5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Isla Nublar

 

Wow. Gemini is not bad at all.

 

It’s got two left differentials, 12 fingers, no spare, and the hitch isn’t rusty! Fake!!!

 

Monday 11/18 on Willow Creek Road between Emmett and Eagle Idaho.

 

I'll play along. These are from this past March. We spent a week in Hurricane, UT, and then another week in Moab, UT.



Sand Hollow



Top of the World



Sand Hollow is really spectacular...



We were in Hurricane at Sand Hollow for Matt's Offroad Games. Going again this year!



Long Canyon, Moab



More Moab

 

super cool pics. Been wanting to go to Moab for so long. One day.

 

Don't wait. Life is too short!

I've been there three times, twice on my motorcycle, and once with the 4Runner.

On the White Rim Trail



We're heading to Utah again for 2 weeks in March with the 4Runner, and then again for two weeks in October....with both the Runner and the bikes!

 

Nice! I was in Hurricane this past May. Heading back again next May for a week (with some time in Big Bear and Death Valley on the way).

Moab is on my list of places to go but I'm thinking of combing it with Western Colorado in one big trip.

 

Clear Creek

 

My version of your photo.

Near a really good Mongolian restaurant...

 

We had a really good Mongolian Bbq in our town but, sadly it closed after covid.

 

next time snap one of just the right front wheel on the curb to show the articulation, like jeep bros do with another's front tire.

 

Savoring the perfect winter weather in the heart of the Arabian Peninsula's vast Empty Quarter...

 

Titus

 

Can't quite ID it.... Tenere 700? I wonder sometimes how many Toyota SUV owners (that actually use their machines) also do ADV or DS riding.... at least two of us (you and me, lol)...

 

Curious about your crossbar setup...any details on what you used?

 

I've got a KTM 640 Adventure and a Honda Africa Twin.

I've ridden the Africa Twin in Moab several times... including White Rim. I've also done the Mid Atlantic BDR, Continental Divide Ride, and the Trans America Trail to name a few other trips I've ridden it on.

Taking the 640 out to Moab on our October trip.

 

Not really a scenic location.... just the road into my cabin....but tonight I was taking a few pictures of my new rock lights, and got this really cool (no pun intended) picture in the snow.

 

Neat shot. But to this ol' Missi'ppi boy, that's a HUGE hell naw.

 

Leaving S Florida after a great week visiting the in-laws.

 

Behold, a scenic mud puddle. Took over an hour for both rigs to get out of this mess.

 

Looks like a lot of fun. And yes , beautiful

 

It’s a rack system by a guy who designed the brackets and uses 8020 aluminum extrusions for the crossbars. He called it NiseRack and sold the brackets on this forum and the other one a few years ago. But he’s seemed to have lost interest and has gone dark. Which is too bad, the rack works really well for my needs.
I made the wind fairing out of 1/4 aluminum sheet.

 

Been having some fun with vectorizing images, been thinking about practicing some acrylic paint art or something, and vectorized some of the nice pics from the last few pages. Great pics!

 

How'd the FJ fair??loved my 2008& 2012's!

 

Getting ready for another overnight backpacking trip.

 

Here's a shot from a recent Death Valley trip

 

One of the most unforgiving places on Earth – the rugged mountains straddling the UAE and Oman border. This region is known for its extreme temperature swings (55°F in the early morning caught me off guard, with the day peaking in the high 90s) and some of the harshest terrain imaginable. From endless stretches of desert sand to jagged rock climbs and nerve-wracking steep descents, what a ride...

My 4Runner took it all in stride. The crawl control was put through its paces on some truly insane trails, and I came away amazed at how capable this vehicle is.
