Beats me. Hopefully we can do something before spring.

The VAST trail runs right through my parents property where my trials are, so need to stay out of there till the snows gone. And my truck not street legal, but I dont mind trailing it for good some good terrain. And if its mild...Ill just take the 4runner.

I was at a football game there this fall and saw 3 1st gen Runners and a XJ with a goofy bumper on it in 1 parking lot!
I dont know about three, but there was mine (1986, black on 31 ATs), a senior's (1988, brown on 35" muds), and the XJ has an obnoxious bumper that looks like a cow catcher with an excess of 3" square tubing. My other buddy with an XJ that I wheel with just made an over-the-top bumper too, weighing in at over 150lbs (without a winch).



whats with the excessive square look? hell if i know.......


We're actually going out on some trails this afternoon as soon as I finish up with class and afternoon training. Gonna hit up some class 4 roads near the waitsfield gap, I'll put up some pictures later tonight hopefully!

Manchester, NH here. Ive got a '99 4runner with a bad transmission at the moment. Ive got a replacement in the works for it, then once the tax man comes, im gonna throw an aussie locker on the rear and powertrax limited slip on the front. Also have an OME heavy duty suspension package on the front and rear.

Projects in the works are a 4BD1T (diesel) swap, roof chop, locker/limited slip, rear disk brakes and a new front bumper w/ 10.5k mile marker hydraulic winch

I'm at Norwich University in Northfield, VT.

Im Norwich class of '09 (Corps, of course...what else is there?!) and I ran into the same problem when I was there. I was running a 2004 tacoma 5speed and everyone else only had heeps and they always seemed to have a little trouble keeping up ! I go up to VT once a month and I usually stop in at The Wick either on my way up or on my way home to visit some peeps I still know there. Maybe we all could meet up for a brew sometime! Hit up the Partridge haha

Haha, I'm Corps too (like you said, there's nothing else!) I'm second generation of the new 'rook companies', 10-3-3, but my Drill was original Hotel and my SSG's were Charlie, Delta and Psyco Ico.

Sure you wouldn't wanna go to the Rustic instead?

That's cause the state is run by communists and short bus passengers.
