Hey guys, this is my first thread on YotaTech. I have been a member for a few months just reading and viewing photos/videos from all you wonderfull toyota people.
This week is spring break for some of us that are in school and a few buddys and I went on a little trip to Tygh Vally Oregon for some camping and wheelin. We had a good time even though it was only one night. I picked up a little damage to my rear bumper, I was not too happy about that but it was all in good fun. I have pictures of the damage in the link. The 4Runner is mine and the pickup is my buddy's. Let me know what you think. Thanks guys and any suggestions for my Runner or just in general would be great

Oh ya almost forgot, My clutch starting spining on me as I was heading up a road hill on the way there. I had to pull over and let it cool down before I was able to continue on. The clutch has been making some sounds and this was the first time this sort of spining had happend. I was pretty easy on her when we were wheelin so I didnt get any real real good pictures. I didnt wanna burn out my clutch and be stranded almost 2 hours from home. The rear bumper carnage happend because I wanted to make sure I had enough momentum and wouldnt have to worry about getting too stuck and burning out the clutch. I made it home fine and now I have to spend $365 dollars on a new clutch



It started snowing on us... By the time we left for to head home there was an inch or so, news reports said something about 5-6 inches had fallen the day we left. I wish we could have stayed another night

First two things to buy for the truck if you want to offroad more seriously.

1. Rock Sliders
2. Rear Bumper

Those are the two areas that see the most action in my experience. You've already got the rear bumper action and that's fine but if you ever bend up the rocker panels it's going to suck.

Nice looking Runner.

 

Cool runner. Are you locked?

 

where is that... it looks fun...

 

Nope not locked yet. I was planing on it this summer when I start making some more money so we will see what happens. Thanks for the comment.

 

Its in Tygh Vally Oregon, um just about 30 mins or so south of the dalles. Its kind of a big hunting/camping spot. The roads were not to bad dry, most were conqured in 2wd. On the second day of the trip after it had been snowing for a number of hours everything became very sloppy and 4wd was needed due to slippery mud.

 

sweet... i'll have to check it out when i am back home this summer (portland)... have you wheeled at Browns yet?

 

Ya I was up at Browns Camp a few months ago. We only went on a few trails but we had a good time. I have a few pictures, nothing special I can post later. We were planing on heading down there soon but we will see what happens.
Are going to school out of state or something?

 

yeah i am going to the University of the Pacific in stockton.. but my dad lives in the beaverton/hillsboro area

 

Thats cool, I graduated from Parkrose High School in NE portland. You have prob heard of it we were in the news last year for a "gang" fight in school that invoulved alot of people heh...
Thanks for the comments

 

Cool, looks like fun. Nice looking runner!

 

Cool pics! How about some more info on your Runner and that other pick up?

 

Most of my info on my Runner is in my sig, if there was something spacific you wanted to know pm me. The pickup is my buddys, he just bought it. It's a 91 with 33x12.50 mt/s, i'm not to sure on what type of wheels he has(i don't think he asked) and it has i'm guessing a 1 or 2 inch body lift, other then that its pretty much stock. Thanks for the comments.
