Hey all, been lurking on here for a few days and after seeing how informative and entertaining it is, decided to join. My wife just picked up a new '19 4runner TRD. Running boards came off as soon as she got home, and we turned 500 miles in an ORP. Amazing what this can do stock. Have it now on Bilstein 5100's and 285/70/17's. Already planning on taking a trip in February to spend 4 or 5 days (or however long we need to do the loop) on the Georgia Traverse. Looking forward to learning from and talking to you all

Nice ride! I’m only about 2 hours west if you ever wanna meet up for a day of riding somewhere.
When we got our 4runner I was all excited to get it offroad a little. We found a local ORP in Steubanville, OH where my wife is from and turned 500 miles in her new truck there bone stock. But of course, they immediately closed after that and now we're having a hell of a time trying to find somewhere to go!

Yea I see the national forest is opening up, but roads/trails have not been maintained and will reopen once the work is concluded.

Will keep and eye out and message if I see something.

There's an offroad park called the Lannding that's been open. Looks to be a little over an hour east. Still fresh to the game so only have minor mods on our 4runner so far. Bilstein 5100's give us about a 2" lift and 285/70 KO2's but no winch, so it makes me skeptical to go to these places alone. However, my wife is becoming more and more open to the idea of tent camping, so that's pretty exciting lol

Thanks for the updates.

Taking the family up to the National Forest next weekend for a camping trip.

I count at least 5 members In the SW PA area, we should definitely link up once all is back to “normal”.
So there are some camping spots open? I just messaged my wife earlier saying we should go throw a tent up for the night after I get off work at 1500 tomorrow (saturday)
