I went on my first off-roading trip with my cousin and brother, as the cameraman. I gotta say I had a lot of fun watching trucks going through big puddles and just seeing people laughing having fun. It was definitely an experience that I want to do again in the future.
Looks like a lot of fun but my recommendation to you would be if you’re going to keep doing this put rock sliders on your truck if you damage those rocker panels that’s gonna be super expensive.
i went down a caliche road one way the decided in the way back to take the new route.... Thinking it was caliche... it wasn't lol. I was 3/4 of the way when my trd or started to fish tale. So I stopped an did 4H and it cut through... My heart was racing and the adrenaline was pumping.. I had 2 full water ditches on the sides (3 ft of water)... I was thinking "who am I gonna call for a pull out".. But, nope... The Taco did it job, & boy did it do it right.
Good to see 2 LX570’s off-roading, or the twin brother of the landcruiser 200 series. You don’t see them much off-road, they need to redesign it to be better off-road like the overseas versions. Our version here in the US is just a bigger Subaru, a “softroader” not a hardcore off-roader.
Done a lot of 4 wheeling in the mud , here in Morris County , northern New Jersey, back when I first brought my 1987 Toyota extra cab pickup , brand new ! I wish I could show you the photo of it when I first got it on here , it look 👀 like a 4x4 low rider (Lol 😂🤣😂🤣) she were a sweet ride , until a 3 inch body lift , aftermarket Torsion Bar lift , Downey headers for 22RE , aftermarket cam , running 33 BFG AT !
Just picked up a black trd pro even got the cat back exhaust. So ready to get in the woods and test her out. But I have a set of 235/85/16 MTs on order, those stock Goodyears look to tame for down here in central Fl.
I really liked the music choice for this video. It's nice hearing something subtle, instead of the loud music that's in other off-road videos. I loved seeing that new Lexus GX getting dirty!
@4:56 I like that Lexus (I think its a 570) with a hidden winch. That is definitely a nice group even the Lexus can off-road. I wonder if there's group like this around Denver CO where you off-road without damaging vehicles. True that one may argue that's part of the game but I like more of exploring type of tours vs technical driving.
Looks like the Elgin range. The day I got my 16 taco trd off road I took it out to get it dirty. The mud there stained the crap out of all the black trim lol
Constructive criticism. If you look away from the camera your sound cuts out a little. You can either get a mic or make sure you stay facing the camera. Great video thank you for making it.
Great video to wake upto. I think the trd pro is a great option if folks what a very capable vehicle and don't want to/are afraid to modify on their own. Small lift, and upgraded suspension. Did you use the 360* camera while on the trail? I remember you saying you weren't super impressed with the video quality on the road...
Yes I did! I think I will make a separate vid since this was a little long. And for some reason I couldn’t find that footage when I was editing. So it may have been lost. I’ll try to stitch it together if I find it.
@@TRDJon thanks Jon. I appreciate it. That 360 camera was on my must list until I saw that video of yours. Lol. Now I'm skeptical... Toyota just needs to upgrade the video display to a better resolution... And a larger portrait screen to incorporate climate controls too...
Jon, next time doing these types of off roading, can you tell us what gear you're on, while going through mud, climbing hills, etc.? Rear differential (when to use and when not to use)? 2wd, 4wg high/low when and where it should be applied? I'm new to 4x4 with my first ever pick up truck, 2021 Tacoma Off Road and looking for some adventure. Thanks.
@@TRDJon Where exactly did you enter at? I live in Milton and have gone up in that area but your trail didnt look too familiar. I got the same exact truck and color a few months ago and have been taking it out the last few weekends, been a ton of fun!
WOW, I knew the area looked eerily familiar. I grew up in Milton, haven't been back since graduating High School in 1987. Joined the Army and haven't been back. I used to love riding bikes and taking my truck out in those areas.....Ahh, the memories
did you air down? makes a world of difference off-roading! love the footage, hope to get my Tacomas' feet wet come spring! i don't mind the tires (Goodyears) but they are no good in the snow or ice!
Only if the price tag on the Tacoma was not so much and close to the Tundra price tag. I'll probably got one. Is just for that price tag mind as well get the Tundra in my mind. Only if the Taco price tag was so much lower then the Tundra that can make me see the deal I'll buy one...
It's all preference actually. They both serve different kind of functions. You're not taking a tundra down some of those trails, and some people simply don't want a full size truck
@@terrynichol577 Yes what you say is some what correct and that some don't want that big truck and perfere the smaller taco regardless of the price tag. But most people I know also always won't realize what they truly need over what they want until they actually own one. What you say is some what true. I know people that own the Taco and have no regret. I know people that own the Taco and immediately regret and traded for the Tundra. Then I've known people that complain why they got the big truck and that they didn't need such a big truck and traded their Tundra for the Taco just to see them later traded again for the Tundra again. But never the other way around. Then their are people that I know that are like me that just see the price of the Taco not a reasonable price tag at all. But if their is one thing that is fact is that all my Taco buddy would sometimes need to come use my Tundra because their Taco was not able to do certain work load jobs or their bed size Taco was not able to fit certain things. Which is all cool by me as their friends but they will hear it from me everytime. Or how when we go on hunting and fishing road trips we always end up taking my tundra instead of their Taco over many reason. I guess if your the type to LOVE going off road adventures and is what you do as a hobby then this Taco is good. But if your not such a person then trust me get the Tundra.
@@daeyoungkim9247 my phone was exporting a 10 minute 4k clip and it was live streaming on twitch, no body could hear me or see me but twitch was still live so I guess when your phone over heats it will drop frames while exporting and being live at the same time, if I had my iPhone 11 it would of crashed or turned the phone off due to "over heating", I honestly don't like iPhone there cameras are trash and coming from 120 refresh rate the iPhone feels laggy but I do miss my 8plus iphone
