Toyota 4Runner Forum - Largest 4Runner Forum - "I'm Stuck and Need Help!" T4R Contact Thread

@hrt4me suggested starting a thread like this.

I will update this post for anyone who would like to be a contact for other members who need assistance if they are stuck or in 4x4 trouble on a trail. I'll keep it alphabetized for ease.

Just post your username and where you're located, what recovery equipment you have (winch, locker, strap, etc), and/or assets you may have.

I'm keeping a phone number database as well so they aren't posted publicly on the internet (unless you request it to be posted in this thread). If you would like your phone number added to the list, shoot me a PM.

Members who need help, send a PM to those closest to your location and hope for quick response or send me a PM for a phone number. If anyone has any recommendations on how to better organize this thread feel free to let me know.

Thanks!
