Vermejo’s Travel Log - 2011

Corey

The New Mexico Backroads 4Runner is featured in the July/August issue of 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine. The cover shot is of me piloting the NMBR 4Runner through a boulder field on the Rocotillo Rapids trail. The “extreme” rated trail is located in the Chile Canyons northwest of Las Cruces. In the six-page article, I describe the evolution of the NMBR 4Runner over the past five years.

The 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine article highlights how I built the NMBR 4Runner for dual purposes: rock crawling and expedition type travel. Amongst a long list of modifications, the truck is equipped with 35-inch tires, dual lockers, underbody protection and custom bumpers. These components allow the NMBR 4Runner to traverse technical trails and still cruise on the highway at 75mph. Visit the image galleries of New Mexico Backroads and you will quickly realize variety of terrain and varying conditions to which the truck is subject.

Congrats on the coverage in T4WDO, Jake. I'm going to have to get a copy of that... All the best to you and Luka.

Those shots look great! Keep up the good work I love seeing the local pics. I just love the old truck and dog.
