    HITR trail

    I’ve been through this trail twice now. Both times in a side x side. This year, I’m thinking of taking a JL Unlimited Rubicon. 100% stock. (ie 33’s). Any thoughts? I know I’ll be fine through Marble Canyon. Getting up and down Grey Mesa, up and down the chute, I’m not sure. I’d also like...

    Anyone been down by Moab or Swells recently?

    I’m getting cabin fever and need to get out. I was down in the Swells early December with one of my daughters and had a great time. Went to that monolith by the Mars research center (can’t remember what it was called), up to factory butte, to swazey’s cabin, goblin valley, temple mtn, then back...

    Canyonlands in a stock Tacoma

    This year, I am looking to do some exploring down in Canyonlands. Going through the Maze district, Teapot, Chimney, Flint trail, etc. My Tacoma (double cab, TRD Off Road) is bone stock, down to the 31" tires. I've got a full-size spare, plugs and an air pump. How will it do? Are there any...

    4Runner -- traveling with kids

    Unfortunately, it may be time to sell off my F150. The truck is too big with my wife's new van in the garage. Not much room to maneuver her van in and out, so we're thinking of trading the F150 for a 4Runner. Slightly narrower width will help, but the much shorter length will make a big...

    t mobile (tmobile) coverage in Utah?

    I'm looking to switch carriers, as AT&T's prices have gotten a little over the top. Plus the fact they don't do contracts (or phone subsidies), so I'm pretty much done with them. T-Mobile seems to have good pricing, and from what I hear, decent coverage. But those are from people that stay...

    Canyonlands - Needles, The Maze

    So close, but I have yet to venture into Needles and the Maze. I was just curious what sort of minimal vehicle requirements I'll need? Current set up is an F150 at stock height on 33" tires. So pretty much stock. Will I have any issues going through these places? Should I be ready for body...

    Ram Rebel?

    I'm looking for a full size truck to be used as a daily driver and family adventures around Utah/Co/etc. With 2 kids, our Tacoma was just a little too tight. With #3 coming soon, we need to go full size. We thought about getting another 100-series LC, but I would like a truck bed this time...

    Rust

    I was casually glancing at 1st Gen Tacoma's and found an 2001 AC out in MN. Thought it might be a fun solo or +1 hunting/camping rig. Exterior looks super clean; however, the undercarriage looks like below. Is any amount of $$ saved on a good deal worth this? Seller says just "surface rust."...

    Fat biking

    The trend is in full effect, so decided to jump on the wagon. Bought a fat bike recently and am planning on some bikepacking adventures. Thinking west desert somewhere. Anyone here know of any good routes for either a quick overnighter or weekend trip?

    2015 Tacoma purchase? Or wait for the next gen?

    Looking to pick up a new Tacoma, as I've been without a proper truck for a while. I've actually been waiting for more than a year, as rumors last year said a new gen for 2015 (which didn't happen). I'm almost sick of waiting and was thinking of picking up a '15. Unless the campsite is just...

    Toyota Swapping an E-locker into a Tacoma

    I've been wanting to get a hunting/camping/overland/housework truck for a while. I keep coming back to a Regular or Ext Cab Tacoma 2.7L 5-sp in the 01-04 vintage. I don't think any of them were equipped with an e-locker from the factory, so I am interested in swapping one in. This is a...

    Metal fabricator in the Salt Lake Valley?

    I'm looking for a metal fabricator in the Salt Lake valley. Looking to build a rear bumper for my LC. I'm not too keen on the current aftermarket options. Years ago, I had D'Lux Fab weld on some sliders for my old Tacoma, which turned out well. I've tried to phone him a few weeks ago, but...

    Awning set up

    Curious what your awning set ups are and how you like it. Looking at either getting a vehicle-mount awning or free-standing. If I went with a vehicle mount, I would go with an ARB (probably the 2.5M). Not sure about free standing units. Ones I have used were all pretty cheap and blew over and...

    South-West Utah St George kid-friendly outings

    I'm headed to St. George next week.  Will bring the family along (2 kids, both under 3).  I'm looking for ideas that are kid-friendly. Not 4WD trail related, but more short hikes and cool places to see, etc. It should be fairly warm (upper 50's, according to weather.com) so I'd like to...

    Anybody know where I can pick up Redline products in SL or Davis Co? Specifically MT-90 fluid? No luck at Autozone, O'Reilly's, etc. Thanks.

    Need sliders. Good shop around SLC?

    Hi, new here. I have an 01 Tacoma Double cab. Looking for some sliders. I was going to drive up to CBI, but would rather have somebody closer. Anyone know of a quality shop that will make and weld on sliders? Thanks.
