Thanks!
Got a locker in yours? It's a night and day difference! I wouldn't attempt much rock crawling unless you have at least one locker....
Houston sucks when it comes to off-roading! Gota drive about 4 to 6 hours to get anywhere good.

Hi, I'm in the NW Houston area and I have an '01 4Runner 4x4. It's presently in stock condition (except slightly larger rubber on 16" rims) and I slowly plan upgrading. Does any one have or know of someone with a used plate bumper like a ranch hand style of sorts they'd like to part with? I'm also looking at lifting my 4Runner an inch or two.

Tony

Good to hear of a group of 4x4 toyota lovers in the Houston Area. Too bad I live about 20 minutes east of Beaumont. If I see a post of a planned trip, I may chime in. My Runner is always ready, the wife and kids aren't though

Houston does kind of suck for any kind of off roading. I got to try the good stuff out in west Texas and NM.

[QUOTE=TURBOLIZE

Sugar Hill, its a little place that used to be a junk yard, then a golf course, now its a free for all OHV Park. 10 bucks a person, west houston.

Its a fun spot, has some water running in the middle for a mud pit, check it out.

I still want to find something a bit larger though, IMO...

hey that's sounds pretty close enough, we should try going there some day. I heard there's an off road park called creekside edge in splendora, tx like an hour away. Do that sugar hill place have their own website?

I have been to creekside a few times. I recommend going after it rains. It is very sandy/dusty there when its dry. Its not much of a place but its someplace to go without the law showing up.
