Hey Guys,
I can finally say I am a T4R owner! There are only a few others here in Northfield. I pulled the trigger on a 5th gen limited man is it sweet.
I got the bigger AT tires installed before leaving the Toyota City Brooklyn Park dealership - thanks to Dana B.! He's the best sales person around.
Nitto Terra Grapplers in 275/60R20. Now I will never get stuck hauling back to my deer stand!
I drove straight to my guy in Northfield for the 2-2.5 inch suspension upgrade & lift with Bilstein 5100s x 4.
Even my lady likes climbing up into it!
Hope to see you all on the road,
Cat 85

Off Road Spots in MN
Anyone have any feedback on the off road spots up north?
Any recommendations for a place to go check out for a beginner?
Here is the mn map that links to public off road vehicle sites.

You'll notice there are only 2 in MN that allow ORV (off road vehicle, as in 4R, Jeep, etc.).
One is the Gandy Dancer, basically a gravel road. Lots of stop signs, farms, houses.
Two is in Gilbert. Haven't been there yet but it looks like the best bet for "off roading".
Best bet may be to head up to the UP. Most of the trails there allow ORV use as well as ATV. MN limits most of the trails to ATV only.

Wife and I just bought an '87 SR5 for under $600. First time out in the woods today, needs some work but amazing truck (considering the front end wont lock 
) If you find anywhere good to go in MN let us know! We are up in Brainerd area and just took it on some back trails in Barrows.

I'm here in the twin cities. 99 4runner, 3" lift, 33's armor. I've been hanging with a group of Jeeps for a couple years up in the Iron Range. I'm starting to think about pulling together a twin cities Toyota off road club. There are a few places to get out around the state, a couple private off road areas open a few times a year too. Should we try to put some type of gathering together?
Honestly I'm not entirely sure... Of course the upcoming TRD supercharger sounds fun- but that's not out yet and I'm not sure if I want/need the extra power. Here's the list of what I've done or am thinking about getting done:
-Toyota OEM running board: on order
-Tonneau cover for cargo area: on order
-Auto Vent Shade Brand bug deflector: on order
-Viper iPhone powered remote start / security: probably will install soon
-Weathertech floor mats and cargo mat
-Tint for front windows
-CB radio Cobra 75 WX ST and FireStick antennae
-Dual battery setup for "house" power
-Rack: OEM or Yakima cross bars, or Baja / Gobi rack?
-Exterior lighting?
-Lift?
I'd like to not go too overboard for warranty purposes. Suggestions and feedback definitely welcome! What do you recommend?

Hmmm.... maybe I should ask the dealership to cancel the running boards and put that money towards some TRD wheels or something else? Any recommendations? (Already paid the inflated OEM price for the running boards)
Well it's been a few weeks, but I got the remote start and some tint on the front windows. I've got a pro-clip mount for my iPhone on order, and will soon orders some weathertech floor mats. I'd also like to replace all of the interior lights with LEDs, and perhaps build a double drawer system for the cargo area.
Perhaps wheels and tires are in my future soon, as well as a Baja Rack! Pretty weak mods so far, but one can always dream, right?
