    I took the 4Runner out for a short snowy drive in mid-December, which was fun but just about any vehicle would've made it. I feel bad for the guy's that bought brand new snowmobiles this year. <a data-flickr-embed="true"...

    Thanks for checking in! I've had so much going on that I haven't even come around here in quite a while. My daughter's school went to remote learning around Thanksgiving so I've been working full time and trying to home school my daughter too. Luckily she went back a couple weeks ago! Not to...

    A couple weeks ago Volcom and I made plans to run Holy Cross on a Saturday, me in the 4Runner and him in his Polaris RZR. It was the peak of the leaves changing and the weather was supposed to be nice. Aaron was going to make a weekend out of it, so he camped Thursday night and was going to run...

    Unfortunately no, its been super dry, warm and windy which is really bad for the fires burning, luckily it's supposed to snow tonight. (Figures crossed) Yeah, that video was nuts!! I have a friend of a friend that saw it it on the tow truck, or should I say what was left of it. <a...

    Thanks Jeff, I guess?! :lmao: I kind of feel like this is the reincarnated "updated" version of the green 1st gen, there are a lot of similarities between the two. I'll have to look through some of my old pictures.

    I just mounted the tires and called it good! When I rebuilt the 4Runner I figured there was a good chance it would get 39-40" tires under it, so I made sure there was room. So far I'm really happy with it Chad! I still have a few things to address, the most import being a transfer case skid...

    After having one hell of a time dismounting the Coopers I got the KM3’s installed without an issue, probably the easiest tires I’ve mounted on my beadlocks. I didn’t bother balancing them yet, we’ll see how they do once I get them on the highway. I decided to run Webster Pass, Red Cone, and...

    It was a fun trip, but coming down one of the last obstacles I cut a sidewall, luckily I was able to make it to the lower sand wash before all the air came out. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/156493849@N03/50351159161/in/dateposted-public/"...

    A week or two later I decided to go run Chinaman's Gulch, this is a super fun trail with lots of obstacles to play on! <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/156493849@N03/50351139196/in/dateposted-public/" title="fullsizeoutput_5d4"><img...

    I guess it's time for my quarterly update! As usual I've been super busy and haven't had much time to spend on the computer, but I will try (as usual) to get everyone back up to speed. I have been trying to post some pictures on Instagram as it takes a fraction of the time vs the forum and...

    It was probably around 11,500', its even more breathtaking in person!

    I've taken the 4Runner out a few times now, mainly just working out any bugs and getting used to the new configuration. My last trip was up above Breckenridge on Middle Fork and Georgia pass, not hard but very scenic! I also set up an Instagram account, my user name is @mr.dirtco I still...

    A few pictures from my latest trip on Trough Trail. I also went and ran Wheeler Lake not too long ago, but it was super busy with people hiking and hangout out everywhere so I didn't take any pictures. <a data-flickr-embed="true"...

    I’ve been working on the 4Runner as time allows, mostly smaller projects and getting things dialed in. First on the list was making a spot to carry my trail spares and fluids, the stuff that you don’t need very often but when you need it you really need it. I went through all my stuff and...

    I took the 4Runner out in the rocks for the first time since the rebuild! I went and ran Trough Trail, which is about 40 minutes from my house. It reminds me a lot of Carnage in BV before it got washed out and super difficult (without the V-Notch and exit). I figured it would be a good test...
