5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Outside of Canoncito, NM. Obligatory dog shot!

 

Maybe someday. I've been heading out every weekend, either Saturday or Sunday. This Sunday I'm going again to Reymert Mine and the Cottonwood Canyon Road petroglyphs.

 

Kofa Cabin.



Camp

 

Epic! If there was a river or a leak nearby ... maaaaannnn....

 

I want to go there just for the drive.

Took a pretty gnarly trail following this Land Rover. Used my kinetic recovery rope twice to pull a Nissan Pathfinder up and over a couple ledges. He really needed a locker on this trail.



Group Road trip to Glade Top Trail:

Digging that Goat Armor

^^^Earned some good pin striping on that trail. Good footage in that second video.

 

It'll buff out. I figure if I got Goat Armor now, I'd use it to hide all the pin stripes.

 

Enjoyed hangin with Fltslr today at Reymert Mine Trail. Good company and scenic views.



Check out these Petroglyphs:

 

North of Yuma, AZ on the trail to the Big Eye mine. Went with my folks friends who do the run in UTVs and lifted Jeeps. 4Runner did great and barely scraped in a couple of spots. They were impressed.

 

Nevada City..

 

Just came back from 6 days on the Mojave Road, Joshua Tree, Death Valley. Still working on the trip blog but here's a few pics of the 4R looking all 'gramworthy (if only I had an IG, or any social media...). I'm pretty sure my wife is over me taking pictures of the 4Runner. She just rolls her eyes and hunkers down in her seat... except the one where she was driving through the water, that one she was all about...

 

Awesome pics!

 

Four Peak Road, north of Mesa, AZ.

 

Great pictures! We lived 2 yrs in Tucson & 2 in Phoenix when I was in grade school. You really make me want to return.
On that topic; my wife's childhood friend is moving to the Phoenix metro. Maybe we will get a trip back. I want to move back but owning a lawn, landscape & snow removal business makes that difficult.
Views on views everywhere in the state!

Gypsum mine near Glamis, CA...

 

Sunset in my "gated community."
Plus new tires and UCA's.

 

At an F-4 Phantom crash site near the Arizona/Mexico border.

Still snowing ...

 

Very cool. Looking forward to your trip report.

 

Shenandoah and random VA

 

Took a few trails in Arizona to see the wonderful weather we were blessed with today.

 

Where'd you go?

 

Thanks.

Went up to Four Peaks starting off the 87 freeway and then on our way back down we went down the route that leads to highway 188. Then we got off on route 88 at the Roosevelt Dam and drove to Apache Lake. I found out that the 88 (dirt road between Canyon lake and Apache lake) is closed because of a landslide a couple years back that Arizona isn’t fixing (even private companies offered to use their equipment and they were told no). Anyways then drove to Globe and back home. It was a great adventure.

 

Enjoyed reading about your trip. Looks like you both had fun.

 

City of the dead

 

Bulldog Canyon near the superstitions
