Iowa 4runners
I haven't seen any activity in this section. Was wondering how many of us there are and if there are ever any meets?
Post up!

Everyone seems to be spread out pretty far. I wish we could get a wheeling group together, but it almost seems impossible!

@ yotaguy674

I go wheeling with a few jeep groups and tacoma guys. Next time I do I will post in here. Seems like not a lot of modded guys running around in Iowa. The picture is about 45 mins from Des Moines around the Knoxville area.

Hey guys!
So I might be moving out to Des Moines in march! I got a job out there but ive never been in the area and don't really know anything about it. I figured yall would be the best guys to ask about things. What all is there to do? Im coming from east Idaho and I spend most of my winters skiing but seeing that Des Moines is super flat I don't see that working out.

Welcome to the Midwest. I would agree nothing crazy for sking compared to out west. Unfortunately all we have is Sleepy Hollow for sking locally in DM. Congrats on the job, can I ask where at? Always up for meeting other 4runner owners.

I am here. I live in Des Moines area and get out wheeling about every couple months. Would like to get out more but usually have trouble finding someone to go with me. A few weeks ago I went to an event in Iowa to benefit the marine corps Toys 4 Tots program.

Well either west glenn area by Jordan Creek mall, or the downtown/east village area. I know some buddies that enjoy the beaverdale area. The John Deere plant in Ankeny or are you at the corporate offices in Urbandale? Either way its all about 15-20 mins from downtown Des Moines. The one thing I love about this city is everything is about 15-maybe 30 mins away max.

I think it's going to Ankeny. They haven't told me absolute location yet but that's where I guess it would be. I'm not a big club or bar guy but any good gyms in the area would help hahaha.
