CT Wheelin' 12-10-05
This trip was with a "cousin" forum of ours, http://www.ne4roc.org/

Paine Hill, Union, CT 12-10-05

I found out that these guys didn't think the 4th Gen. could run with the older 4Runners and Tacos- needless to say, I put them in their place I didn't need to be pulled out of or over ANYTHING, while MANY of them needed it at least once in the day . . . .
If any of you live in New England or close by and want to do some wheelin', let me know, because they are a good group of guys . . .

That looks like a blast! Way to get out and get some good PR for the 4th gens.

These Nitto Terra Grapplers are great! I only aired down to 20 psi because I got scared I'd lose the bead :bonk:

http://ne4roc.org/videos/CIMG2225.AVI

http://ne4roc.org/videos/CIMG2227.AVI

http://ne4roc.org/videos/CIMG2232.AVI

Here are some good videos . . . .

The first video shows a first gen. 4Runner that got hung up on the wash out, had to get pulled out backwards, then finally got through (the video only shows him getting through).

The second shows the same 1st gen. pulling another 1st gen. through the same washout.

Last, you can see me get through without the need for tow straps
(Listen to the comments!)

Thanks for the videos, Lee.

That looks like a ton of fun! I love the last video. I wish we had that much snow here. They really didn't think you were going to make it up that bank. Way to represent the 4th Gen's ksneubec!

I catch crap all the time from my JEEP buddies. Then everyone else just says: "I'd never do that with a brand new 4Runner!" Those Nitto's look great. I'll hopefully getting a set this month or early January. I can't wait!!

Great stuff Carl! The 4th gen is a very capable vehicle stock, with a lift and real good tires it's hard to stop!

Makes me want to go back home to CT. I lived on the Union/Stafford Springs border for 10 years myself out in the boonies/woods and have many fine memories of enjoying the 4Wheel'n opportunities. Any locals know where Roaring Brook/Crooked S Rd is? That was my stomping grounds.

Did you all grow up there? What school did you attend? I dated a gal that lived on Stickney Hill Rd (Union).

Geez~small world!

To be honest, I think I got lucky on that trail, in the back of my CJ7, when I was 17. That is why it looks familar! :o

Karl,

Great pics and videos! Nice to see you represent the 4th gens .

Driving skill has a lot to do with it as well as equipment. Good to see you putting those tires to good use.
