Well, not new new, but new to me.

Bought an '06 Sport Edition on Sunday.

Hoping to learn from the forum and maybe meet up with some other locals.

 

Welcome! Where in Central CA are you located?

 

Welcome to the family

 

Located in Modesto.

Already looking at so many ideas I want to do...

 

Hey all, I am new to the Yotatech, and new to toyota. Just bought a 85 runner, 22re sr5 and I am loving it!!! The truck was already set up for crawling. 529, 33's, winch, rock lights, cb, and a marlin crawler third stick, cam ect. I am really looking forward to hitting the trails of NorCal. The truck has 271k on it, the engine was rebuilt about 80k ago. Please let me know what trails I should be hitting first!! and what I should do/look for on my new truck. ie: problems, other possible up grades i could do to the truck to make it more off road worthy and still keep it street-able.

 

nice man. solid axle stock is highly coveted in the toyota off road world. where in norcal are you? Highly recomend this book. http://www.4x4books.com/gtcan.htm Good info and simple stupid instructions on how to get there.

 

I am located in Santa Cruz Ca, I am about a hour from Hollister. I am looking on going wheeling this coming weekend, the 24th though the 26th of this month. I really have not tested out the rig yet so I want to go somewhere that is relatively easy, but fun enough so I won't get board. (ie: no fire roads) I have had some 4X4 experience in AZ, CO and Southern Cali, but nothing major. Never needed a winch or extreme articulation, just some minor rock crawling(az), river fording(2-3 ft.), and some pretty difficult up hill action.(socal). Can anyone suggest something close to Santa Cruz that I could go to and test out my new 85?

Thanks skoti89, for the book recommendation, I already ordered it from amazon.

 

Hey everyone in Nor Cal, can anyone suggest a good drive line shop in the santa cruz - san jose area? I have a very minor drive line vibration when I hit 60 ish on the speedo? There are drive line shops here in santa cruz, however none of them are really toyota specialist or are able to handle off-road applications like mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
