Good looking rig, thanks for taking us along. Watching the video really gives shows some of the hiccups of a spacer lift, like you said. Great for an affordable option for most people, but you see the shortcomings when you get on more rugged terrain. Good stuff!
Makes for a lot of running back and forth for my camera. I ran into the jeep as I was coming out of the woods randomly, they stared at me for a while until they realized I was just grabbing my phone out of a random tree lol
I think you meant central city. I checked this one out with my rav4, there's also a super easy dirt road that leads over to idaho springs and has a few old mining structures along it.
@@FreedomCrawler someday I'm going get to travel out west. There are places in Colorado and Utah I want to see. So hard when you're in Pennsylvania and can only get off a week at a time.
Holy shit! I can only eat left Twix as well...I won’t by a right Twix no matter the craving haha. I have a 2019 TRD Off-road Cement as well and you give me some good insight as I’m a beginner
Lol that’s funny stuff right there. Glad I can help. I started a 101 series that I’m hoping helps people out as well. As soon as I can get the baby on the trail and get my pilot back I’ll have better footage again too
Yes, went over it in a few videos. It was “springy” on the trails but overall never had an issue with it. Did every thing I wanted it to, was just a bit bouncier off road
There was some campsites at the top of the hill itself which would offer great views but be a bit windy in some areas and along the trail itself. I think you could easily camp there
Freedom Crawler cool thanks. Check out Bill Moore for another one that isn’t real tough but fun just did it this weekend. There are a few others in that area too
Should be good to go. I was struggling trying to find anything even remotely difficult to play around with on the trail. Snow and ice may make it rough though so watch the trail reports depending on when you go
@@FreedomCrawler awesome. Are there any others beginner int trails you think I could handle worthy of checking out. Off road is totally new for me. I’m just a MTB rider who wants to go to cooler places and have fun just driving.
Switzerland trail is a great beginner trail. A lot of mountain bikers trek it too. I have a video on it also but I would definitely recommend that as a beginner trail. Again though, watch the weather on it in the winter
Good morning sir! I have a random question for you. Does Shea find riding in the passenger seat of the Tacoma uncomfortable? My wife finds the seats uncomfortable and I was wondering if this is something you have also heard about just in passing conversations etc. Thank you, -Dustin.
Hey thanks for reaching out. I’ve honestly heard more bickering about the seats and the heights of them than anything lol. I said tall people have issues and then 25% of the people said they have no issues while the other 75% did. I hear they suck and have heard they are great. I would lean towards they aren’t that great, especially if you compare to the 5th gen 4Runner. We both thought that was more comfortable
Thank you i came looking to see if someone commented on this. Crazy thing is according to google maps there are two Yankee hills. The other is near leadville..
Cement grey, lift and big tires makes for a really nice looking Tacoma.
It’s coming along. More and more lol
Can you bypass the rock crawling portion of this trail? trying to avoid any rocks and stick to the dirt roads.
Most likely, I try and do the exact opposite so if you see me on something it’s most likely intentionally on this trail as there wasn’t much
Florida?
I’m not sure I’m tracking on what you’re asking.
I’m sorry I thought you living florida
Someone should tell the Jeep that there’s much better trails to rock crawl here! 😂 Great video!
They were taking it easy as well. Out with the kids. Lol
Tacoma is coming along nicely. New rails look good👍 beautiful trail 💯
Thank you, it’s coming along and will keep doing so to make it better lol
Killer views. Sweet truck! Thanks for sharing
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Commerce City? NOPE, Central City.
Corrected a few times lol
Good looking rig, thanks for taking us along. Watching the video really gives shows some of the hiccups of a spacer lift, like you said. Great for an affordable option for most people, but you see the shortcomings when you get on more rugged terrain. Good stuff!
Thank you, It’s the only reason I’ve been testing it out, to show people the actual results of using it.
Looks like fun little trail👍
Wasn’t too bad at all.
Can you ride side x sides here?
Pretty sure I saw a few of them there
looks like a nice day! rachel earned her first badge today doing black bear. dirt every day brother.
Hey man, I messaged you back. Is this how we are going to communicate? Lol
That’s awesome, how did she feel driving it vs being a passenger?
I like the Surviver Man stile camera work. Lol
Have to do what you have to do
@@FreedomCrawler ill bet it made for a long day.
Makes for a lot of running back and forth for my camera. I ran into the jeep as I was coming out of the woods randomly, they stared at me for a while until they realized I was just grabbing my phone out of a random tree lol
@@FreedomCrawler lol
Your suspension looks so bouncy.
It’s bouncy as all get out. I’m sticking with rocking it like i said i would but I’m so over it lol
I think you meant central city. I checked this one out with my rav4, there's also a super easy dirt road that leads over to idaho springs and has a few old mining structures along it.
Probably did. I think that’s right
this threw me off so bad.
Commerce City huh? lol and then past 5 points and take Colfax.
About 3/4 mi to the right of where you started the vid, is where we go camping! Love Apex area
That’s awesome. It’s a great area.
LOVE the profile picture!
@@FreedomCrawler was just up there last night helping my buddy with his tundra build thanks for the reply!
beautiful
Agreed!
Awesome views
Well worth the trip
@@FreedomCrawler someday I'm going get to travel out west. There are places in Colorado and Utah I want to see. So hard when you're in Pennsylvania and can only get off a week at a time.
I understand that 100%. Take some time off, hit Ouray, telluride and Moab. So many trails in all three areas
Holy shit! I can only eat left Twix as well...I won’t by a right Twix no matter the craving haha. I have a 2019 TRD Off-road Cement as well and you give me some good insight as I’m a beginner

