Chelsea (Ann Arbor)

Would love to hit up some trails with other 4Runners. Should be going to Bundy at least a few times this season and hopefully some other places too like Mounds or Rocks and Valleys. Would be awesome to get up to Drummond but it's a lot of gas.. lol

My rig and I up in Grayling, MI.

Hello,

My name is Robert Tam and I work at the Toyota Technical Center (TTC) located in Saline, MI. TTC is the headquarters for Toyota's North American Design and Research. We design and evaluate North American vehicles such as the Sienna, Avalon, Camry, Tundra, Tacoma, and Venza.

Every year we have a company wide car show for our team members to show off their personal cars.

This year, we'd like to extend an invitation to the local car clubs/forums to come and join us for the car show as a show of appreciation. Due to space limitations, we will be selecting 5 vehicles from each Toyota brand (Toyota/Scion/Lexus).

The car show will be held on Friday, July 20th at our facility from 11:00am - 1:00pm. Lunch will be provided, several cars will be on display, and we will have the Toyota m&m Nascar Racecar there as well as Nascar driving simulations. You will also have the opportunity to meet the actual engineers that design the many Toyota's you see on the road today as well as chief engineers and vice presidents. Entrants will also be eligible to win a trophy.

If you are interested in attending the show, please send me a pm with your email address. I will then send you an email and ask for a picture of your car and a list of any modifications / additional info. Our committee will then choose the 5 vehicle's and notify the respective owners.

Thank you and hope meet some of you soon!

Rob (96 SR5, Tundra coils w/ spacer front, OME HD Sprins rear, OME shocks all around, custom sliders, 1" body lift, 285 Dueler Revo's)

Rob, does the TTC has any organized trail rides? My name is Souhel and I live in Saline 2 miles away from the TTC.

Not too much going on in Michigan, eh?

I live in Indianapolis, but we're up at our place near Traverse City a few times a year. Anyone from the area? Seems like a likely spot to 4x4s.....

Oh, and is my rust free 1995 Runner doomed to rust away within a year?

Kinda worried about truck-rot.

I just got my 4R in early July. I wouldn't mind doing simple trails, but there don't seem to be any down here near St. Joseph.
We're going camping in the Traverse City area soon, and I know there are some up there, though.
The truck is bone-stock, so two-track is all I'm comfortable with.

I'm in Traverse City, hit me up if you are coming up. I don't know a whole lot of areas yet but I know a couple good two-tracks that you shouldn't have any issues with in a stock Runner. If you do, I have a tow strap. ;)

That goes for anyone in or coming to Traverse city or surrounding area. I am always looking to go out and have some fun. Would be nice to find someone that knows more spots than me, but I know a few good trails in the power lines area that can be fun. A few hills, lots of sand, lots of woods.

Thanks for the offer!
I'll be up there with my family to do some camping this Friday-Tues. (9/12-16). We're camping at the KOA in Buckley. My father-in-law--and maybe our boys--might want to hit some trails while the moms go shopping.

That would be awesome! I live 3 miles from Munson hospital, so not far over there at all. Message me if you guys have time and want to go out on some trails.
