I was on a seasonal road in my area the other day that only gets plowed partly,I would have never dared going down it in my old acura or my old celica but I decided to go for it in my 4runner.The whole road was ICE and thats it,I got about half way down the road to relize the plow truck pushed a huge mound of snow into the middle of the road and was blocking my way past it.you could actually see deep rutts from where other people were there doing the same thing i was doing without so much success.Ok so i have cheap no name tires and was at a complete stop at the bottom of this seasonal all ice road.I tried backing up in 2wd NO DICE,kicked it in 4wd and to my suprise no tire spin in reverse all the way to the top of the hill.My very first "experience" with the thriller they call the "4runner".man im really starting to love this thing

I remember popping my cherry.....Just wait! The mod bug is gonna get you.

Great story! Any pics of the ride?

Oh man, I see a build thread a-comin' !

I can assure you the 4Runner DOES get stuck, hahaha.

Cool story, though.

They go thru a lot, you just have to try harder!

no pics of the ride yet and as the rust that was covered up by the previous owner starts showing up it gets uglier by the min.however I will be posting some pics soon.as far as the modding goes,Im very interested in learning the inns and outs of the 4runner but im going to wait untill i can find a decent house for rent in my area with a garage.I just figured I would post a "positive story" seeing as how most of the threads started on here have to do with problems.
