Oh, there has been known to be a few around!

4x4 Trails.net has a lot listed. The only other one that is not listed that I can't think of is the Rising Sun club which is primarily composed of Land Cruisers.

I myself am not in a club. I usually like to go at it alone. Nobody likes being held up by a camera guy.

Actually, I've been on a couple runs with the Toyota locals. They aren't too bad.

Where do you live?

Another Coloradian Here.(I'm actually a native, if you can believe that! - it's a rare thing these days.)

I assume when you say stay the night - your talkin about in summer Little chilly up in the mountains about now.

There is a annual Colorado 4Runner Jamboree - this summer will be the 3rd annual. Mostly 2nd and 3rd gen 4runners and Tacos but new blood with different types of Toyota are always welcome!

A couple pics from last summer's CO4RJ:

The only Toyota Club I've ever heard mentioned (besides Rising Sun) is Wild Yoats I'm not sure if there is a chapter in Colorado - but on their website there might be opportunities to start your own chapter.

I'm in Lakewood. I, too, am a native.

The Co4RJ sounds like a blast. Heck, maybe by then, I'll have a 1st gen!

It is 30 minutes long, and best viewed if you right click the link and download it to your PC.

You Colorado guys are so lucky. I lived in Denver for 2 years and what a great city and area. I would move back in a second. Denver is one of the best cities I have visited in the US.

I wanna play!

I'd like to find out more about that Colorado 4Runner jambo.

I was a member of two clubs for a while but they were too crazy. I like less-organized stuff now.

Welcome aboard to both LoCore and YoungFellar. How about a semi easy run like Slaughterhouse Gulch , near Conifer. Next Saturday would be good for me. Look in Offroad + event planning, i'll start a topic there where we can discuss who wants to go where when.

What do you drive Young Fellar?

Here's a thread. Let's get something cooking.

Nothing is set yet on the CO4RJ other than the fact that there will be one. I suggested setting Camp Hale near Leadville as a base camp but that would mean some pavement pounding to get between trails and camp. Now I think Montezuma behind Keystone Ski Area would be better. No airing up and down for highway driving every day. Highway driving at trail pressure sux.

I just went there today. Got through with no problem.. it was a blast, there wasn't any parts that could stop me. No bypasses for this stock '86 4Runner.
