209 wheelers

Not that I will have the time to enjoy some off-road, but I'm glad I found this forum section.
Anyway I live in Hilmar, and I have rode my dual sport up in the hills towards Yosemite and I have ran across a group of 4Runners on off-roading a few months ago.
I have been searching forums but I have not have much luck finding the group that was on that ride.
I have a 4Runner that I just got running, after putting some money into it, I think I'm ready to take it to the hills and would like to join others as long at its not beyond my capabilities, I am stock without lift, removed running boards, no winch, no oversize mud tires, only AT's, mud is not my thing and neither is rock crawling, just want to enjoy nature maybe minor rock garden here and there and just enjoy some time out there.
So with all this said, can someone put me on the right path to possibly a group ride, once things cool down a little.

 

This possibly might be your closest group - they have some highly experienced off roaders and the thread has some very interesting journeys: https://www.4runners.com/threads/sacramento-area-thread.14645/
