  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    I forgot to mention earlier I had Tein Type HG gravel coil overs, which I was able to get a few more inches of lift out of, and Primitive Racing front and rear skid plates in addition to RL-7 rally wheels. It was pretty beefy but not like some of the Forester builds I've seen here. I still did...

    Camp Photos!

    It was fantastic, maybe our best trip there yet. My friend saw/surprised 4 brown bears on Saturday evening along the M6 on the way back to Pillsbury. One adult, and later two cubs with mom who turned around and stood on her back legs to look at Scott's truck before high tailing it off the road...

    Camp Photos!

    We were back in Mendocino National Forest this last weekend too! Although we criss-crossed the forest through a lot of scarcely visited areas we camped in some easy places. Deer Valley Campground again: We almost made it to Plaskett Meadows Campground but had to turn back just 2 miles away...

    Going to tour Big Sur in two weeks

    You're going to have a great trip! It might even be a bit more quiet than normal with HWY 1 blocked. : )

    Too simple to sleep in my 5th Gen 4Runner?

    Its a work in progress, handle will come some day : ) The elevated area in the back is necessary to fit over the folded down rear seats for the flat sleeping surface. It could have been maybe a half inch lower but I wanted the drawer to fit my camp stove. The space below is always really handy.

    What was your first vehicle you took exploring.

    I had such a good time with my '02 WRX. It did pretty well at triple duty auto-crosser, forest explorer and track toy. Back then they didn't offer BFGs in car sizes so I had to carry a set of hard compound gravel rally tires and change them in and out at the edge of the woods.

    Too simple to sleep in my 5th Gen 4Runner?

    That's and interesting idea making your sleeping platform out of rigid insulation. I wonder if that would work? Here's some pics of my sleeping arrangement, maybe they'll give you some ideas. The rear portion is kept in place with some shackles on the cargo D-rings. The front portion rides...

    Suspension Help - 4Runner

    Well, I'm not really suggesting anything. I just wanted to clarify the differences of the various suspensions. : ) EDIT: ok, I suggest KDSS so you can lift if you want to later on. I liked what BrewsterII mentioned about driving it for 6 months to figure out whats going to be right for you...

    Suspension Help - 4Runner

    TRD Pro and TRD Offroad both have locking rear diffs, crawl control, and terrain select- but different philosophies around their suspensions. Inside however they are the same (as long as you're getting the TRD Offroad Premium). The TRD Pro has the (old school/purist) factory long travel...

    hitting up alabama hills

    Try to get there before too late if you can. We arrived around 6:45pm on a Saturday and had to hunt around for a little bit to find a nice spot to camp. There's a campground on the way up to Whitney Portal, but it looked a bit exposed to the wind (?). If the road to Whitney Portal is open yet...

    1st Gen 4runner

    Yodaman in Santa Rosa works on most Toyota trucks but they seem to be especially popular with older models like the 4runner 1st gen. http://www.yodaman.net/

    3 days off where to go!? 04/27-04/29

    I know its north of Hwy 80, but have you thought about the Mendocino National Forest? They have many different campsites around the forest and this early in the season you'd easily be able to find a place all by yourself. https://www.fs.usda.gov/mendocino
