What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Lost Lake, Colorado

Parking lot was full at the Lost Lake trail head. Fortunately they have a small forest road that leads to additional parking. The recent rain and snow melt had made the water crossing deeper than normal but the 4Runner handled it like a champ. Tried to do some fly fishing up at Lost Lake but the pup wanted to swim instead.

Once again, great shots, you need to start your own thread!

I love that trout dog collar! Who makes it if you don't mind?

Dublin Dog Co. This one was purchased at Orvis but looking at their website, they have a lot more options plus some softer ones. This one is pretty rigid unfortunately.
 
Went out with Badlands Offroad for rock Climbing course at Johnson Valley OHV. Me and 5 Jeeps, managed to tear the plastic bumper trim off the back, exactly where new Shrockworks bumper will go next year. ARB airlockers put to excellent use, no way I could have made the climb on attached photo without lockers. One of the jeeps made a blind turn into a ravine, no major damage, once we pulled it out it ran fine.


Which tire carrier are you using ?
 
I went hiking at Mount Charleston today. 77 degrees is a nice change from the 108 on the valley floor.

Got some new shoes...

Technically it was this weekend, but I ditched the OEM Bridgestone Duelers in 265/70/17 and went with the new BFG KO2s /10 ply in 275/70/17. VERY happy with the new rubber so far. Minimal noise increase (barely noticeable really) nice ride and GREAT off-road. Anyone want some almost new Bridgestones? Took 'em off with 1500 miles on them.

Today I hauled the boat for the hour + drive to Sandy Point to fish the Bay for White Perch. Only 25 keepers over 9", but Yum- Dinner!

Anyway, I just figured out how to post to youtube (because I'm an idiot) so here's a video that shows why I love my little Scout so much!

At only 16' and a modified tunnel hull, it will literally float in 10" of water (with the motor up), yet I can safely travel on rough days like this. There were NO other 16' boats out there today- I got some strange looks, lol)!

The "crashes" sound worse on the camera- it was attached to the windscreen, you can see my reflection at times- pretty cool.

I didn't get to open her up until around 10:40-ish in the video, and I don't think I ran wide open....

She's petite fast and mean. I love her.

Enjoy!
