Until then, I guess I'll be somewhat ready if the SHTF.
What I really need to find is places/people around here who know 4R's and can help me install stuff and teach me things.
Good to hear I'm not the only guy up here in the Tundra!

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

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.

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.

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.
