Mine's been good to me too, keep dreaming of the 4th gen runner but this one's been too good to let go. Life has been getting in the way the last few years to be able to get out and find some good trails but I am committed to giving it a try this year. I know there's some around Grande Cache and Tumbler Ridge, would like to give those a go.

lol sean sargent i used to do all their remote starts last winter when i was with visions. how are the pot holes up there this year?
You've obviously spent time around here! Pot holes aren't what they were last year but still and obstacle course to drive around! Most people rig up their trucks to head to the outdoors, we have to do it to get to the grocery store here!

Hahaha... I usually read them as they come through my emails - this was one I guess that didn't make it? I hate how only 1 email comes through until you check it... blah. Thanks for the info - didn't know they had stock issues.

Yep, National4wd is good, I've dealt with them. There is a shop in Fredericton NB as well, for all you East Coast'ers. Their website is kinda crappy (doesn't show much selection at all), they can get WAAAAY more stuff than what the website shows (tires / wheels / bumpers/ lifts, etc), give them a call they are good to deal with.

I'm from Oakville

My 4runner is getting quite old and i'm not sure if it's capable of handling the trails. I drive a 98 SR5 with 360k on the odometer and a few electrical problems.

i'm missing a front anti roll bar linkage and that linkage just costs way to much to replace it's like 250 from toyota

are there any good places to get OEM parts for our 4runner in canada preferable in the GTA. I need to get a replacement rear bumper damn chrome dents to easily

Missing the front link? You can make it out of all-thread and some lock nuts... just a trip to brafasco...
or 4crawler.com makes some killer disconnects, http://4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/...#DisconnectsV2 you can copy that idea or buy them...
OEM parts dealers? Eh... that'd be tough, just the stealer.... personally when i need to replace, i usually upgrade....

If you know of trails between Medicine Hat and Calgary I'd be willing to meet somewhere in between. Or if you are in Calgary you are welcome to PM me and we could do some great mountain trails if you are interested. Rdang is another yotatech, Calgary, member who might be interest in going for a romp in the woods/mountains too. This is all for when you come back from Belize of course.

Cheers,
Denny
