my new 4runner is on its way to Dakar...

first, MANY THANKS!! for all the post from the veteran posters in here; 1enginer, etc. Did my research here before pulling the trigger on my new truck - that is currently on its way to Dakar in Senegal. (dont blame yourself for me driving away with an SR5 instead of the Off Road w KDSS - the third row seat was the necessary compromise to get my co-pilot to renew her contract. But I do wonder what I will do without the rear-locker that kicked so much hind in my old Fortuner).

Will mostly be riding on beaches, sandy savanna, and the desert. New terrain for me. So I hope to learn from you guys how to handle the 4runner in sand... will send some pics once the rig arrives and is broken in.

 

Nothing wrong with an SR-5 at all man, enjoy.

 

Welcome....none of my damn business but where is your truck coming from if it's shipping to Senegal?

 

Welcome and enjoy!
