Went in to town last week, ran it through the car wash (horse had pooped on the door).
Was dirty again when we got home.

That 68 looks clean for its age...and the new ride is strong looking. Enjoy the road!

Enjoying the road can be difficult.
I'm an OTR truck driver rolling over 3,000 miles every week.

Almost got it stuck today. Fortunately was able to back out and go around.
I'm sure the 4runner could have gone through but our lack of experience at offroad driving and spotting is our downfall.
What I most encounter is "roads" (this was Verde Dr. Single track dirt trail) that crosses a 15' wide X 5' deep, sandy bottom wash at a diagonal.
We were 4 miles from home. Wife could have pulled us out (07 Ram 2500 4x4)

I was in 4low, ATRAC was on.
Right front and left rear were the drooping tires and both were spinning as I gradually applied throttle.
Shouldn't ATRAC have applied brake to the spinning wheels directing power to the two with traction?

bushings and heat
Check out the poly bushings or that heat will wear on them quickly!

Ok, dummy here.
I had it in 4lo, ATRAC was not on.
I may go try it again.

Just went through there.
Last time I was in 4lo and LF & RR spun. Tires were aired down a little, 25 psi.
This time ATRAC was on, tires were still at 35 (38, hot day). Shuddered a bit as ATRAC grabbed the opposing spinners.
Rolled right on through.
I want the front camera.
No one would go with me to video.

Sold one of our cars today, 2005 Dodge Magnum.
Down to 2 pickups, 2 SUVs, 3 motorcycles, and a quad.
I'd like to get 3-4 more quads.

Looks great with some dirt on the tires!
