Tough Mudding

I had an opportunity to test the truck with fellow members of Tacomaworld. We went out on some steep and muddy dirt roads west of Medford, Oregon in March 2020.

Stopped in the hole and tried to get stuck, couldn’t

We started climbing a skid trail and slipped into the rut I was trying to straddle.

Thought both lockers would allow me to just crawl out gracefully but no had to give it a bit of gas. Was dragging the rear differential in the dirt

After using the gas to power out I popped what I thought was the first of two pretty tall wheelies. The front driver tire felt like it must have been 18” off of the ground, just a bit of a pucker! 

Coming down from the wheelie!

It was a great test but don’t plan on climbing this technical of terrain.
