My opinion. Don't come to this forum if you plan on actually sticking to your plan... Money disappearing from your wallet is directly correlated to your post count... good luck!
Ain't that the truth. This forum is setup to empty a wallet.lol

Very nice truck and bikes! I had the first Gen carbon Nomad and then the Tallboy LT carbon. Currently riding an Evil The Following. Hoping to get my TEP this summer, so I appreciate all the detailed info you've provided.

Awesome! Biking and 4Running go hand in hand! Good luck with the TEP, hope to see it on here soon!

Love the idea of the light in the rear hatch, will be adding to the lisrt of mods
Speaking of bikes, I "borrowed" another one of your ideas with the 1Up Rack - how'd you lock it in?

It's pretty awesome. Tons of light, small package, what more is there?! Here it is in action this weekend!

Not sure I get what you are asking. The rack? The bike? :ballchain:
Haha yeah the rack - I see a lock hanging from it?

Yeah, there is a slot on the rack right where the tightening bolt is that allows you to fit a lock on it so that someone cannot get a tool in to loosen and remove the rack. :lock1: It works well! Good product design in my opinion.

Highway 4 to 88 - 1 of 3
See 2 of 3 below
Now that the snow is melting in the Sierras, [MENTION=106195]v_man[/MENTION] [Vincent] and I decided that it would be good to head up to the hills off of Highway 4 to see what we could find. After a quick post on Expo, we had a group of guys for a 2 day 1 night trip.
Driver/Rig:
V_man[Vincent] - 1990 Toyota 4Runner
younglexx [Alex] - 2005-2010 Toyota Tacoma
Comanche Scott [Scott & Thor] - 2014 Jeep JKUR-X
jAndyMendo [Andy & Taco] - 2014 Toyota Tacoma TRDOR
MTN4RNR [Max] - 2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail
Vincent, Andy and I met in the Bay Area and headed East to meet the others in Stockton
We all met in Stockton, refueled and headed up to the mountains!
PC: Vincent
Soon, snow!
After a quick refuel in Arnold, our first stop was the famous Slick Rock trail. We were stopped at the trailhead due to heavy snow on a North facing slope. Still about 3’ left, so maybe in a month or so we can try again!
PC: Vincent
We moved up the highway to a nice overlook at the top of the Pacific Grade where we got a chance to get out and check out the scenery.
PC: Andy
PC: Andy
We then down the eastern side of the Pacific Grade, into Deer Valley. The pass had just opened the day before, so people and cars were scarce. We pulled over and watched Vincent plow through a bank with his 37’s. The Tacomas tried to follow, and weren’t successful. A good use of Scott’s winch, and we had them out.

PC: Vincent
After our quick recovery session, we drove a few feet up the road to the Deer Valley 4x4 trail. Taking a quick look up the trail, and a short walk, I realized that my mostly stock 4Runner would have a hard time with the trail if I didn’t want to sustain body damage. Seeing as I am installing sliders within a few weeks, it seemed foolish to try, so I parked at the bottom and became the spotter/cameraman for the trail run.
Vincent led the group with his 4Runner. 37” tall tires and low, low gears made his rig the most capable of the group. He hardly required a spot, and was usually far ahead on the trail.
Andy took a tough line and ended up 2 wheeling on a boulder and lost forward momentum, ultimately taking the other line. Major props for the attempt, it was awesome! SLIDERS for the win!

TACOOOOOOOOO
After finishing up a short run of the Deer Valley trail, we headed back down the mountain to the west to check on the Corral Hollow trail. We were stopped by snow at the trail head at the eastern entrance, and met the same story at the western entrance.
So we moved to lower elevations and made our way to an OHV area around 6000’ elevation. We didn’t encounter nearly as much snow, and the need for a campsite was approaching. Game on.
PC: Vincent
After about 20 miles of slow paced sections and some 40 mph rally stages, we settled on an area next to a creek with a few established fire pits. Set up camp, had some beers, had some conversation around the campfire, and settled in for the night.
I also got a good opportunity to test out the Hatch Light Mod in the wild. I was pretty amazed by the light output of the S2 from [MENTION=87816]Baja Designs[/MENTION].
Morning breaks in the campsite.

Breakfast on the creek

Highway 4 to 88 - 3 of 3
We then dispersed from camp and headed through the National Forest land, with the exit point being Highway 88, north of our location.
We then came across a river that had an optional river crossing with an overhead bridge. Needless to day, we took the optional route.
Woo hoo diff breather mod!
PC: Vincent
We then found ourselves upon the swollen Mokelumne River and a sweet campsite next to it.
Crossing the river [on a bridge, duh] we headed out of the canyon, towards Highway 88, and to the end of the adventure! 55 miles off road, 2 days, 5 rigs, and an awesome adventure! I can’t wait for the next trip!

More to come….
