5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

It's great used it for the first time today. Went on a 4 hour drive on the highway today, no rattle whatsoever that I heard. The hitch pin screws in to eliminate rattle. It has a super tight fit if you tighten the pin all the way down

 

But its a hell of a good workout and the view from the top is rewarding! I also work in wind

 

What do you think of the Ironman awning? Did you by chance buy their awning quick release hooks?

 

I really like my Ironman. But will be ordering a 270* awning in the near future for more coverage.

 

I like the ironman awning it seems to be high quality. The led light strip is a nice touch. I got the smallest one since I have a 3/4 roof rack. Easy set up and tear down. I did not get the quick release brackets. Got mine on sale for pretty cheap. Just wait to get one until they have a sale, there seems to be one all the time lol

Last day of living in California before we move cross country. Ran down Mattole Rd on the Lost Coast and took the dogs out to an abandoned section of beach.

 

Always wanted to visit the Lost Coast.

One day.....

Safe travels to the new homestead

 

Thanks. Be a nice 3 day or long 2 day trip. You can run 1 all the way up until it veers away from the ocean on its final run to Leggett... then turn north on Usal Rd and enjoy 26 miles of rough dirt. Spits you out near Shelter Cove and from there you can explore all the dirt tracks in the King Range. Go further north on Mattole, check out the zebras roaming Petrolia...etc etc. Camping at Usal Beach and several BLM campgrounds in the King Range.

 

Thanks! We're heading up that way in September. I'll keep these directions

 

Happy trails, MeefZah. Keep us posted on your progress.

 

You don’t see the 4Runner in the picture but it took me close to this point (required me to actually get out of the drivers seat though and hike a little):

 

not as scenic as most pics but took a trip from nCal to huntington beach for 4 days and san diego for 3 days..

pics are when I gassed up and grabbed some in & out, lol..one at the hotel..

 

Ha, just noticed ... squirrel


As far as scenic, here’s one from this 4th of July….Ruby Marsh

 

and another from GBNP (Mt Wheeler, the one on the right, is the highest mtn in Nevada)

 

Sunset Beach,OR

 

forgot to post these here from a few weekends ago. huffing around forest service roads around the Mt. Baker forest.

 

The old iron Furnace in Boiling Springs, PA. I was there to fish the Yellow Breeches. I'm back in PA for a few weeks to help my parents recover from surgery. 1700 miles from my
house in CO to Mom and Dad's place. I averaged 27.7 mpg 'cuz it's all downhill from Denver. Kidding. I don't care what my gas mileage is.

 

We have season passes to Grandfather Mountain, near Linville, North Carolina, so we are there weekly.

Thank you very much. It cost me enough

 

Took the 4Runner out and went to Uwharrie here in N.C. We went on a night run. 2am and just getting in bed. Trail has some slick spots today for sure. Hit skid plates, went through puddles, went through deep tracks, got clay all over the car and under the hood, etc. Turned on all 3 lockers (front, center, rear) on multiple occasions. Put the ARB dual compressor to work helping fill up 9 tires. It was so much fun. Anyways below is the only picture I got. I have 1 video but don’t want to upload to YouTube. I didn’t get a recording of going through the deep mud tracks but the below picture is just after.

 

Nice! I know that area well, as I lived in Boone for several years. We’re actually headed up there this weekend!

 

Crowley Lake, Ca.

 

Three wheeling on FM TRO at Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls, TX.

 

Love the Sierra

 

Bound for North Rim Grand Canyon

 

Have fun Kevin. That would be an awesome trip. We wanted to take the kids before we left but never had time.

 

About 7 hours from Phoenix, but we are spending a week there exploring

 

The camper you have is sweet. Love that it matches your 4Runner. Enjoy exploring that will be one fun adventure

 

Weekend trip to Sedona this past weekend. It was raining and had cooler weather. The lightning storm at night put on a great light show.
