Trail Video: Fins N’ Things, Moab UT, 01/03/26

[magicbenjils]

Check out some amateur editing of some bad filming of some beginner driving on a great trail.



This was my first time running Fins N’ Things, the truck handled it great! It was a foggy day, and we were out early enough to see only 2 other vehicles.

OnX rates the trail a 4/10, some obstacles were a little more intimidating than I anticipated based on guides I’d seen. That said, a stock TRD Off-Road could easily tackle this thing with a good spotter. 285/70r17 AT3W’s were nice to have, and the axle dump exhaust kept the tailpipe from being crushed, which definitely would’ve happened in stock config. Never touched the sliders.

It hadn’t rained in days and there was still quite a bit of water pooled in certain areas, even though the trail appeared and was mostly dry. Something to keep in mind.

Thanks for posting this, Ben. I've wondered how a stock TRD being operated by an amateur would do out there. Nice job.

Great video. What did you use to shoot your video.
Now I know what to look forward to on our summer long vacation. Thank you for the preview Morab utah is on our hit list.

Thank you! Shot on an iPhone and a DJI Mini drone. Fins N’ Things would be a great starting point for a Moab trip

That's for the responses. My ride, the WIDOW, I pray will have the high clearance rear bumper with duel swing by then.

Should be no problem, take the hard lines!

You got to remove the mud flaps when running trails down there.

I ran F&T with the tacoma the first week of November. With my stock 265 size tires, did kiss passenger side of the rear bumper.
So got home, ordered the ARB rear bumper, and installed before thanksgiving.
Ran 7mile Rim, kinda miss my TJ 2 door Jeep for moab…. The Tacoma is kinda long

Thanksgiving weekend, took the SxS down. Moab is just too much fun, unfortunately I had to quit going about ten years ago due to the popularity, just too many people, even when you get way out there.

Looks like fun. It doesn't look like you were in 4 lo with crawl control on, eh?

I planned to but forgot .
My ARK mudflaps, got bent up pretty good but they always came back to shape every morning.

I imagine those rocks would be something else after a rainstorm.

Great video.! Looks like you had the place to yourself. Hope you bought a big beer for the spotter.

4lo yes, crawl control no. I messed around with it a few times and found it works very well, but wanted to practice brake/throttle control

That was my feeling with my Gladiator Rubicon - a bit long. It's actually longer than the Tacomas.
