    Moab Trails for Stock rigs

    Schafer Trail has some very scenic spots and is very easy. Long Canyon, Gemini Bridges, Chicken Corners as others have said. Picture of my Pro under the fallen rock on Long Canyon.

    New 5th Gen Syndrome

    From the dealership to the ranch. Got the west Texas pinstripes from the mesquite and cedar within days. I do wash and wax it once a month on average. I still like it after 4 years and 8 months.

    What else do you drive?

    Bought this 2000 Suzuki Hayabusa for my 35th birthday 20 years ago. Still runs like a scalded dog.

    Offroading

    I like a little bit of everything from moderate/hard trails outside Moab to the ranch in Southwest Texas. The 4Runner is a very competent all around vehicle.

    Did you pick your color?

    Was trying to get an Inferno in mid 2015 but the only ones around had all kinds of dealer options and were marked up way over MSRP. I kept looking then the Quicksand came out. The wife liked it and I loved it so we bought it in October 2015 just below MSRP. So, yeah I got one of my two favorite...

    Off Road Trailers Thread

    The wife and I are considering one of these: The Venturist - RunawayCampers.com Comfortably sleeps two inside but can also have a rooftop tent. Seems to be priced right as well.

    Airbag recall question

    Recall completed on my 2016 yesterday. Wife took it to the dealership. The night before, I had her read this thread so she was armed with information. Work took a little over 3 hours. She checked the dash and glove box for fitment and said there were no rattles on the way home. I also checked...

    RSG vs Shrockworks sliders

    Yes. I believe they would. I qualify this by my experience while installing their tube sliders on my daughter's 3rd gen. Tacoma. We actually lifted it off the ground with a floor jack on the sliders while trying to close a gap on one of the bolt locations. No deflection or distortion of the...

    RSG vs Shrockworks sliders

    No experience with RSG. I installed Shrockworks dimpled tread sliders a couple of weeks ago on my 2016 Pro and will be testing them in Moab in two weeks. When I ordered them they had units in stock and ready to ship. I opted for textured powder coating so that took a week. Their powder coating...

    What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

    So far, so good. I installed them by myself. I would recommend a helping hand. Had to drill one hole per side on the transmission crossmember for full strength rating. Powder coating is first rate. I opted for the textured powder coating. “Stick nuts” for some of the mounting locations can be...
