Seattle area 4Runner Meet Up anyone?

I thought I saw you Thursday on I-5 south by Boeing field, which I thought was bizarre since you live north. But it was the only other shoreline blue trail I've seen in the area, guy was on his phone and all over the road and couldn't maintain the speed limit for anything. I passed him quickly enough to not get hit by his idiocy.

What a jackass. Nope, it wasn't me. And you would know it's me now by the Snorkel sticking out of my passenger side. I've not seen any other Shoreline Blue Trails in the area before. I wonder if it's SeattleMikes old Trail. Do you still have your SR5? I thought you were trying to sell it or something last we talked at the Blazzin Bagel.

Yep Still got it, just did the 55k service. Keeping it till after my tour in the Middle East next year to trade it in on a new truck since these trucks maintain their value so well. Will probably take off almost all the mods and put them up for sale on here. Though it will be a while. It may have been SeattleMike's almost forgot about that one being shoreline blue.

On a separate note, saw a '10-'13 Mag grey trail with SCS Stealth 6s in the Issaquah highlands today behind Dick's Sporting goods. I waved but I don't think he saw me through the tinted windows.
 
Looks like there is a solid Toyota crew in the seattle area! Just moved to First Hill from Idaho. Would love to meet up with some fellow 4Runner folks and do some exploring before the weather turns cold. You all can check out my rig on Instagram [MENTION=48509]Super[/MENTION]infernopro

Is that a TRD PRO? Your a brave man taking that in the woods. Very nice though. You plan on putting some armor to protect that beauty? Welcome!
 
Here's what we have been up too. As some of you know who had met my wife she has severe chrons disease. She just had surgery to remove a foot of dead intestines. We are waiting on her to recover to head back to the trails. Thats the life update. As far as the runner goes. 4" lift is on, waiting on doing the body lift for now. Planning on doing the engine swap this minter and doing a SAS with possibly 1tons. I have some real simple sliders on it. If i cant find someone to take my parts truck for free without any paperwork Than i am going to cut it up and make a 2nd gen barbeque and probably use part of the old frame to make some hefty sliders. Here is a pic of how she sits now with the everyday tires and the weekend tires i borrowed from my neighbor.

oh yeah they did and a front cv shaft for dessert. LOL my wife got a good video of me sinking it to the bumper in a mud hole. She has been going good. Recovering well. Thanks for asking.
 
I'm down for whatever. Naches is my go to spot but most of the trails are too skinny for 5th gens unless you don't care about paint like me. Been wanting to check out Elbe for a bit.

If anyone is a sissy about the cold there is always Tahuya.

Seriously, lets do this!

How about just a meet in general maybe a easy wheeling trip??? Maybe a camping meetup???

You can camp at Tahuya?? I would love to see a 5thgen head through elbe. I would be worried about a little more that just you paint though. The trails are tight with a lot of roots sticking out. I know the 5th gens are a little bigger than my skinny 2nd gen. My first time out i took out my tail light and was real close to taking out my rear quarter panel. Once my wife is done recovering from surgery we would go out to elbe with you. What size tires do you have and how much lift?

Probably heading up to fortune creek next weekend. I'll camp, weather dependent

I wanted to do that trail all summer, but my buddy wanted to keep going out to elbe instead. My wife is still recovering from surgery so sadly we cant join you although i would love to. Take lots of pics
