    Growing up I had my parents 00’ 2wd 4r and always said I’d get one of my own but with 4wd so I can go everywhere. The day is finally here!

    I just got a 24’ trd orp with kdss. can anyone recommend some good shops that work with offroad vehicles or a lot of 4Runners near the Central Valley?Thanks for any recs you can share!

    You might update your profile with your location. Central Valley...Tehachapi, is that Central Valley?

    Wiki defines central valley:
    "The Central Valley is a broad, elongated, flat valley that dominates the interior of California. It is 40–60 mi wide and runs approximately 450 mi from north-northwest to south-southeast, inland from and parallel to the Pacific coast of the state.
    ...
    The valley encompasses all or parts of 18 California counties: Butte, Colusa, Glenn, Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, Placer, San Joaquin, Sacramento, Shasta, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Tulare, Yolo and Yuba."

    That's something like 18,000 - 27,000 square miles?

    Sorry, I’m in Tulare County. Basically between Fresno to Bakersfield! Tehachapi is a little further than Bakersfield is from me.

    Good call picking out the 24 TRD ORP w/KDSS before it’s too late! Welcome to the forum!
