Easy solo runs for beginner at GWNF?

I'm extremely bored and haven't done any wheeling yet since i've owned my 4runner. Are there any trails anyone can recommend at GWNF. I don't need any super technical stuff, i just want to get out, scout around and take the 4runner off pavement for once.

Nope, it's not on yet. I just got back from a 37 day trip to asia. I should still be able to hit a few trails without the lift though. I wonder if i should go ahead and order spacers...i have a feeling i wont be happy with just the OME's.

you have the 881s right?

I think overtime, they will sag. My tundra coils sagged overtime that is why I want to put bamachems 3/8"spacer in. Im going to have to order some extended studs again. I can help you do it next weekend if youd like

BTW, i just posted in the other thread, but the 881's are not the correct springs for the 4runner, to get it to sit right, you need 882's, esp if you have a bumper or bumper and winch.

Sounds like you already have them, so i'd say just do a spacer, or, if you like it, then leave it. Just FYI for those of you out there.

preparing to add them in next week with shocks. haven't decided on bilsteins or edelbrock 9000s.

I think i just found this out the hard way. I definitely need some spacers up front. It doesn't look horrible but it could use a little more lift up front. I'm going to order the daystar 1.25" spacers for the front.

Anyway..the lift is done. We managed to do the front and rear plus drop panhard, extended brake line, parking brake reloacation bracket and diff drop in 5 hours.
