    Anyone taken their Tacoma over Wheeler Pass near Las Vegas? I've done it on the dirt bike a few times without problems but last August, we did the trail as a group.

    When we were crawling near the top in 4-Lo in the 95° Nevada heat, my coolant temp got dangerously hot! I guess I forgot that the boiling point is lower at high elevations!

    I've since leaned my lesson and upgraded the radiator but here's the video from our trail run to the Summit and beyond. Enjoy:
