Testing My Tacoma's Performance in Muddy Waters: A Short but Thrilling Ride and a Warning About Brake Line Issues

I am clearly showing my age with this one.....and it might seem to be a frivolous thing, but I genuinely want to know if I'm the only one out there that hates having the cargo in their bed sliding all over place and banging into the sidewalls and tailgate. The old school rubber bed mats, in my opinion, should have come with the floor mats for the Tacoma. An absolute must have have given the "slick" composite material that makes up the bed of the Tacoma. I got this one from TrailFx as its a bit thicker than the OEM Toyota version and less expensive. Does anyone else care about this like I do?

Earlier today, I took a quick ride in my truck. It started to rain, so I thought I'd see how well my truck could handle it.

Driving through the mud was really fun. My truck did great, even though it was a short ride. I think it was enough to check how my truck runs.

Just one piece of advice: don't let mud pile up in the back wheels inside. This mess can hurt the brake lines by accident, and there's a known problem with Tacomas about this.

P.S: The picture I shared was the one I took while I was driving, that's why it's a little blur. Wanted to capture the moment I guess.
