I saw a black SR5 with a lift and big tires at Clairemont Square today. Didn't get a chance to take a pic.

Spotted a silver trail on 287n in NJ by exit 26 this AM. Looked pretty much stock, however we don't see too many trails or pros here.

Saw a nice, lifted 4Runner in front of Vons today. It had a BajaRack with an ARB awning and Hi-Lift jack:

Met a dude on Friday in the parking lot at Northstar Tahoe with a really sick Super White TRD Pro with Baja utility rack, SPY lightbar & Baja ladder.
Not sure if this guy is on T4R.org or not... But sweet rig!

Good to meet you man! You've got a pretty sweet setup your self!
I actually met up with some buddies after the sesh and hit eagle lakes road on the way back to the bay and messed around in the snow
Spotted two 5th gens this morning.
a) MGM SR5 Premium(?) going down the 2 South fwy to the 110 South fwy towards Downtown L.A.
b) Another MGM SR5 Premium(?), with a Gobi rack and ladder. Stopped at the crosswalk stoplight along Hill Street in Chinatown (Los Angeles).
:sorry: ... didn't have a chance to take pics of both T4Rs (was driving)

Seems like most of you guys are out west.
I see TRD Pros alllllllll day long in Tampa/St.Pete, Orlando, and Miami. Even parked at redlights no one even acknowledges I exist. I think because I drive an SR5 they assume I'm some 2WD soccer dad, but with a TRD skid, wheels, and tires (and sliders on the way) I hope someone, someday can recognize my passion
Specifically an Inferno TRDP in Bradenton, a Cement TRDP in Ft Myers (I think he got into an accident), and like sixteen TRDPs between Miami and West Palm on I95 every day all day...

So thats where they all are. Around my way its SR5s and limiteds all day long. I've literally seen only one Pro and about three trails in the past year; no joke.

Yeah, there's quite a few out this way but very rarely will you run into someone from the forum. I was in Durango, CO this past weekend and lost count at about 20 or so 5th gens and a bunch of 3rd and 4th gens, even some sweet 1st gens but only one 5th gen had a T4R sticker and only a handful had modifications on them. Most, sadly, are driven by soccer moms and dads with no intention of using them off pavement.
The one with the T4R sticker was a 2010-13 silver TE with a plate bumper and roof rack, lift, bigger tires rolling down Main Street Sunday morning. I didn't take a picture so I wasn't going to post about it. I was in my black 4th gen at Dennys.
Back in NM, there's also quite a few 5th gens but only a couple that I know of in Albuquerque that are actually on here.
For Christmas 2014 we were in ND for a week and a half. The whole time up there I think I saw maybe 2 other 4runners total. ND definitely loves the big 3 mfgs but there is at least one 5th gen on here from up there.
It definitely varies where you go.

Weird. I would say I honest to goodness see a 2:1 ratio of TRDPs to other variants.
There were three TRD Pros in my old neighborhood alone back in Tampa. It is kind of weird.

There's at least a few TRDP 4runners in Albuquerque but none in my area. However, there's at least 5 TRDP tundras and a couple Tacomas in this small community and a bunch in abq. Yet these NM Toyota dealers can't seem to locate a TRDP tundra for me.

Lol, yea, there does seem to be a healthy representation of TRDPs in the Miami/S. FL area.
But not surprised, there are a lot of car enthusiasts here.

Hey, nice to meet you too! Do you ride Northstar often?
That's sick, how was eagle lakes in the snow? I've really wanted to get up there in the Summer but never got around to it since i'm usually by myself.
If you're ever looking for another rig to do some trails with let me know, i'm always down!

We really only went a mile on the road since it was dark, just wanted to break loose a little in the snow.
I jumped on the Tahoe Local pass this year so Friday was actually my 3rd day at Northstar so far this season! I'm aiming for at least once a week, lots of mileage this winter

T4R boarding crew??? I was at Heavenly this past weekend and I'll be heading up again this upcoming weekend. I've also got the Tahoe Local Pass.

Nice, that was my first day riding this season when you saw me, but i rode the rest of the weekend too. I also got the Tahoe Local pass so i'll be making many more weekend trips as well! I'll definitely be hitting up South lake too when we get more snow. Hopefully i see you up there again! :cheers:
