5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Tires are 285/70/17 KO2s. The rims are Method Wheels but I'm not sure of the specs (other than Ø17") because they were already on the truck when I purchased it from the Toyota dealership last year.

 

Ochoco NF

 

Fry Canyon Ruins overlook (Utah)...

 

Truly blessed to have this view to come home to everyday.

 

Springtime in the SoCal desert can’t be beat!

 

Poison Spring Canyon, Utah...

 

When did you do Poison Springs? Any problems? I did this on an ATV a couple years ago and was planning to do it again this October in the 4Runner. Did you cross the Dirty Devil?

 

Last week. No problems, just a bumpy road but we didn't cross the river. It looked pretty low so I wouldn't expect any problems crossing.

 

Near Richfield, Utah...

 

Weather is getting better! Love the 4R booty shot

 

In the Sonoma Mountains of northern Nevada yesterday:

 

In Dixie Valley, Northern Nevada. We almost drove by each other!


And then Gabbs and Luning for shiny rocks. There's still a lot of water out there, I guess you noticed. I almost had a problem at the Hazen Mud Mounds.

 

Looks like the view from the mouth of Big Box Canyon in that pic. Did you go to check out the waterfall?

Deserted ice cream shop in the rain . Chester, NH

 

Pic is on opposite side of valley, looking towards Mt. Lincoln. I visited both box canyons and Coyote Canyon Cabin two weeks ago. I liked it so much I came back. I still haven't made it more north than the geothermal plant. I bet I could spend a lifetime exploring that valley.

 

Went for a short adventure up a road I've never been on to check out a campsite I saw on a youtube video. It is in the Cahuilla Mountain Wilderness in Southern California. Didn't make it to the campsite, but ended up at a trailhead so we went for a 5 mile hike. Road was in good condition for the most part but had some decent ruts and bumps etc. Went through one large puddle where I crossed my fingers and drove through (going and coming back). It was too big to get out and check, but didn't seem like it would be too deep to make it through (famous last words.. ha ha). Deeper than I thought it was, but got through.... although the stock Duelers were working hard.

Rained on the way back and was sliding around a bit. Tires did better than I expected.

 

Another from Poison Springs Canyon...

 

Gold Camp Road in Colorado this weekend.

 

Moss Back Butte, Utah...

 

I'm in San Diego too. Let me know if you ever want someone to tag along with ya. I do day trips out to anza borrego once in a while too, plus Baja as often as possible.

 

Moab

 

Fully Stock?

 

Did you do hells gate? I am training for it!

 

Here's a vid of me to getting into Hell's Gate. I watched a bunch of vids before I went to Moab the first time. There are plenty showing how to get up it, but I stumbled onto only 2 vids that showed getting into it. Sorry, no vid of me getting up it. SR5, no locker.

Wow, that looks cool. Will be visiting Colorado Spring very soon. Which route or road did you take? How long was the drive? What was your start and end? Thanks

 

We went from San Antonio to Amarillo the first day. Then Amarillo to Colorado Springs. I think the total was 12-14 hours we took our time. There is a lot of cool roads according to my Son. The road the picture was called Gold camp Road it opened up the day before we went. It is an easy road you don’t need 4wd but it overlooks Colorado Springs. On YouTube look for off-roading Colorado Springs.
