WOW! NICE PICS! I haven't done any off-roading on the 4Runner.

 

[Bobby]

Great pics! Looks like you had a blast. I still have mud/clay coming out of the crevices of my 4runner from last month.

 

[horsey]

wow, nice pictures! Wish I could drive through dirt like you. Good luck cleaning your rig.

 

[JB.]

LOL!

That pic with the hood up is wicked. No problems after the engine hose-down?

 

[tkr128]

Dude, those pictures are awesome! Looks like you had a lot of fun! Were you able to get all that mud off the car?

 

[RyanM]

Question: How do you go about doin donuts with the traction control? Whenever I try to step out the back end I get the lovely beeping from the dash, and the brakes pumping on me...

 

[the_josh]

i hosed her all off at a local car wash, so the mud wasnt baked to much on, and i still havent washed her yet. i pretty much got mud anywhere and everywhere water can get, every jamb around the sunroof, so i got lots of work to do but it was worth it, the only problems i noticed is the front door need some lubing but thats about it, she drives fine

as for the donuts i drove the truck in hi 4 with the diff locked and that turns off the trac control aso you can really swing out the back in as you can see in one of the pics, i was also able to pull eight donuts in a row! it was a blast and a awesome sight!!!

Man that looks like a ton of fun. It does suck washing all the mud off but it's worth it. My biggest fear is scratching the paint as I wash off the mud, but I think I'm close to mastering the technique. I wish we could turn off the VSC while in 2WD, like we can in 4W HI. That would be great! Nice pics!

 

[AlexJet]

That's the way how to temporally change the color of $runner without paintshop.

Just posting a small pic so I can get it on the main page

Congrats, we are a little early, not quite July, but congrats and you do use your rig. I like the pic of the mud in the engine bay. :driving:

 

[TRD04RUNNER]

Damn l@@k like fun! I wish I could take the 4R out mudding like that! I got to go rent me a 4R and try that sometime! I bet the person behind you was piss when you were driving on the street to the car wash after the mud bath !!
