Let's see those trail rig photos!

Post by LetsGoMets »

Post pictures of your trail rig! Got a trusty Civic that lets you get that added positive workout? Pedal a bike? Live in an Astrovan? Put a lift on that CrossTrek or cruise around in a stock Forester? Getting that Rivian out there? Land Cruiser or bust? Jeep Life? Sprinter? Soccer van? As long as you take it climbing and it get's you to the mountains, let's see it and hear about it!


1998 Toyota Land Cruiser. 240k miles, daily driver. 1.5" lift. Generally truck camp all over the state at trailheads.

2013 Tacoma 4.0L 6MT. Bought this with 53k miles in 2021, has 87k now.

Have added RCI skids and sliders and Elka 2.5 DSC racing suspension (2.5" lift). Just put on a Victory 4x4 winch mount bumper with a Badlands 12,000 lbs winch. The mid-rise topper has been great for sleeping in the back versus the cab-height, will eventually build a platform with drawers.

Only thing left I'm going to do is add some aftermarket wheels (SCS F5s) before I go up a tire size to 285s when the current 265s need replaced.

Also kinda miss my old F250 with a Northstar pop up camper. Saw a lot of the PNW in this rig when living in Boise.

This is a great looking Taco w/ a shell for sure. Who does your Toyota work? Big fan of the Toy Shop in Denver for all my stuff.

Our 2008 (Blue) and 2004 (White) 4Runners. Blue has a 3 inch lift so it does the harder things.

Also the blue one in the San Juans.

Driven new off the lot in November 2006, my Chitti has been the best purchase of my life and has enabled this hobby like nothing other than my own legs.
It survived water to the door handles at the Rockdale creek crossing, hitting a deer head-on at 72mph (I drove home), and somehow made it over Hancock Pass and down to St. Elmo (not recommended for a stock vehicle with or without a spotter).
Approaching 300k miles on its 5th set of BFG ATs, second clutch, and little maintenance, it will continue as my daily driver until it won't.

Such a great benchmark measurement.
