I know there's gotta be some guys in the TC area with 4Runners..

I seen a black 3rd gen Highlander at the Edina Super Target with what looks like about a 3" lift... other than that I haven't really seen many lifted 4Runners around.

Seen a nice blacked lifted 4th gen leaving the Walser Toyota in Bloomington this week..

Not many from MN on here..........

aint that the truth!

2003 4runner with over 200000 miles on it! This truck has been the best...So I gave some extras... just added the toytec ult 3" lift locking rearend and some KM2 285/70X17 tires Twin Cities area.. Now I need some good place to go try it out.

Hey Guys,

I can finally say I am a T4R owner! There are only a few others here in Northfield. I pulled the trigger on a 5th gen limited man is it sweet.

I got the bigger AT tires installed before leaving the Toyota City Brooklyn Park dealership - thanks to Dana B.! He's the best sales person around.
Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275/60R20. Now I will never get stuck hauling back to my deer stand!

I drove straight to my guy in Northfield for the 2-2.5 inch suspension upgrade & lift with Bilstein 5100s x 4.

Even my lady likes climbing up into it!

Hope to see you all on the road,

Cat 85

Anyone have any feedback on the off road spots up north?

Any recommendations for a place to go check out for a beginner?

Here is the mn map that links to public off road vehicle sites.
OHV trail locations map: Minnesota DNR

You'll notice there are only 2 in MN that allow ORV (off road vehicle, as in 4R, Jeep, etc.).

One is the Gandy Dancer, basically a gravel road. Lots of stop signs, farms, houses.

Two is in Gilbert. Haven't been there yet but it looks like the best bet for "off roading".

Best bet may be to head up to the UP. Most of the trails there allow ORV use as well as ATV. MN limits most of the trails to ATV only.

Wife and I just bought an '87 SR5 for under $600. First time out in the woods today, needs some work but amazing truck (considering the front end wont lock ) If you find anywhere good to go in MN let us know! We are up in Brainerd area and just took it on some back trails in Barrows.

Honestly I'm not entirely sure... Of course the upcoming TRD supercharger sounds fun- but that's not out yet and I'm not sure if I want/need the extra power. Here's the list of what I've done or am thinking about getting done:

-Toyota OEM running board: on order
-Tonneau cover for cargo area: on order
-Auto Vent Shade Brand bug deflector: on order
-Viper iPhone powered remote start / security: probably will install soon
-Weathertech floor mats and cargo mat
-Tint for front windows
-CB radio Cobra 75 WX ST and FireStick antennae
-Dual battery setup for "house" power
-Rack: OEM or Yakima cross bars, or Baja / Gobi rack?
-Exterior lighting?
-Lift?

I'd like to not go too overboard for warranty purposes. Suggestions and feedback definitely welcome! What do you recommend?

I guess it depends on where you plan on taking it. I would ditch the running boards for rock sliders if you ever intend on taking it off road what so ever. A supercharger certainly would be awesome, as are the new remote starts!

hello, I have a 2001 4runner with some stuff done to it. I'm located in Little Canada. this winter I'm working on a frame swap and would love so people to go off-roading with me when I'm done.

also, does anybody have good recommendations for winch bumpers?

thanks!

For those looking for trails Spider Lake in Pine City has some good ones. We ATV there but often see some pretty big rigs. I just installed an awning for the summer on my white ‘17. Usually in the Woodbury area.

Hmmm.... maybe I should ask the dealership to cancel the running boards and put that money towards some TRD wheels or something else? Any recommendations? (Already paid the inflated OEM price for the running boards)

thats a tough call but I'm sure you could find something to spend the money on...
