Photos from a Tacoma overland trip in Colorado (Black Bear, Engineer, Imogene, Old Monarch Pass, Gunnison, etc...)

No particular order. Midside, four-door truck on Black Bear Pass was interesting. I was taking the two tight switches like a Jeep, and quickly had to figure a new strategy. Wasn't a problem, took a couple more turns than usual

Love the pictures - looks like a great trip. What bed rack are you running? And opinion on the RTT? In the market for both this fall or next spring.

Running the RoofNest Sparrow 2. It's been great so far. Fast to deploy and break down. https://roofnest.com/products/sparrow-2?_pos=3&_fid=29fbe35e8&_ss=c

Wow - Love the build and those are great pictures - thanks!

Looks like a fun trip and the Taco looks right at home in the mountains.

I sure wish I had mine!

Black Bear Pass. I thought I recognized that road.

How did you fare on that super tight switchback (Black Bear) on the downhill side past the waterfall? That's a tight turn with a nasty drop off. Did it require an Austin Powers back up?

I don't know if it's still there, but there was a big ass rock on the passenger side that should be sponsored by a Telluride body shop.

What front bumper is that?

Maybe 3 backups? Sliders were tight to the passenger (inside corner) rock in the end. Driver's rear was light but wasn't dangerously so. If I were to do it again I'd probably take it as wide as possible and make it 4 backups. It was my first time in a mid-size there, so I was taking Jeep lines.

It's ours, but hasn't launched officially yet.

Curious why the decision to move the fog lights close together like that?

A lot of stuff has to go in not much space once we add a winch and tie-ins for the d-rings.
