There are several of us here in Minnesota. Just had 8 Toyotas out wheeling last weekend at Gilbert!

Yo, If you ever need a hand with anything PM me. I live slightly east of Elk River. I know you posted this a while ago, but I have been (and still am in ) Afghanistan. Get back sometime in October. Maybe for good, maybe for a few weeks.......but I digress.

The offer is out there, if you need a hand i'd love to help. Plus......I have good connections for shops if you wish to work on the vehicle yourself or need a professional.

Also my good friend lives off 169th In Maple Grove, i'm down there quite a bit.

I've been a long time member and lurker. Created a new name because I forgot everything about my old name. I saw a black 3rd gen yesterday on Grand Ave in STP with a 3" or so lift.

I'm from right here in the Twin Cities. I'm currently driving my 3rd 3rd gen, but my first highlander edition. Still stock height. Debating on whether or not to lift it

Hey guys,

Another local, currently i live in uptown so i have a true (urban runner)

Anyhow i have had it for a couply months now i have added a few items to it such as 2010 sr5 wheels, 32s, tranny cooler and what not. Im still trying to get use to how slow these trucks are i have always had sports cars before.

Im down to go wheeling almost anytime that my schedule allows so PM if there is a group going out.

Slides,

I live just south of Uptown down by Harriet, and also have an UR. What color is yours? I've seen a White one out in Minnetonka by where I work..

You gotta love these urban runners i have seen a guy who lives around this area who has a white xterra w/ a snorkel, roof top tent, wheels, bumper etc. He puts us to shame haha anyhow mine is silver, i live at 31st and Emerson right now but moving later this week. I work in EP and moving back there for a few months.

I think I have seen that guy too.....I like the Xterra just too small for me! Ive seen a limited around Hopkins with a Shockworks front bumper...

It would be great to go offroading somewhere but the closet place thats decent seems to be the iron range up by gilbert.

I think more this summer/spring im going to make a trip up there with one of my buddies who has a wrangler and see what its like.

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in a couple of years. Just got my new 2013 4runner limited, all stock equipment. Taking a road trip with my wife to Munising, MI (AP), then cutting across from there to Apostles Island, WI, looking for some ideas on where I can do some off roading...any ideas?

Well I spent my college years in Houghton, MI. There were lots of trails in that area although I was not involved with 4x4 at that time. In general there will be plenty of forest service roads and gravel roads in the UP, exact location of trails I can not help you with (sorry). One comment make sure to check MI ORV rules, I moved to the Twin Cities from Lower MI and when I was there we had to have ORV permits, not sure how out of state residents are treated.

Well I was searching and came across this thread, Just picked up my 4runner and after looking around it seems there isn't much to do around here. Is there a club that does anything around the area or any private land to go to?

Hey everyone. Just found this section. It is good to see there are a couple more of us out there. I got my 4Runner about a year ago. So far OME low lift and making sure all the maintenance items are current. Loving the vehicle though and have ideas for the future. I am more of an overlanding style guy as opposed to a hard core off roading person. For my experience exploring the backwoods of our native forests are what I enjoy.
I am in the south end of the cities. I see a black 4th gen lifted, rims, bumper parked at an insurance place in Apple Valley. Anyone on here? One day I'll stop and say Hi cuz it is a pretty sweet looking rig.

Hello fellow Twin Cities 4Runner owners... Just picked up my second 4Runner on Monday at Burnsville: 2015 Trail Premium in silver. I've already replaced the wheels with the TRD Pro wheels and wrapped them in 275/70/17 BF Goodrich T/A K02 tires. I'm loving the combination! I'm already eyeing a Baja Rack, CBI Industries bumper with swing out spare and jerry can holders, on board air, suspension enhancements (undecided), ARB Fridge, storage, and lighting. Ultimately I'd like to do some of the tamer Moab trails this fall and of course the powder this winter.

I've put the stock wheels and tires on Craigslist, let me know if you're interested! Hope to meet some of you folks in the near future.

Still have them?

Just bought my first 4Runner (Trail, red) in September - some buddies and I went on a hunting trip to Montana and took the mom wagon (RAV) up some trials it probably shouldn't have been up, so I decided to upgrade. Haven't done any mods yet, but wheels and tires, roof rack, and so on are definitely on the list. Frankly, right now I'm just happy to have a vehicle that isn't going to get its a** kicked when I take it out roaming.

Still trying to mettle through what order to buy everything. Most of what I use it for will be to get in and out of hunting areas loaded with camping gear - serious rock crawling probably isn't in my future.

Anyway - thought I'd say 'hi' as I live in the south metro; bought my truck from Burnsville too.
