Welcome to the group Matt! Look forward to seeing your taco out there, keep an eye out on the trail runs and if you have questions if your rig will make it just ask. I did that quite a bit when I first started looking at joining runs and people were extremely helpful. Plus trailsoffroad is a great resource too on a particular trail

Welcome to the group!
Switzerland Trail and Bunce School Road are two that are open now that would be in the easy to moderate range.

Welcome. Is this the Taco I wheeled with at Pickle Gulch and Switzerland trail last weekend?

Stock Tacoma TRD-OR is extremely capable with rear locker etc....the biggest challenge is the stock ground clearance is okay (but not great given the longer wheelbase) and overhang of the rear bed... ....yet, I still run mine pretty much stock and its has no issues with moderate to even slightly difficult trails. Traction is not usually the issue, but clearance. As I daily drive mine, use it to tow my cj and raft and take lots of road trips in mine, I didn't want to modify it much or add too much weight etc - and I have an old cj for more hard-core trails. If you decide you really love doing this, and have a bit of cash to spend on it, my biggest suggestion for taco's is an aftermarket rear bumper to take a bit of abuse on the back end. I never added it to mine (my wheeling budget is usually wasted on one of my old jeeps)...I have a trailer hitch on mine as well which does protect the rear quite a bit, and another reason I never added anything to it. You can wheel all moderate trails around here without concern of damage.
