I'm in Vancouver as well and would be down to meet up with some local Toyota guys and drive some of the trails around here or even meet for a meet up or something. If anyone is interested PM me and lets get this started.
Does anyone from the northwest actually use this?

Hey fellas,
I’m from Portland/Vancouver as well. Always looking for some guys to go riding with. Been up to the Larch Mtn. Area quite a bit. Lot’s offshooting trails to check out, get lost. Still haven’t been out to Browns Camp yet but let me know if/when anybody’s down to go.

Here representing the little woman. My rig is a '69FJ40. Hers is a new (to us) '19 SR5.
We're between the Cascade Foothills and Channeled Scablands, in Wenatchee.
Have had most style of 4WD-Toy & Nissan P/Us, Full size Broncos, Pathfinders, Xterras, Jeep, a previous FJ40, Scout. Retired after 20 years with DOI; drove many other rigs during that time. Fair amount of off-roading in SoCal before I was transferred. :cheers:

Hey all I'm on the east side of the Cascades in Wenatchee. Sometimes I'm in the Graham area visiting the parents. I'm rolling around in a 2015 Inferno Trd Pro.

Added a pic of the ride. If you see me honk and wave!
Wenatchee also. Dark blue 5gen with a roof rack (Lime green trim) and sliders. Stickers say "Toyoda" (with baby Yoda) and 4Runners of Washington. I have an FJ40 and we are talking about starting a TLC group. I'll feel people out about admitting 4Runners, etc.

I am here in Seattle. I just joined the group. I have been looking for you all for years. But now I REALLY need you. I have a blown head gasket and want to find a good shop to make an engine swap and maybe some upgrades while I am at it. But budget is an issue. sigh......

From Vancouver would be cool to get together with some guys and go wheeling or exploring

Greetings from Hillsboro. I'm running a stock '08 Sport, but hoping to start building it up to run 33s in the not too distant future. I have dreams of someday doing an long overland trip through NV, ID, and eastern OR. So far, my experience is limited to some rough FS roads and tame two track. I have so much to learn.
Help me make my dreams come true.

Sandlake near Tillamook is a simple beach drive with some small dunes. Not as big as the dunes near Florence but still a fun trip. We may go again in late September or October on a week day to avoid the weekend mess.

I haven't tried sand before. Can you do that in a stock 4R with LT tires? I always figured that was just asking to get stuck. Yeah....I'm that ignorant about 4x4 right now. Anything more than a rough dirt road is new to me. Do you need extra equipment/permits for the dunes?

Before I added my AT tires, my stock T4 with OEM tires did fine in soft sand. Sand is good, no pinstripes, no trees and it's fun to drive near the surf.
I air down to 15 psi and as soon as you feel the T4 digging in, get off the gas. There are a lot of good sand driving videos on YouTube.
Equipment - Tire deflators, compressor to air up, dune flag and in Oregon an ATV pass. A snatch strap and shackles are good if someone needs to give you a pull.
You will be surprised on how well 4WD and airing down works in the sand.
If we make a trip to Sandlake I'll let you know. I have a CO2 tank, deflators and snatch strap. It's best to go with another vehicle in case you get really stuck, but I have been in some very deep soft stuff with no problems.
