On the way up to the top of Los Pinos Peak (4800 ft) in the San Diego Mountains.
Continuing on towards the Espinoza Trail with Corte Madera Mountain in the background.
Due to an usually wet winter and a lot of soil erosion, the descent part of Espinoza Trail going into the canyon south of Corte Madera became increasingly rutted, rocky, overgrown, narrow, and difficult. The Rhino got its full "pinstriped suit" before the height of the rocks sticking out of one of the creek beds forced us to head back up the way we came.

[MENTION=164884]Presa Canario[/MENTION] is that Mineral Creek Trail? If so, did you went up from highway 550? I remember this was a bit challenging with the 2-doors Wrangler I rented in Ouray.

This was off of 550 on Canyon Creek up to Yankee Boy Basin. Trail was pretty easy until you got to the Yankee Boy/Govenor split. After that it was a little sketchy. I made it all the way to the end where they had stopped plowing the trail.

Out by the Salt River tubing area
I really dig the stance on your 4Runner. So weird to me how sometimes 2" rear springs make the car look absurdly tall with a huge wheel gap, even with 275/285 tires, but sometimes it looks perfect. I know you've got a less-than-standard tire size but it looks like the wheel gap and tire size is perfect!

I did not want 285's and I did not want a "E" load range tire. That does not leave a lot of options. I also wanted them to be able to completely tuck in the fender wells when off-roading. I'm running 255/75's, but if I could find some 255/80's I think it would be perfect.

Still an LT tire though. And of course there is the Cooper ST Maxx/Mastercraft CXT.
As said, that is the road going up toward Yankee Boy Basin, looking back down toward Ouray. The Mineral Point road is considerably more narrow and rough than that. I went up Mineral Point last fall with the '06 and had no trouble (traction control kicked in in a place or two) but a guy in an F150 that I waited for at a rough spot sounded like a car crusher going through. He must have scraped every bottom surface he had. Think it was more driver than vehicle, though.
