded interested...

We all hate long road drives. You'll be okay. Just come on up. Hey Greg did you make skid plates for the underside? or did you buy them? Got any pics of them by chance? And the front bumper looks great by the way. I should be done with mine hopefully by the end of the week and starting on the rear.

Yeah, I've got homemade heavy plates down there. I don't have any pictures but I could get some. My front bumper is almost done. Its structurally sound (which is why I took the truck on Waterfall) but it still has some finishing work. I look forward to seeing your finished product.
You would have made a good long haul truck driver. I personally would not enjoy it.
I've considered it. I don't think the wife would like it much though
Got a visual of idiocracy with your 'dumbass' comment, so I figured I'd give you a LOL in this form

That sounds like a pretty thin maybe so I'll keep you off the list for now. Let me know when you find out more.

Well just found out that the wife's work is going to fuck her over and possibly not give her the days off so it might just be me. But we r still working on that. If the next time Lu are under your truck Greg u could snap a pic or two of the skid. I want to try to get mine done before the trip but I'm not sure if that is going to happen or not. I'm going to at least have the front bumper skid tie into the lower front skid and back to the crossmember but I'm not sure how far back I'm going to be able to get them before the trip. And I can't wait to see finished pics of yours as well. How is the application process going by the way?
