5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Is that a “sandrail” with ya? My favorite, I can pee in the tank and it still runs. Go all day on one 6g tank too!!!

 

The sixth pic, on the right. You weld the torsion bar housing back, off of a Volkswagen onto a tubular frame. And use the front “I” beam suspension....

 

Happy to see you at least wearing a helmet. Looked like a great ride!!

 

excuse my garage it’s a mess....It’s actually a two car garage length wise. These are excellent hill climbers.. Even has hydraulic throttle and distributerless ignition system...

 

Old pic, I have since remodeled/cleaned the garage. Go ahead laugh it up. This thing is bad as hell. And jumps well too!!!

 

Is that plated & street legal?
Nice build!

 

Yes, Special Construction Vehicle Title. Supposed to only drive it to shows and has to be garaged. Took two, 3rd places at the “bug out”, frame class. They can get me for not having a third brake light and no wipers/defrost...but I like driving with the windshield removed anyway...

 

DMV came out and riveted a VIN number on it. Geico insures it....

 

Not true. Those things are everywhere on the east side. When I was young my Dad built one. I was his gopher. We went to the Silver Lake Sand dunes 15 years in a row for our family vacation. A lot of fun.

 

Granted, not as scenic as most ... but, least it ain't on pavement. LOL!

 

Now that has balls!!!

 

My favorite limited. Looks good

 

Nice! Better check your air filter after that one Jennifer. Looks like you had a blast!

 

It's amazing how that dang dust can keep showing up after a few washes..

 

just out checking trail cams

 

After a few washes, HAH! I have a half mile of gravel road to get to pavement. I say gravel, but it's more like talcum powder with few bits of gravel thrown in just to get thrown at the truck. LOL! One trip out and one trip back an the thing is covered with dust.

 

I'm retired so I don't go out every day. The inside is easier to keep clean ... sort of ... 'cept for the floor mats. Because of hard water, I can't wash it at home so it's half dirty by the time I get home from the car wash. Used to go to "show 'n shines" with my Mustang. Same thing. I'm really good with a shop vac on blow and a duster. LOL!


Typical winter look. Another "Scenic Location". LOL! No off road.

 

These trucks look good with some dirt on 'em … https://www.toyota.com/trdpro/

 

The color changes a lot with the light.
This is off the link above.
Guess I need to see it in person...

 

Agree.
It's too glossy and missed the mark by a shade or two.
Should more of a muted finish.

 

Not super scenic, but here I am leading a Tacomaworld trail run. I set up a camping trip, hopefully to become an annual event! We had 11 trucks from as far as Nebraska! Mostly Wisconsin and Illinois folks, though.

We hit a few sections of the Pipeline trail. This area was sand and a little mud, then we got into some gravel, dirt, and rock areas. I had a lot of help from some more experienced drivers, and we all had fun.

I took the 4runner through a few spots that I was afraid of on previous solo trips. I'm constantly amazed by the capability of a stock OFF-ROAD. These trucks are nothing short of amazing!

 

Michigan UP camping and hiking on the last summer weekend.

 

I’ve been there. All the way to the top. Did you bring a metal detector to look for copper?

 

Ya I set up a fiber-ring in Detroit. It was May and still not green....but the UP in July, grass was starting to grow...lol

 

New 4Runner TRDOP! Hello from Hawaii!

 

Hello!!! What do you catch out there? I could look at this pic all night......

 

Not much of a fisherman, just wanted a nice scenic view with this beauty lol.

 

Big bear lake area.

Maiden voyage with our trailer (well first trip w/ the 4runner towing it ).

Excited for many more!

 

Holcomb or Big Pines?
