Went to Moab for some mountain biking and thought I would put my Tacoma to the test. I read about the route and wasn't expecting it to get too hairy. To make a long story short, the Tacoma did great. It would have been nice to have a little more clearance for the front skid plate, pin connector, and hitch. The clearance from my BFG AT KO's (265/75/16) and my amazing driving (haha) got the truck through without many scratches on the underside. The aluminum toyota skidplate took some hits but nothing else was too badly impacted. Here are some pics. The pics are relatively worthless because I was alone and didn't get any with very good perspective. disclaimer: four wheeling alone is stupid, but so is half the other stuff i do.
This was no hard core trail by any means, but I thought it was a good testament to the capabilities of the Tacoma offroad. The only relevant upgrade are the BFGs which were aired down. I think they helped significantly over stock.
I didn't see another jeep or any other vehicle except a few ATVs..
This is the first thing I thought I couldn't get up, but did:

The "money shot" at the end:

To compound my stupidity, I went down another route than the one I came up. It's an out and back with a loop at the end. It was a bit more severe on the way down, but gravity helped. As you can see, my hood corner is visible in this one and the corner of the bed in the next. Both photos were taken from the same spot in the trail looking down then up.
Looking back up:

Yet another section. I used A-Trac on this one and it seemed to have helped with the sandy rock:

Does this qualify as a hitch connector relocation?? The hitch kind of saved my bumper, I think:
