Minnesota 4Runner Club

[ZebRuaj]

Welcome, I had a spec v before the 4runner. I've had a supercharged E36 M3 on the side for 11 years too. Had a Ramcharger back in HS.

Thanks for the welcome!

Got some maintenance stuff to iron out this weekend. Spark plugs, fluids and filters, the usual simple stuff. Hoping to get 250k + miles on this truck.

 

[ZebRuaj]

Anyone want to help me replace the driver's side half shaft? CV is torn. Worse than I thought now that I inspected it with the wheel off.

Hi! Checking in here from Cottage Grove...

Can anyone recommend a shop, preferably in the SE metro, to do a mild lift. 5100s, most likely. I have a 2013 trail with KDSS.

thanks,
ben

I'm selling my stock 2006 Limited 18" wheels (could use a repaint) with Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires at 9/32nd tread depth. I'm in South Minneapolis.

Anyone locally done the LED color swap for the dash and HVAC control panel lights?

 

[CoastieRon]

I think a few people are still active in this thread. Started in Woodbury but will now be settling in to Apple Valley. Looking to get a group ride going or just someone else who's interested in going. Anyone planning anything soon?

 

[ZebRuaj]

We created a MN 4Runner group on Facebook with a few followers too. No one leading the charge for a trail ride or gathering yet.

Winter's here and that's when I pull them into the garage and work on them. My 99 has been worked on off and on since September and I'm not even close to being done. I finished my sport in Oct but I go on light trails with it cuz it's my DD. Come May though I could put something together or help plan with someone else.

Just wanted to say hi, in case this thread picks back up in the spring. Just got into wheeling 2 years ago and bought 99 4runner last year. I've been out to dresser once and the Iron Range 3 times. Looking forward to having some other Toyota's to run with.

I'll be going to dresser in May for memorial weekend. I've been working on my 99 all winter for it.

 

[FuiousGeorge]

I was planning on making Memorial weekend. I'll post up when I'm headed to the range. I usually run with a bunch of jeeps. I'm putting in CV's on both sides and a new muffler this weekend. Hoping to put at least a front tube bumper and winch on this year. Looking forward to seeing some more 4runners out there this year.

I go with a bunch of jeep guys too. Mainly cuz I'm also a jeep guy, last year I took my 87 wrangler. This year I decided to take my 4Runner cuz I haven't used it much since I bought it. I spent 2 months fixing the frame and for the last month I've replaced all brakes and new brake lines, lifted it, new axle seals and bearings, big 3 wiring with a GM alternator and fuse box, and now I'm moving on to the interior. In a few years I'm gonna put a Dana 44 on this sucker.

SAS nice. My buddy Tony just did this and has 44's front and rear, running 35's in his 97. 28in coilover on a homebrew longarm setup. He's just finishing it up. We'll see if his weld's hold up ; ). My brother has a stock 97 with 32's and has come out sometimes.

 

[MN4runnerman]

Well if they don't hold just bring some rebar and a bunch of batteries to wire in series so you can do a super fun trail repair welding job. I've seen that done at dresser.

Hey guys. New to Minneapolis and just got a 4Runner. Any trips planned? It would be great to meet some new people out here.

Welcome! I haven't made plans for a get together but I'm going to dresser over memorial weekend. Some others have shown interest.

 

[MNT4R]

Yeah! Welcome to the group. MNrunnerman, I am definitely interested in that also. A couple of us here in Rochester might be going to the iron range to camp and wheel midsummer, if there are any takers.

I'd like to join on any of these trips! My girlfriend and I have camped all over Utah, Nevada, California and Colorado. Looking forward to exploring Minnesota. Please keep me posted! It would be great to go with people who know the area.

 

[MN4runnerman]

I have this posted in the 3rd Gen Midwest BS thread and I thought I'd post up here too. On memorial weekend there's an off-road rally in dresser, WI. It's really fun with lots of technical obstacles and some mud. Fair warning, though, you might get a dent or 2. Here's their website Minnesota Go-4-Wheelers ? Minnesota's most active Offroad club since 1966
Hope you all will consider it!

Has anyone been up to Gandy Dancer trails? That seems to be the closest one around the cities. I have thought about checking it out sometime if anyone else would be interested also or know anything about it? Or if anyone knows any private land or such to go off roading.
