    Yeah, I've got no idea what you're asking about. Googled it, and that was the result.
    I guess I should have just left your thread alone, but I've had lots of coffee already this morning; sorry.

    Good luck in your quest for information. :thumbsup:

    Are there backcountry route mapping projects that are providing verified/tested trail information for 4x4 drivers, as BDR does for off road motorcyclists?

    Why don’t you drive the BDR? it’s designed for big bikes, it’s not singletrack so it’d be fine for a 4wd taco. A guy drove his 4wd the length of the NMBDR.

    Most of the BDRs can be run in a 4x4 in addition to motorcycle. I've done a couple myself, and know folks who have done Idaho and Colorado as well which I think would be awesome. Nevada and New Mexico are also on my list to do here shortly.

    All in all, they are usually fun routes to take, with what I'd call low-to-midlow levels of technicality.

    Here are a couple write-ups I've done of WA and OR in a first gen Tacoma.

    Oregon (attempt of one segment):
    Oregon-bound Chapter 3: Mission Impossible: Oregon's Backcountry Discovery Route

    Return to OBDR (route 5):
    Return to the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (Jul 2017)

    You can take your truck on the BDR routes. I've done a good portion of the Utah BDR (before I knew what the BDR was). I think there may be a few sections you might have to bypass due to being too narrow in a truck, but they are definitely passable. Usually bike routes like the BDR are a little more mellow as well, because your 1200 GS doesn't do so hot in techy rock gardens. I've seen a few people hit Fins & Things on touring bikes though.
