Hit me up if you ever hit some trails. I live in Plymouth and always looking for a place to go. Where is that logging area?

Will do. Come spring, I want to make some trips to Appleton and Iron Range!
That logging road is in Minong, WI by my families cabin!

The picture I posted in this thread is from my trip to Whitaker Point trail in Arkansas. Last 5 miles or so is dirt road. Trail was very scenic.

Hey everyone, Des Plaines, IL here (just outside of Chicago). I would be up for some trail drives in the warmer months if anyone is interested.
I've made it out to CO twice this year with the 4Runner and can't believe how well it handles even stock with 275 K02s!
Where in CO did you go?

Minneapolis here. Grew up riding around in my old man's '86 SR5 (RIP inclinometer). I drove an '07 SR5 for a few years and just got myself a 2018 TRD ORP. If there are any others in the Twin Cities that are just starting to make mods, I'd definitely like to swap ideas and see what you're doing. Also - looking for some others to rip up some trails with. Mine's so new it hasn't even been off-road yet.

Based off your photo we live very close to each other haha, in PV as well.
Do you by any chance have a silver trail with an SSO I think front bumper and a roof rack and possibly a CBI rear bumper?
NM, just saw your garage. There is a few 5th gens by my place.
Yea no mods, just like browsing the forum. Will be sure to say hi if I see you around.

Nice ride! Where are you exactly (I am in Hopkins)? If you're close, I would love to meet up!

I'm in Bloomington so not far at all. Definitely want to see some of the mods you've made in person and pick your brain a bit.
Curious to know what your Walser experience was like??
I bought my original Runner used from Walser Nissan down in Burnsville and they weren't so honest about some things (even though she was still a thing of beauty). I'd been looking for the exact one I just bought for about 6 months. Walser Toyota wouldn't budge and inch with their "no-haggle best price" or throw anything additional in. They were asking 41.5 and I found a dealership south of Chicago that I talked down to 37.5 so I rented a car, popped down to get it and drove it back.
:cheers:
Twin cities here. Have 3 buddies from a local car club with 5th gens. We get together periodically still. Meeting up tonight actually if you're interested.

Awesome, we should connect sometime then. I love talking 4Runners!
My Bloomington Walser experience was very good. I actually almost worked for them! :lmao: The staff is awesome, and they were easy to work with. The no haggle pricing BS is a little annoying, but I have to admit that it makes it easy. The price is what it is, they wont change. It also helped me get my TRD Pro at MSRP...not the crazy mark-ups we've been seeing lately. I wouldn't expect to get a TRD Pro below MSRP anyway, so it really didn't hurt me. Way better dealership experience then when I had my BMW M235i....wayyyyy better.
What time and where are you meeting up? I'd love to join if you don't mind!

[MENTION=147480]aelarson[/MENTION] - that's good to hear. I wanted to try and give them my business again, but $4,000 was too big of a disparity. That's mod $$ for me. Definitely down to link up and shoot the sh*t soon.
[MENTION=208422]Mn_t4r[/MENTION] - let me know what time and where as well. Not 100% sure I will be able to make it tonight but I'd love to meet some other people in the local community...Especially if they love these things 1/2 as much as I do.
