@@Thegreatwhitetundra_821 nice! You should! I’ve seen some clips with people snow wheeling up there. I am tempted to head up again next month. You have to get permits. So make sure you get those or you will be stuck at the gate

Yeah looks like it would be super fun on a dirt bike. Quite a few zipping around us during the day

Nice! I have a vid on installing the trd skid plate as well. It saved me on my last off road trip. You are smart to undercoat the whole truck. When I lived in New Hampshire that was pretty common. Yeah now that my truck is lifted I should get a car shield

@@Ghostinthemachine777 I agree 😂 was getting late and tired, but still came out really good

@@backwoodzbuddha hahahah does look great man!

Oh man! Sounds precious! Would have loved to see the 4x4s trying and make it up that bank! Looked steep as hell!

@@SamwiseOutdoors yeah I know it gets a bad rep, but it is really a magical place

Your Suby should be fine the way it is. Just a couple rough patches. I saw Priuses rollin out there. Yeah run up the trail toward shelter cove. Just don’t drink 6 beers before like I did. It’s a super fun run

@@backwoodzbuddha 6 beers before a run sounds like my last morning in Kauai, lol.

@@SamwiseOutdoorsare you on Strava? You can see my nutty runs @ Brian Morrisey on there. I subbed your channel. I used to backpack a lot but haven’t in years.

@@backwoodzbuddha I'm not on Strava, sadly. I've been on Runtastic/Adidas Running for years and I'm afraid to change apps and lose all of my stats.

@@fourwheeltravel yeah had a perfect weekend! It was also on my list for over a year.

Yeah should be fine. The trails are marked by difficulty (green, blue and black) like ski trails. Maybe stay on the green trails or check out the blues first

Nice! I want to get back up there soon now that winter is fading out. You were lucky to get a spot at Laguna Campground. Those sites have some great views! I had to post up at Sweetwater. Yeah, the video is from October last year. I didn't make it to the top of Laguna Mountain either. It was getting too dark, I was solo, and I felt like Mountain Lions were stalking me haha! Thanks for catching that typo... yes Clear Creek Road was the road I was looking for. I'll change it in the description. Did you make it over to New Idria? Seems like a super cool old abandoned mercury mine.

@@backwoodzbuddha I rode to New Idria via Pinoche rd and New Idria rd. about 3 years ago. One section of New Idria road got washed out in the following winter storm, still not repaired, but you can go around it with a 4x4 from what i have read. I do want to get the permit and ride across Clear Creek to Coalinga rd., just need to find someone to go with, probably not a good idea to solo across on my dual sport motorcycle. BTW, I didn't camp at Laguna Mt., slept in my car off the side of the road off hwy 25 the night before. There is a new? trail that is not on that map in your video, the latest map shows a trail that if you are starting from Sweetwater, you can cross over from the primitive campsite to the ridge across, maybe that's what you took? I went about half a mile up the primitive trail to the peak, hard to navigate and there is a steep section maybe 30% grade that I can see, but I turned around before that. I did run into another younger guy also solo hiking out there in that primitive trail section. I think we were both kind of surprised to see each other, lol. He told me he went to the top, he was the only other person I saw out on my hike. My cellphone didn't have enough juice and i was using it a lot to navigate that primitive trail section, so I decided to turn around. I think there were others hiking that day, they most likely hiked out to the Laguna Falls instead of the peak.

What do you recommend?

@@backwoodzbuddha trd pro headlights it goes well with the grill.

Oh awesome! I have a pass and up there a lot. I looove Heavenly!

Haha! Let me take a look at your rig and get some pointers?

Yeah definitely!

Took your advice…..finally put the skid plate on and made a short install vid

No. It’s an after market mod. Several companies make these TRD Pro Heritage grills. This one seems to be good np-motorsports.com/products/areyourshop-car-oem-front-bumper-hood-grill-matte-black-for-toyota-tacoma-trd-pro-2016-2019-2017-plastic-car-styling-accessories?variant=31917827686488&currency=USD&

Tacoma Troop...........check the out....they make good quality grills.........I would highly recommend them!

Haha! Tots!

Nah, I don’t use the tonneau cover (canopy) much. Just when traveling. I am done with SUVs. This works well for me for now. You’re right though, long beds are nice.

Nope. I have a short bed and use it everyday for work, around my farm and as a hunting truck. Can't put a deer or an Elk in the back of a Runner and if one concrete bag busts open you'll wish you had a truck. Plus the longer bed is not much bigger, Id rather have the shorter wheelbase but still have a truck.

@@manwithnoname734very good points. I had an SUV before this and bags of concrete, wood chips, etc. did explode in the back and a bitch to clean up. The open bed you just need a broom if anything

As a long bed owner. I love it but my brother has a short bed and it works perfectly for what we do around the farm. He hauls camping gear, guns his dirt bike. And plenty of room for the feed for the cows and pigs and all the coolers fit perfectly when we do hay in the e summer. Not to mention it carries him and his wife’s groceries under the soft tonneau in the winter. And lastly his mud boots and tools can go right in after a long day working on the equipment or building a or whatever. Pretty sad for you to just assume a short bed truck has no place for anyone. With due respect I almost figure you probably don’t even use your long bed but once a year to haul something. Am I wrong sir?!

@@DanBrandoyou aren’t wrong by any means. My short bed does what I need it do to haul what I need for the house. I am not doing any construction and primarily used it for off-roading and don’t want the longer wheel base. If I wanted a long bed, probably would have gotten a Chevy or Ford, but Tacomas kill it on the trails. Some of us do not only use our trucks to haul and what I do need to haul, seems to do just fine.

Sounds awesome! Yeah front door tints look really good!

Yeah! Really a cool sight!

Oh that sucks you had to cut it. The GeeVull one I put the link to fits perfectly

Thanks so much! Saving up for tires now for next upgrade. The All Seasons are just plain annoying even doing light off roading

Worth a shot! Let’s go!

Just truckin away here… you?

About $38k. It’s worth it!

@@backwoodzbuddha Did you get it used? a 4x4 DC sport is already like 39K msrp

Coming soon!

Good point

Thanks for filming the great footage!!! Impressive!
