9 days & 1,200 miles - 3 National Parks, 9 National Forests, 12 Wilderness Areas, and 16 Mountain Passes

:neat: I really enjoyed Mesa Verde. I feel that it often gets overlooked when people visit Colorado. Really cool place. You can really "feel the ghosts" of the original inhabitants. I don’t think it’s necessarily overlooked, it’s just so fucking far from anything major. It’s all The Hills...

9 days & 1,200 miles - 3 National Parks, 9 National Forests, 12 Wilderness Areas, and 16 Mountain Passes

I thought you guys would appreciate our write up from our Tour of Colorado. It was 9 days and 1,200 miles across 1 State, 3 National Parks, 9 National Forests, 12 Wilderness Areas, and 16 Mountain Passes while camping out of the 4Runner. It's too much info to recompile it here, so links are below. T...

Dat 4Runner Life Doe - Adventures in a T4R

With the career change a handful of months ago I've been going a little stir crazy without all the traveling. I found a last minute huge discount deal on a trip to Cancun so we pulled the trigger. Bought it on a Tuesday, left that Sunday. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51881135975_a0e7f2ccda_c....

Dat 4Runner Life Doe - Adventures in a T4R

I rebuilt the axle with fresh boots and grease via an OEM kit from the dealer and finally removed the sway bar completely since it’s not a daily anymore.

Well that happened sooner than expected. The tires on this thing are in good shape but fuckin horrendous in the snow. The worst all season I’ve ever driven on snow. Time for some Michelin Cross Climate 2 all weathers and some wheels. I’m thinking maybe Konig Hexiforms. 16s or 17s? They came with 16...

The irony is that since it’s not a daily anymore I was going to ditch the sway bar completely I just hadn’t gotten to it yet. Not I get to do a boot and clean up.

The 4Runner went on strike when I bought the Vibe as a daily. The forged sway bar end links didn’t even make it a year before snapping off clean and stuffing the sway bar into the CV. So much or aftermarket “upgrades”

Check out OEM+ audio or taco tunes The premium audio is kinda bullshit, there’s 2 levels of premium audio. One comes with a subwoofer, one doesn’t.

Wheels are amazingly clean. They aren’t curbed up or stained from brake dust, the tires have about 5K miles on them, a decent set of Continentals. I figured since you're revamping the entire suspension you may want to throw on a set of lightweight wheels/tires. Historically I put snows on OEM wheel...
