i mean, TBF, you did it on a 3rd gen without regearing. the 3rd gen is slow with stock tires.

was going to say this. I've towed a bunch of newer vehicles out of snow banks at backcountry skiing trailheads. the tow point is almost always hidden in the bumper behind a small square paint matched panel, and the hook itself is usually in the trunk by the spare. you have to open the panel in...

this has kind of been touched on but...for that budget you could get a really nice 3rd gen, or a good 4th gen. 3rd gens look way better, get better MPG, are way "cooler" imo, and due to being smaller and having a shorter turn radius and wheelbase, are better trail rigs. However, 3rd gens suck as...

hey mike. yeah it's me. I'm full nomad again. Left Denver in March. currently visiting my family on the east coast. headed back west in a week, give or take. prob headed out to Taos and then up through Durango/Ouray. Thinking about moving to Idaho or Montana for the summer for biking and...

yeah i'm not running a heavy rig. 2019 4runner, no armor yet but I plan to get sliders soon. Just me and my dog and maybe 300 pounds of gear. I actually wish some of these came in a C load in 285, as E's ride harsh on a 4runner.

what is it that you don't like about them?

I had the truck Blizzaks on my 98 4runner two winters ago and they were amazing. Never lost traction no matter how much snow or ice there was. but they went bald FAST. I plan to try out some Nokians next. The Maxxis tires look cool. good reviews. I'd have to order them from 4 Wheel Parts...

I most likely will do snows in the winter. I just need to find something that lasts longer than Blizzaks. I burnt up a brand new set in one winter last year, while living at 9000' in the mountains during a very snowy winter.

yeah I think unless I get the Falkens, I will probably get dedicated snow tires for winter. I dunno where I'll be this winter, but most likely somewhere with real winter so I can ski.

Hey folks. I'm in a 5th gen 4runner, TRD ORP. Will have a 2.5-3" lift. Wheels are 17x9 with a pretty sizeable offset. Looking to pick up some tires, currently still on stockers after a failed attempt at running used tires off of Craigslist. I live in the west. I'm in CO/AZ/NM/UT mostly. I have...

Yeah I dunno. The dude I bought it from rebuilt the drive train completely and added EFI. I tracked a lot of tanks of gas various ways and it always came out to be between 10-12. Although the 460 sounded awesome, and some days it was hard to keep off the gas. Those trips came out more like 8mpg.

i'm also out west and do a lot of high elevation trails. that's still crazy to me. I was getting 10-12 mpg in my e350 doing high elevation trails in CO. like 12k'+

yeah i thought about the turning around thing. 10mpg, that's crazy. that's what I got in my 91 E350 4x4 with a 4" lift and 35's. and that had a 460 V8 in it. I'm starting to wish I had kept that and put a pop top on it and bought a RZR or something.

sorry for the late response. I'm traveling and not near my computer more than once every few days and my phone barely works in AZ and NM. the main reason I was thinking about a trailer of some sort is not having to unpack my truck to have space to sleep in it. I would prefer some solution that...

I used to work in Grand Teton NP and saw evidence of grizzly activity everywhere. Then I heard a segment on NPR about people being killed by bears while camping. They played an audio clip someone recorded of two people being literally torn apart by a grizzly in their tent. I still hear those...

I kind of figured. that's a cool trailer.

thanks, I didn't even think of renting. No, my 4runner is stock at the moment. Just some A/T tires and the Yakima. stock wheel size, stock height, stock rack. It's kind of ridiculous how capable a stock TRD 4runner is. I will be lifting it in the future, as I've bashed the ******** out of my skid...

oh i should add that while I'm mostly on fire roads on this trip, I generally do a lot of offroading up to about a 7 out of 10 difficulty rating, and would love to be able to take whatever setup I get out to the most remote areas down gnarly trails and setup as a base camp there.

Hey folks, I'm nomadic currently and sort of halfway living in my 2019 4runner TRD ORP with my big ol dog. We just finished the AZBDR and are currently in Flagstaff visiting a lady friend that lives here. I say halfway because when I'm not on out on the trail, we've been staying with friends or...

rust?
