Yes that's it. Here is another view from the Land Cruiser club:

I did the trail a couple months ago, all stock 2000 4Runner with street tires (at that time) and it was fine. Granted I took the easier drive around bits at times.
Anyway, fun trail to run. There are some mine shafts at the top, one even has a Jeep at the bottom of it.

Do you happen to work in Springville? I feel like I've seen you down there pretty frequently, or maybe just a very similar 5th gen.
Okay everyone...my wife surprised me with some 4xInnovations sliders for my birthday and I'm hoping to get them welded on. Anyone up for the task or can recommend someone to do it?

Ok folks, time for our next outing, this Saturday Aug 5th at 9am: Forest Lake trail and Mineral Basin area.
Both are up American Fork Canyon. Forest Lake trail starts with a small water crossing and goes 1.8 miles up to a small hidden lake. The beginning is the most technical part and is fine for stock and lightly modified rigs. From the lake we'll double back and hang a right to check out the area of Mineral basin. We'll take that road as far up as people feel comfortable.
Meet at the Chevron in Alpine at 9am and we'll head out from there. Address is 5260 W 11000 N, Highland, UT 84003.
Note that a day pass to play in AF canyon is $6 and is payable at the canyon entrance. We'll air down at the Tibble Fork parking lot.
Bring a friend, bring a camera, bring some snacks and we'll see you there! All are welcome.

Bonus round: For those with additional time and interest, I plan to explore Timpooneke road after Mineral Basin. Feel free to tag along.

Looks like a good group.
Weather should be good for tomorrow for those coming along.
See you in the morning.

Had a good time on Forest Lake trail with my brother and my son. Tagged a boulder at one point but whatever. Getting a new tail light today. Saw this SAS first Gen up at the lake. All in all a fun day.

Just need someone to post up with an idea! Where do you want to go?
I'm seriously considering Moab Sept 15/16. It would be fun to get a group together if people want to go. I'd just be doing moderate trails, nothing too extreme.

Hey all. Im new to the beehive state and definitely new to offloading! I just purchased my dream car! I need to get outta my house and do stuff! I live in the Ogden area. Anyone close by wants to link up to do a meet and greet and maybe show me around would be great! So far, my 4Runner is bone stock, but it is a TRDP!

Hey guys,
My girlfriend and I were going to go to Glacier but last minute decided to head to Utah/Moab. We leave wednesday and because of the last minute change (mainly because of current weather at Glacier) I'm scrambling to try and find some info.
We are wanting to do a couple trail runs obviously around Moab so if anyone has any recommendations on some good runs for a stock suspension but with 285s that would be great.
Also looking if someone could give some friendly local knowledge on a good camping spot as we will not have time to make any sort of reservation. We would like something close to water if possible.
Lastly, any kayaking (easy) spots that anyone knows would be great.
Thanks for the help! Feel free to shoot me a PM or just reply here.