Hey man, did you ever do the review with the 100$ lift ? Did it handle rocky roads and some obstacles well ?
Yes, went over it in a few videos. It was “springy” on the trails but overall never had an issue with it. Did every thing I wanted it to, was just a bit bouncier off road
Should have done red cone with me Saturday
I must have missed the invite. I need to see where that is too. I hear it come up alot
Do you think a full size truck could make it up there? I'm thinking something like a Silverado Trail Boss
I believe so. It was a super easy trail.
Haven’t gone there yet, see any cool campsites or is it too busy?
There was some campsites at the top of the hill itself which would offer great views but be a bit windy in some areas and along the trail itself. I think you could easily camp there
Freedom Crawler cool thanks. Check out Bill Moore for another one that isn’t real tough but fun just did it this weekend. There are a few others in that area too
Nice I’ll check it out. I prefer getting into some more technical stuff so I’ll be keeping my eye out for a little bit harder trails
you think a stock sr5 with ko2 could handle this trail? i see you got a lift, curious if id have issues without upgraded armor + sliders
Should be good to go. I was struggling trying to find anything even remotely difficult to play around with on the trail. Snow and ice may make it rough though so watch the trail reports depending on when you go

Maybe two hours? It wasn’t that long.
Thank you!

@@FreedomCrawler Thank you sir for your time with your response. I sure enjoy your videos and learn things too! Hope all is well and stay healthy!
Thank you, you also!
Ready to run this in my Jetta!
Please do. Lol
Make sure you air down that Jetta!!
Killer views.
Well worth the trip
How much clearance do you have on the Tacoma?
3/2 lift with 285 Cooper stt pros
@@FreedomCrawler I was actually wanting to know how much ground clearance you have under your truck.
Dig the truck, but come on the Jeep Badge of Honor emblems are lame on a Tacoma.
They are lame on any vehicle. That’s why I made a parody video about it
Hey man, are you part of Colorado 4x4 club?
We set up many events and would love to see you out there!
Which club are you in?
@@FreedomCrawler the name of the club is Colorado 4x4 Club on Facebook, we've got an event for wheeler lake coming up next month.
Central City...not Commerce City. Just trying to help.
^ yes, what he said lol
Thank you i came looking to see if someone commented on this. Crazy thing is according to google maps there are two Yankee hills. The other is near leadville..
*FIRST* TODAY
lol
