hey folks, nice pics everyone. i just found this and it gives me a lot to think about with my TB. i just paid it off. ( for the second time). and was cruzing the internet to do some research for taking it offroading. since i beat the $#!^ out of my wife's CRV this summer camping. now its a commuter and the TB is going to go play ing the dirt. thanks for all the info you guys provide i get a better idea of what this thing can do. i use to think this was a glorifies min-van now im seeing what is capable in the the right gears and with a few mods. i use to take my Tundra offroading alot and when i moved into this i didn't have high expectations. but your pics and forums have changed my mind and im developing a shopping list now. thanks again for the OS.

Hey frogger man!

Glad you found the site. We are curious how you found the site too. Did you find us on google? or was it a link from Trailvoy?

Also, not being a jackass, but we do try to use capitalization here. More than anything else, it's just a courtesy to anyone that has to read your posts.

Cheers, and welcome to the cause! :flex dirty:

Nice. Where is the Red Lakes area? Also, I see you're in Aurora. Any good Off-road spots you know of? I just moved to Silverthorne and am working in Leadville. :flex dirty:

Probably due to the fact we all look at lifted Trailblazers and Envoys so anything stock looking "appears" lowered lol, they do to me atleast haha.

We try to camp every other weekend with our son and 2 dogs. Red Feather lakes are up by Fort Collins, but we usually just find some place to drive to. I have been around Rampart Range area it has some good stuff. There are some 4x4 book with some good trails in them that i have bought and used before. If you google Colorado 4x4 or check out any book store they will have them. The TB is stock still just offroad tires and some spray paint for now. Budgets make doing add ons hard.
