Yes. Just a 40 minute drive.

Hey guys,

Just some updates on location. We had two options, a private ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, and the Wildomar OHV area.

Unfortunately, we can't do Wildomar. Cleveland Forest has had some closures weather and fire closures lately, and the Park Service won't keep any OHV area in CA open if they issue one. We can't risk not having a location on the live day, so we had to go with the private ranch.

I highly recommend checking out Wildomar if you get the chance. Here's a link to more info: Cleveland National Forest - Wildomar OHV Area The "Bad Idea Trail" is legendary.

Since it's private land, that also means we can't open the event up to the public (insurance issues and all that). Bummer, I know, but there's still going to be some awesome off-roading for your viewing pleasure.

I can't wait for you guys to tune in to see Andy and Rutledge. Keep your questions coming and let me know if there's anything I can do to help you Keep It Wild.

Don't forget to tune in on 1/23!

Made an account just for this. I was at the dealership a few weeks ago getting my 3rd gen serviced and almost walked out with the new 4Runner. I love the new design! Im holding out hoping a diesel will someday make its way into the 4Runner and brought state side...

Hey 4Runner Fans,

Thank you for all your amazing questions and participation in the live Hangout today. It was a wild! In case you missed the live broadcast today with Andy Bell and Rutledge Wood, you can check it out here, uncut:



We answered about 5 more off-air (coming soon), but there are some pretty gnarly demos in here.

I'd love to know your favorite moments or questions that the guys answered. We'll do a cut-down with the best moments and new questions.

Keep It Wild,

So basicly, they tested this on a forestry dirt type trail. Not to much of a challenge for any suv.

Did like the new setup of speed control DAC and the climb control, and the manual shift transfer case.

I still think it would be cool to have a Toyota Sponsored event where they ask 4Runner owners to bring their 4Runner out for an epic group picture that would be featured on their website, or even a Toyota Owners Commercial "Join our community" or something along those lines.

Well... Someone brought another new SUV up there and we had to tow it out. I won't name names, so you'll have to guess. It rhymes with cheap.

That tight turn for KDSS was a tough one though. It's hard to tell from far away, but those boulders were pretty big.
