4Runners in scenic places

Exploring the fire roads north of Santa Clarita. This was a few miles up 5N24, Coarse Gold Road.

Photoshop in some pine/cedar/redwood groves, a river, drop the temp 50°, and this would be a perfect view.

In the meantime, its "scenic" enough for a local off-pavement getaway.

Yes right up Whitney portal road. Several magnificent rock formations. Old west movie shoot sights and trails galore. I only spent an hour there on the way home from donner lake bit I will go back for sure.

T4r up on Tyee Mountain with Tyee Lookout visible. Was playing with my new drone and this was the first real 4wheeling I have done in the new 4runner.

Corral Canyon OHV park East of San Diego, CA

Had a great time out on the Corral Canyon trails today! Got lots of desert striping on Fionna! Jake the golden retriever puppy loved all of the rock gardens and deep ruts. Also, I tested out my new Kings setup. 2.5" all around with remote reservoirs and Dirt King UCAs. There was slight rubbing on the reservoir hose but after a quick hose clamp adjustment everything was good to go. I loved Gunslinger and would love to make more runs if anyone wants to go!!!

I'm not sure you all can understand the depression I often feel seeing your pictures, then looking at your location - From Seattle, Oregon, anywhere PNW, to SoCal, out to UT, AZ, CO......you have endless, WIDE OPEN places to explore, get off the main road, and get lost.

Up here in the Northeast it just seems incredibly limited compared to ya'll. My buddy has a lake house up in the Adirondacks which are gorgeous, but still very closed-in.

I just really appreciate seeing the opportunities you have out West, and I'm glad you take advantage of them!

How do you like the Kings??! Are you going to go with different wheels / tires anytime?

I put 10,000+ miles on my stock suspension before the Kings upgrade and honestly I cannot get enough of them! I installed them myself on a Saturday and that night I was finding things in my town to drive over and onto, to get a gauge of how the feel was compared to the stock parts. They're pretty amazing. My tires were upgraded from Dunlop 265s to BFGoodrich A/T KO2s 275/70/17 E at 8,000+ miles. There has been zero issue with the new tires rubbing. They give me a lot more grip on trails and look BOSS. The folks over @TotalAutomotivePerformance really hooked it up. I spoke with Richard and he knew exactly the type of driving conditions I would encounter and what I needed to go with the Kings. If and when you get the Kings make sure to adjust the height of them before installing! [MENTION=139709]Quebec[/MENTION] did a great post about how to adjust the shocks to the height you desire. However, like I said in my post there was slight rubbing. Just make sure you install the reservoirs in their proper place (tightly) you'll be fine. I highly recommend them. Fionna is my daily driver and I commute around 60ish miles a day on the 15 here in SD. The suspension couldn't be smoother. I also removed my sway bar for more articulation, feel, etc out on the trails and there has been zero issues on the highway with too much roll.

All of that being said I live by the motto of better to have and not need than to need and not have. If you can swing the cash for Kings DO IT and cry later while you're enjoying a great suspension!!!

Happy Trails!
