Default Veteran's Day wheeling

**Happy Veteran's Day and thank you to those of you who serve our fabulous country**

Since I had the day off, decided to go trail riding and put the the Toyo MTs to work. The pictures don't do justice in showing how steep some of these hills actually are. It was really muddy and slippery but the Toyos did great.






I couldn't get up this one slope and was a little disappointed but I guess maybe a front locker would have helped. My rear left tire was just spinning and I had it in 4Lo. I thought I would have made it, I swear my old Tacoma with the rear locker got up this same spot before? Oh well, love my truck nevertheless.

Yeah the NW is pretty great when it comes to the pleasures of the outdoors.

I used to wheel a lot when I had a Tacoma and Frontier. Those trucks are easier to wheel since they're smaller and easier to navigate through the narrow trails at the place I go to. This was maybe the 4th time I tried wheeling my F150. No lie, I was mad that it couldn't get up that one spot in the last picture, thought the front wheels would be able to pull me up?

Yeah i'm in a 1998 pathfinder, haven't wheeled it really hard but do like the size factor of it. As for the front wheels, it does seem to me that they should've been able to hoist you up, but a locker would prolly help. Again beautiful truck
