5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

I've always loved the A-B area ever since I was a kid. It's one of the things that I've truly missed after moving from SoCal.
Currently it's 0* here in MT. It was at -23* last night.
And I miss the good Carne Asada tacos & Chile Verde burritos.

You guys know what I'm talking about...

 

Just a short jaunt up Voltaire Canyon, Eastern Sierra Nevada near Carson City.

 

Tonto national forest

 

Where is this? Is there dispersed camping on that route? I'm looking to get out this weekend solo and that looks like some wonderful potential

 

Photo was taken at 33.34199, -111.22019 and we came in the trail at 33.27515, -111.28135

it’s a beautiful area and tons of fire roads to explore with campsites scattered about. I can send you our campsite coordinates as well in a dm if you want, I’ve been out there twice now.

 

Please do! Stock height/tire size all good?

 

You can't beat the Superstitions for great hiking.

 

I remember my very first hike to flat iron was in February. It was like 50 degrees out the majority of the hike but when we got to the top it was about 30 and snowing. It tripped us out. Very beautiful area for sure!

 

The thing I remember most about the Flatiron is the tree assist to get up the last step. Snow adds a whole new element. There are few things as beautiful as snow in the desert.

 

CA to OH guy here. I can dig it.

 

Sunset Cliffs, San Diego

 

How them 20” rims do on the washboard roads in DV?

 

Interesting … never thought about mts other than rocky terrain.

is it useful even in flat terrain + deep snow? is it able to modulate throttle better than the driver?

 

Northern Nevada, yesterday afternoon:

 

Works like less aggressive A-Trac

 

Curious, Why do you run sr5 rims on your TOR?

 

First snow

 

An excellent video covering the use of MTS/Atrac that I’ve seen to date…

Terrible. We skipped Racetrack Playa because of this. Once the stock Bridgestone Duelers wear out I'm going to swap to TRD 17" rims and some proper A/T tires.

 

Pucker Ridge in Superior AZ. Not my usual type of trail but it was very scenic!

 

Running some errands

 

Very nice, what area is this?

 

SW Denver metro

 

That first picture is my fav.

 

High Steel Bridge in Shelton WA
