Lets hear it from the Vancouver Island 4runner nuts
Hey there. I've seen some pretty slick runners in town so far. I'm sure I'm not the only one on the forum. Why don't we get some communications going and we can maybe even get together and see if we can go play in the bush!
Snagged a new (to me) 4Runner, as the motor in my pickup called it quits. Excited to see what the 4Runner can do compared to the truck!
WHat are some peoples favourite trails? I've been exploring the dirt roads beyond Port Renfrew for a couple years, and then also the Oliphant lake area, and Cowichan.
Up next is the Walbran.
Interested to hear where others have explored with their vehicles.
Vancouver island born and raised, finally traded in my old chevy mailbu (my first car, that ended up being my only one...had it ten years now).
Got myself a 2011 Toyota 4Runner SR5 in Salsa Red. I'm definitely crazy about this ride so far. I no literally nothing about vehicles though, or 4x4ing as I haven't ever had the opportunity before. So far I've bombed it up a few logging roads locally and its handled very well even though its not the trail edition.
I think in the future I will definitely try modding it a bit (roof basket, bumper guards, new sliders, plates underneath, etc.
Glad forums like this exist, its cool to see the work other people are doing with theirs and the fun places they're taking them, especially local island folks!
