Finally got her on the road [with video]

[a_young240]

Newbie here... you guys helped get her on the road. So thanks.

In reality, she's not really that flexy; has some nice 35's, but she came that way. Since it's a 1996 Limited 4Runner 3.4L V6 4x4 Auto it has 4.56 stock gears, but I am going to change to 5.29. Also received my Runva 12.5XP winch, which I'm part way through fabricating my custom tube bumper.

Thought I'd share our first video. Nothing amazing, but it was fun taking her out. I live in Abbotsford, BC so we went out to the Harrison West FSR exploring some logging roads. Starts out with my friend driving, then he's out playing spotter later.

I wanted to make it to Sunrise Lake. We camped there this summer, but hiked in - caught some nice sized fish... the rope swing also broke :/

In the end, came up too far left on V-Rock, sketched me out. Decided to save it until next time.

Thanks. It's my new project.

My other hobby is audio engineering - expensive hobbies FTW!

Nice rig. I went up that V-rock the first time and had to be winched out. noobie mistake of choosing the wrong line..But I have since went back up and down it twice without hassle.

I look forward to trying again. But since we were alone and I don't have my winch mounted just yet, we decided to save ourselves the long walk home

Good call. Did you air down? Because that's a big plus going up that rock.

 

[a_young240]

Yes, I did. The truck could have made it, it was just my choice of line that hindered us.

Right on.. It'll be a lot more challenging now with all the rain water gushing down those rocks. Take care and hopefully we can wheel sometime.

Hopefully there will be some nice days left in September. Perhaps I'll be able to find someone to come out with us that has done it before. Can't hurt.
