After the last Dusy trip I decided it was finally time to redo my roll cage and get a windshield back in my rig. I pushed to have my truck ready for this year's Thanksgiving Backdoor Bash, but I ended up getting Covid19 right before the trip and was forced to stay home sick (the rona sucks, don't get it). Super bummed about missing that event and itching to explore the desert, we got a small crew together for a quick weekend getaway to Cougar Buttes.
Leaving after work, we arrived late only to be greeted by an unusually strong wind storm. I was fine sleeping in the back of my truck, but those with tents had their shelters destroyed overnight. After some delicious breakfast tacos (thanks Sara) we drove through the sandstorm to find some rocks..

That looks like a awesome place to wheel

It's rad. Definitely worth checking out if you are ever in the area.

7:29 Toyota factory option for the Tacoma... That seatbelt is pretty famous for me... Always have to tell my passengers to pull the seat belt back into it's place or toss the loose end back inside haha

[@COLINSMITHSLO]

LOL nice catch. That's hilarious!

[@michaelgile5749]

Great video as always, love Cougar Buttes, Hammer Down is fun, if you have not already done so, do the extra credit line up the rocks to the left just after the large drop off V notch, just another little fun spot! Not sure what day you ran this but might be the same day I was on Wrecking Ball, the wind was ridiculous!

[@COLINSMITHSLO]

I actually tried that line last time I was out at CB and after like 15 attempts I bailed. I was super close but my tires would just not stay out of the notch at the top. When I get my Treps put back together I will def give it another go.

[@michaelgile5749]

@@COLINSMITHSLO It is a challenging line, I kept slipping off at the same spot and finally had to use the winch! Hope you make it next time, half the fun is having to work at it, if it was easy we would be board right!

[@victorslowik3786]

Square tubing or round tubing for sliders which is better? Greetings from Texas/Merry Christmas, great content even due to adverse conditions!!!

[@COLINSMITHSLO]

Happy xmas! Thanks for checking out the video! I don't think the material sourced for sliders is as important as getting something that fits your vehicle well. I think most sliders are round tube because it's just easier to make, but rigs with boatsides or super flush mounted sliders might use square stock or plate. FWIW I use normal trail gear sliders that have been moved in towards the cab and tied into my exo cage.

GOOD DAY IN MY BOOK !! What leafs are in rigs if you don’t mind me asking and tire sizes I’m on 38s 2nd gen 4 link rear leaf front but I’m on struggle street with my front way to stiff !! Thanks

[@COLINSMITHSLO]

I have Trail Gear 5" packs in the front of mine and I think Wyatt is using a Toyota RUF pack. Maybe your leaf pack just needs to settle a bit? They take time to break in.

[@jznv707]

what mount did you use for your cooler?

[@COLINSMITHSLO]

The cooler sits on a cut down pallet rack above the gas tank and its held down with a combination of hose clamps through the cooler handle holes and then a ratchet strap through the hose clamps and down to pallet rack. Ghetto but works well lol.

[@johnbowles3848]
