@@Michael_Tran ah makes sense, does add another 45-1hr on the trail. Well worth it, keep the trail on your list to go back and do it. That’s where the trail really earns it’s black diamond rating. Plus the views are great from it.

Hopefully it was helpful in some way...I think a stock 4x4 is fine but protection would be best imo...those rocks will do some damage. Going up might be a challenge if you don't have AT tires though

I have to admit, it's cool to see the trails and the footage is great... but as an owner of a JL on 35s and a JT Diesel on 37s, it's hard to watch the little guys do these obstacles. The things you guys have to go around and spot for I would be doing in reverse. It's crazy how far technology has come.

I think knowing the limit of your rig is key sometime...we like to push it but don't want to break our rigs either. With that being said...at least my rig is not build for rock crawling territories. A solid front axle with 35s will make this trail looks easy but IFS has it's limit unless you heavily modify it.

@@Michael_Tran I agree. I went from a lifted 2017 grand Cherokee on 33s to this. While it was fun doing small stuff in the GC, there was no way it was designed for a trail this hard. I’ll be doing heartbreak on the 30th with about a dozen wranglers, and I’ll be in my JT. I can’t wait to test the new skid plates, plus I have the ecodiesel which makes almost as much torque as that 392 you guys were with. Should be fun!

I feel like any solid front axle rig with at least 33s with some protection will do fine with this trail.

@@Michael_Tran in all seriousness, jumping to 35 is a commitment. Besides the obvious positives, the negatives are quite severe if you're not prepared. Gas mileage is a big hit. All the other components have to be adjusted i.e cv boot, spindle, possible diff drop or carrier drop, possible angle shims on the leaf springs, and so many others. Your vehicle is very capable as it is a tacoma. Think about the financial adjustments with the 35s. Its not an easy leap from 33 to 35 as it was from stock 31 to 33.

Maybe one day when I can get something else for work and this is only only rig for off roading and overlanding that might be the day.

Don’t put 35s on your Tacoma, 373 gears and 35s will bog that little V6 3.5 L down too much, unless you plan on changing your gearing. The extra weight of the tires. an increased rolling resistance is not worth it,,, Arizona, boy
