5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Went up to Four Peaks starting off the 87 freeway and then on our way back down we went down the route that leads to highway 188. Then we got off on route 88 at the Roosevelt Dam and drove to Apache Lake. I found out that the 88 (dirt road between Canyon lake and Apache lake) is closed because of a landslide a couple years back that Arizona isn’t fixing (even private companies offered to use their equipment and they were told no). Anyways then drove to Globe and back home. It was a great adventure.

 

Enjoyed reading about your trip. Looks like you both had fun.

I appreciate the feedback. I love doing landscape photography and pictures of cars and such. It is such a blessing to have a 4Runner where I can take pictures of these magnificent views.

I really need to check out AZ some day.

 

Very cool. Can you tell us more about your visit, such as how many days you were there, lodging, crowds, trails, etc. I’m planning on a trip there this year. Thx.

 

We were there for 4 days which is not enough. I have not memorized the name of the places we've been, so I will "circle back" with you on that after I clean the runner and do all my laundry ... meanwhile, I enjoyed making circles, while the kids made snow man ...

 

Haha, that’s great fun! Did you turn off TRAC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control in order to do that?

 

I turned off the one on the far left, I think it's traction control

 

Good times

 

Press and hold that button then do circles

 

Thanks Grant

 

That’s the one, to turn off TRAC. And as @ruiz4251 said if you press and hold it (for 3 seconds) it turns off VDC and trailer sway functions. You can get more donut action!

 

last snowfall

 

now its time for the yaks

 

As scenic as it gets with a whole lot of ‘Murca freedom delivery vehicles in the background

 

What pier is that?

 

Here I go again

Four Peaks area

 

How was it? You have fun?

 

The ride down to Suagoro Lake was beautiful but the drive back was long. We found good campsites on side roads. I rode my mountain bike up to the peaks 3 times about 20 years ago. I was obviously studly. It was a long tough ride on a bike. Btw, we are doing box canyon near Florence Junction Sunday morning if you are interested.

 

I would but I might have to hit you up next weekend or something. My 4Runner is going into the shop on Monday for a re-gear and front/rear lockers. I just had fun removing my skid plates tonight with the nuts losing their welds.

 

Nuts losing their weld?

 

Yeah I have it posted here:
