We went out thinking we would just drive on some dirt roads, turned out to be a fun snow wheeling trip.

We organized a group from TacomaWorld to come and snow wheel on VMUTS. We had a big RAM 2500 join us, he had some mechanical issues so he could not push his rig like he wanted to. I helped him get out of the trail he was leading into.

Went out with a group from Tacoma World, had a blast enjoying getting stuck for hours. Dax was working his rig hard to get through here.

Went out snow wheeling in my Toyota Tacoma on VMUTS today, what a blast. We went out on VMUTS #93 @ trail #36, short section. All the snow we have gotten recently was amazing to play in 🤪 We could not finish the short section of trail, due to me getting a flat and not knowing it. Lesson learned. when at 8 ~ 10 PSI, it is important to check your tires constantly if you are doing anything gnarly. We were pushing our rigs hard at low PSI and I failed to realize the exact problem, just that I had a problem trying to climb the hill..

Jeremiah going hard AF and I missed the entire thing

I have had a weird brake issue we have tried everything to resolve. Turns out it is my wheel bearing.

Had to modify my stock transmission shifter to allow access to the twin stick movement. All truck information available on TacomaWorld. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/never-enough-buildn-chat.477823/

We just finished wiring up the dash lights to work with my FJ Cruiser manual transfer case.

We got the hole cut, and mounted the new FJ Cruiser transfer case into my Tacoma tonight.

Being the best shop assistant I can possibly be, asking way to many stupid questions about things I should already know. While pointing a camera everywhere and babbling 😮

Give me some feedback on if this is f'd

Used my Tacoma to recover my large snowblower I have not used in a few years from the backyard of the house I am currently selling.

Playing around with the powder, babbling about things. 😁 Snow wheeling is my favorite hobby. 😎

We got almost 20cm of fresh powder last night. I had to go rip in it 😏

Just wanted to go over one of the install steps for the Bilstein 5160 remote reservoir mount. The passenger side is encased by the muffler and frame. Took more than twice as long to get that little plate connected than the driver's side. It was a struggle 😫

Not what you want your suspension to do and look like 😕

Went out to remove a tree from the side of an access road I use all the time. Decided I wanted to play around with a bunch of my recovery gear. So I rammed the taco into the snow with any f's given. Haha yea right, I gave all the f's about how and where I did this. I am no rookie. I am trying to advance my recovery and solo off roading abilities by doing things outside of my regular use. I want to ensure that when I go to use my recovery gear in a situation that is critical, I know how to go about it with confidence.

Yesterday warm weather and rain destroyed most of our snow, but we got close to 20cm so far this morning so I went out to play in it on Christmas morning 😅 Truck information available on TacomWorld. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/never-enough-buildn-chat.477823/

Had to go snow wheeling again of course, today we did the new trail opened to snow wheeling on VMUTS, #93

Some nice views on our little adventure. This is one of the reasons I bought my truck.

Captured a little video of what we did for hours. I am so lucky 😄
