Florida Panhandle Off-Roading With 2024 Tacoma?

We're working on a new intercooler upgrade for the 4th gen Tacoma, and it's shaping up to be a solid improvement over the factory unit. The core features more charge air rows for better thermal efficiency, and we're using cast aluminum end tanks for improved strength and flow characteristics. Lower intake air temperatures during high-stress conditions are the main goal here. As most know, once IATs rise past a certain point, the ECU begins pulling timing and boost to protect the engine, which means power drops off. This setup is designed to delay that threshold and keep performance consistent for longer periods. The prototype is already in development. We're currently testing with 3D printed aluminum-magnesium end tanks to validate fitment and flow. Once we have it on the truck, we'll be posting dyno and temperature data so everyone can see the actual performance difference. If you're pushing your Tacoma hard or live somewhere hot, this will be worth watching.

Hey guys! I’m up in the NWFL Panhandle. Who else is in the area? I am looking for some decent trails to take my Tacoma on up here. I have wheeled my Tacoma a lot out in the West Coast, which I know I won’t find that kind of off roading here, but something challenging would be nice. I am aware of Blackwater, Eglin Range (for what’s left), and also Point Washington State Forest. Is there anything else? Let me know!
