    James River Road Mason, Texas Afternoon Back-Country Adventure

    Great report. My wife and I are really coming around to the idea of getting an all wheel drive car for easier trails.

    A diverse group of trucks explore Utah (Canyonlands National Park specifically)

    This is the same place, and like I earlier stated tag-a-long tours takes Ford Excursions on this trail. You can find the videos on YouTube. Here is a link to my YouTube video from last April. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zmnnv9swYyw

    A diverse group of trucks explore Utah (Canyonlands National Park specifically)

    There are youtube videos of a tour group from Moab, Tag-a-Long, running Ford Excursions on Elephant Hill Trail. I also took my '05 Tundra through there last Easter. Your suburban would fit just fine. Great Trip report. Good to see some higher end rigs getting out and used.

    Engineering to Animas Forks in SW Colorado-Still Snowy up High

    Roverrock wonderful pictures. You make me jealous. As I look at these pictures I start to think if I have enough free time this summer to make it back over there. It has been three of four years now since we drove engineer pass.

    TundraBirds Go! Picture Thread for Tundras and T-100s

    We should plan a Tundrabirds trip that includes Black Bear. Can you imagine the look on folks faces in Telluride when a dozen Tundras show up in Town after completing Black Bear?

    Month-Long Western US Trek with my Dad

    I can tell by your comment that you are a novice off-roader.:sombrero: Maybe there isn't a lot of red rock in Iowa. Your Jeep is more than set up for the White a Rim Trail. I have seen all manor of stock SUVs on the trail. You've got a good set up now you just need to learn how to use it and...

    2006 Northstar TC650 Truck Camper $7300 located in Hernando Beach, Florida

    It just kills me how far away this is. It just is not time or cost effective for me. However, I find myself returning to this ad regularly.

    Sequoia 5100 Lift?

    I set mine at the third notch, when I first leveled out my Tundra. With AAL in the rear, I am now at the fourth notch and level.

    30 days on the trail - Guess where we went

    I know it has been awhile since this dicussion ended, but my parents lived on the res 45 years ago, as well as my friends father. The reason for its name (as far as I have been told) comes from Navajo tradition, not Mormons, or any other religion.

    In your post #86, you actually posted the side shot of Ctapia's truck.

    The Tundra Supertool

    In the end gas mileage will be a wash. They are just to close to matter. The Tundra does not have to work as hard when all of your gear and friends/family are loaded. Less work, means better efficiency. The Tacoma works much harder when loaded to the gunwales. Overloaded and working hard...

    15" rims vs 17"

    Wow! I wasn't looking for a fight. Calm down and breath through your nose. The suggestion is just that, a suggestion. 33s would most likely fit, still tuck under the fenders, not effect the gearing, and give one inch of ground clearance over the 31s. They are also not as wide as 32s. Cost...

    15" rims vs 17"

    Stick with the 15s, and run 33 X 10.5 BFGs Ats. They are a great tire and a lot cheaper that anything that fits on a 17" rim.

    The Tundra Supertool

    Here is a teaser shot of the Tundra on Dollhouse Rd. just after the Z turns in the Maze District of Canyonlands. The other shot was our destination, Dollhouse camp #2. There is a thread on this trip with a great video. My pics are on page three. I have a short video of me negotiating the Z...

    The Tundra Supertool

    Last summer on our trip to Jellystone Park (Hey Boo Boo), we saw in the 16.5 range with the M416 in tow and 265 BFGs. In November, we saw almost 17 on a long highway trip with the first 75 miles in 4 hi, again with the BFGs. This last trip, with the bigger Coopers (285s), and my wife in one...
