Closer to the east bay and I'm in!

@stoney126 figured but 1 year away is too far!

Looks like a blast. Bummed we missed out. Any future trips planned?

To be fair I had this trip report done already over on expedition portal few months ago. Thought I'd share

5th Leg: Colorado Springs The destination for the trip was Colorado Springs, where my wife’s oldest brother lives. Her other brother from Illinois was coming out too. Strapped up all the cargo and ready to go: Didn’t really do much except hang out and explore downtown Colorado Springs...

4th Leg: Ouray I’d say this drive was the best of the trip. The scenery crossing into Colorado left me speechless. My wife and I agree, Colorado has the best clouds. Visited the hot springs And did a few trail runs. These are from Engineers Pass

All in all the trail was what I was hoping for and more. The scenery is like no other. Literally out of the world. I mentioned a few times to my wife, that some of the views seemed like a different planet. This trail is a must do. Negatives to the trail was the HOT weather and the...

Woke up the next morning, cooked up some bacon, eggs, and pancakes for the kids, and headed back onto the trail at about 9am. Our campground for the next night was a Hardscrabble B, near the river. While the scenery from this campground was awesome, there were tons of flies, and at...

After a couple hours or so on the trail we decided to break for lunch at the Airport campground. It was HOT…but the kids didn’t seem to mind. First night of camping was at White Crack, about 35 miles or so from the trail head. The campground is about 1 mile off the actual White Rim...

3rd Leg: Moab/White Rim/Arches I really enjoyed the drive to Moab. We cut across through Monument Valley at the Arizona/Utah border. We opted to not drive through Monument Valley park – the views from the highway was good enough. We arrived in Moab about 6:30PM, it was HOT…104 degrees I...

1st Leg: Joshua Tree The first leg of our trip took us to Joshua Tree. We had originally planned to stay one night in Mojave, mainly to break up the long drive for the kids. In the end we decided to make the first leg to Joshua Tree and stay 2 nights; my sister and her family were staying in...

Oakland – Joshua Tree – Grand Canyon – Moab – White Rim – Ouray – Colorado Springs – Sandy – Truckee – Oakland… This is a trip I’ve been wanting to do…but as usual life gets in the way. Circumstances aligned this time – my wife and I were able to take off 3 weeks from work, my oldest just...

@administrator thanks! I'd recommend upgrade on the suspension first. The stock suspension is quite soft and it has a bit of a nose down stance, im guessing for mileage purposes.

Hey all...officially joined the group a few days ago after seeing a beat up 80 with Overland Bound stickers on it in my neighborhood...j/k it's a sweet rig! Here's my family station wagon, 2008 4runner
