What did you do with your 4runner today?

What did I do today? I took my 4Runner off road and played in the grass and mud! i found a high tension wire right of way that wasn't blocked or posted (unusual around here), so I popped into 4WD and put on a couple of miles going over hill and dale, in 4-hi and 4-lo. with center diff locked to increase lubrication, etc., per the owner's manual. Came across some muddy stretches and nervously went through them, thankfully without incident. I'm running Geolander H/T-S tires - basically street tires, not even all terrains - but had no problem. Finally went home and now I'm very pleased with myself and as mellow as a wet noodle.

Did the same thing the other day, Vic. It's a lot of fun!

I used to kick ass with my Bridgestone Duelers. I could keep up/surpass people with KM2's and terra grapplers! Such a great feeling!
 
went online looking for volt gauges. anyone have ideas or thoughts on putting a volt guage in the blank for the older 4th gen rear window switch?

Got some new rubber...265/70/17 Yokohama Geolander A/T-S's....HUGE on-road improvement over the old, worn out BFG Long Trail T/A's that were on the 4R when I bought it.

Can't wait to give it an off-road test next week:banana:

Wait. I want to hear about the off-road test too, but for now, please tell me about road noise at highway speeds. Good? Bad? So-so? I have the H/T-S Geolanders, and really can't decide what to buy when they wear out.

Wait - which duelers? Revo 2? Enquiring minds want to know.

Don't waste your time with the Duelers HT or AT Revo2's I've had both and they suck. Only thing good I can say about the Duelers is they probably would have lasted 60,000 miles if I didn't destroy them doing a massive burnout when I switched to KM2's.

I had a road tire. The Bridgestone Dueler H/T 840. Great street tires! In fact I still have them. Don't buy them for off road.

I got some Hankook Dynapros and I really like them. No change in MPG and the grip is much better
 
Took the boy into the hills to do some hiking. Snapped a few pics.
