Maybe this year it'll get used with some of these kind folks.

Yeah, kinda last minute, but I was able to connect with them and get into WFF. Was fun. I'll try to post some pix in coming days.
I'd be in for a little time at Prairie City ... I'll see if I can figure out a day and maybe do that + Latrobe road

I don't know how we spent like 4+ hours at your place trying to figure out how to slip on the JBA's on your rig [MENTION=142877]Folsom4Rnr[/MENTION]... Took me all of under 2hrs to get both sides on....

Can't wait!
Let us know. Dying to go wheeling again, and not send it as hard this time around.
haha no no not on Fordyce trail. I"m talking about the camp site where you go left at the fork instead of right onto Fordyce. I am not going back there for a good minute.

Nice looking setup there. I would consider looking into them just to get at least back to factory caster #'s.
But ver away do to blowing out BJs at 20k just to have them #s
Thats about how many miles I had on a set of SPCs before I went to uniballs.

Hi folks, wanted to introduce myself here. Im new to off-roading and picked up a 3rd gen about a year ago. I’m looking to finally take it out on some trails to see how much I want to invest in getting it set up as an overland rig. A large part of this is convincing my gf that this is something she will enjoy too (she’s skeptical about my proposed investments in gear...) So I’m planning on taking her and the dog out on a trip for Presidents’ Day weekend.
Any suggestions for a spot near the Bay Area that is good for a stock 4Runner with a noob behind the wheel and nice for camping? Also if anyone is planning a weekend trip any time soon it’d be great to meet some of the folks here!

I did quite a bit of research prior to pulling the trigger on these... Seems like people have had really good experiences with them so far, so I decided to be a test guinea pig too. Hopefully they wont wear out in 20k miles, but we'll see! Might be a good idea to carry a spare 1/2ton ball joint now that I think about it...

Welcome!
You probably won't find anything decent near the bay, but it also depends what kind of wheeling and camping you want to do...
There is a dirt road that connects the western and eastern Pinnacles(La Gloria Road), but it's all flat... Nice thing though is you can go car camping at Pinnacles National Park, which might be a good way to ease your gf into the outdoors... Could also camp out at Hollister Hills, and go wheeling there during the day. Then there's somewhere inland of Big Sur, which passes an active military base. Forget the name of that spot. Another spot is old coast road... However you'd need to camp at a nearby state park, as I doubt you're allowed to camp on there...
Other than that, you'll probably have to head towards the Sierra's, but you'd definitely want someone else to go with you in case you get stuck in the snow or SHTF.
Only to eagle lakes.

Yeah, that was 2 snake lake runs, and that right turn Clyde on the Fordyce across the river n back.
Had so much slop on the BJ, was enough for me to change over.

Yeah... Im good to go. Lets do this!
You want to meet at Prairie City at like 1pm? The webpage says there is some sort of training class but it doesnt list a closure... so not sure what to expect... but I say lets plan on heading over there, check it out, then hit up Latrobe Rd.
