I live in Sacramento, but I don't know if there are any 4Runner specific clubs. I've taken a trail run with the Capitol City Mountain Goats which was a lot of fun. I plan on doing more next year. My wife drives our completely stock 4Runner as I have a long commute. Welcome to the board.
Thanks, I was begining to wonder whether I'd ever get a responce on this thread. I just recently got mine, and I'm just getting the kinks worked out in it. Its still compleatly stock, however I've been itching to take it over to Prairie City 4x4 park. I haven't been there but it would be cool to see what the truck can do. Good to know I'm not the only one in the Captal City.

I didn't even notice you were in Elk Grove. I'm just north of EG, but have lived out there a long time. EG High School class of 91! ha ha.
Anyways, I've been out to prairie city and it seemed to be more geared towards quads and dirt bikes and things like that. However, there are a few obsticles for "larger" 4x4's, including the mini-rubicon, although you probably don't want run that one with a stock anything.
What year/model is yours? I've got a 97 SR5, V6, 5 speed, 4x4 with the stock 15" wheels. Not the best, but it's still quite capable!
If you've got a 3rd generation Runner you may also want to check out yotatech.com, if you haven't already. It's primarily a 3rd gen board.

Cool, I've only been in Elk Grove for a couple of years. But its a nice place.
My trucks a 90 SR5 V6 5-speed. 3.0 liter 4x4. Its a bit slow, but eventualy once I get some more cash I'd like to put in the 3.4 liter supercharged. But thats probibly a ways down the road. Everything is still stock, but again I'd like to add things here and there when I can. I'm still a student, so finding the cash to start modifying is a little difficult, lol. Anyway, thanks for the info on Prarie, I was wondering what was out there.

Lol, well it really isn't my desision. My pops just got himself a new Tacoma TRD so he doesn't want to sell his T-100 because he loves it so much. So he's basicly making me sell the 4Runner so i end up with the T100. Either way, we're all keeping with Toyota. Unfortunatly the T-100 isn't 4x4. But its still fun to drive.

trboblu74tii, nice looking Runner. I'm out near Elk Grove, 99/Calvine area. I've got a stock '97 SR5 and have been on a few runs with a local Jeep club. Doing another one in 2 weeks. Only thing is, our Runner has the 15" alloys so I'm lacking a little in ground clearance, but I don't do anything extreme, just some trail runs.

GYoter, is that a Disco on your neighbors driveway? Maybe they'd be up for wheelin with some 4Runners? 
On the last SUV run I went on led by the local jeep club, there was a group of about 6-8 Discoveries heading the opposite way on the trail. I'd like to be out with a group of 4Runners for mild-moderate trails.

Thats good to know there is a tech on this forum nearby. If i ever need anything i will ask you first. Do you work at one of the dealers around here?trboblu74tii said:
It is an old school range rover next door. The guy also has a brand new range rover that he said cost like 86000. I still say my runner in nicer. And i doubt he would wheel either of them.
I would also only want something mild-moderate. I dont wheel very often so i dont want to go out and beat on her.

:awais: Hey I'm from Sac too! Cool to see more of us around here.
I'm up for a meet and wheel sometime. I have an '04 SR5 Runner with the V8 and just love it. Right now it's stock with the 17" wheels. I've taken it on some good 4WD only roads and it has performed really well. It would be nice to have some more clearance though. I don't do anything too extreme, like I used to in my '93 4x4 Toyota Truck, in this ride........yet. It's still a little too new to beat up really bad.

I'm trying to become a member of CCMG, such a great bunch of people. But if any of you guys want to go wheeling, and something safe for a SUV, post a thread here. In the next month or so, I'm going out to test the trails outside of Foresthill. I'll post when I'm going and any of ya'all that want to come along is fine by me. I know I can drag/talk Joe into coming along with me. Oh and if you have or know someone who has, a CB only adds to the fun of this trip!!:biggrin2:
