Yo Bro, you scored good. I wouldn't wanna get that one dirty. You deserve it Vance.

I went stock size, partly because I’m at stock height and don’t want to deal with rubbing, speedo error, change in mileage, etc. If I keep this for as long as I plan, I do hope to get a mild lift and will go bigger on tires.
I haven’t gotten off-road much to give an opinion how they do in that terrain, but they did great in snow and quiet on the highway. I now have 20K miles and wearing terrific. They aren’t the greatest in rain, but I just slow a little and they are fine.
Hi, first post here. Been lurking a little while now, just checking out the setups and reading up on the adventures. This is my 2018 ORP 4Runner I picked up new last October, ready for a camping trip with the family. Mods are limited at an ARB diff breather, Gobi ladder, and 76" x 49" Rhino Rack Pioneer Platform with backbone system.

Sweet looking ride and welcome to the thread. Nice to see you taking the family on a camping adventure! Feel free to keep the pics coming.Hi, first post here.

Congrats! Looks like you're good to go. Eager to hear about your first off road adventure in it...
They work pretty good offroad and are very quiet on road. I had these tires on my 2500HD GMC before I got the 4Runner.
I drove it out to Wiseman's View near Linville Gorge a couple weeks after I bought it. Nothing super technical on the unpaved road you take to get up there, but I wouldn't want to be the guy I saw in the civic coming back down. Poor fella looked miserable. Very quiet once you get to the gorge overlook, very spooky.
At the end of the stairs is the gorge itself. Couldn't see it that day, could only hear the river rushing by.
I also have a four day camping/fishing trip planned for Portsmouth Island the first of August. Really looking forward to that.
Lanlubber, that's a beautiful area and your new rig looks right at home in it. I don't get to see much of that out here in the Sonoran Desert. I recently deployed to the area around Yuma, AZ and am looking to do the Arizona Peace Trail. If anybody has info on that I'd appreciate it. It sounds like fun. Hard to believe as much as I get out in other parts of the state, I had never heard of it before.

Thank you Prez, The Sonoran desert is a beautiful place to roam. It's a shame all Americans don't get out of the cities and enjoy the wonders the USA offers. I hear people all the time say "OH I want to go to France, of Greece". I always say to myself "WHY". Keep your money here and visit the beautiful places the USA has to offer. The outdoors is a great place to be and see and enjoy. You sound very appreciative of your place in life and environment. I hope you get a chance to see even more while traveling with your units around the country or countries. I think every young man and woman should spend at least two years in the armed forces. They give you great insight of the world and your place in it. I too have never heard of the peace trail, must see it or travel it some day and will put it on my list of places to go (in the winter)!

2016 Trail premium, haven't added anything other than a snatch strap, hard and soft shackles and recovery boards that ride in the back during beach trips. It's been very capable on the dunes of South Padre Island, have yet to need any recovery gear.

Where in S. Texas are you ? Trying to figure out how close we are. The picture didn't turn out well, the front end doesn't show. Maybe you can do it again please. Thanks, Lanlubber

Where you located? I'm currently slowing down my build to try and help my little brother (16) purchase his first vehicle. He fell in love with my runner so if at all possible i would like to try and help him.
