Recently I was up at my cabin deep in the Canadian Shield, and decided to do some exploring. I've been putting off my lift amd tire's for sometime now...I always see pics people post with there modified 4Runner's....and I just wished mine would be complete already. Here's a few pics from 4x4 in the bush

We had a private road build 8years ago. Before we had a road we would have to take a train to the lake. We are located in a rather remote area in Canada and often fallen tree's come across the road.




One area of the road branches off to an old hiking trail that leads to an abandoned WW2 airfield. It was used as an emergency landing zone in case when comming back to Canada the planes would have somewhere to land in the dense forest.





Then well climbing some hills I came across this old foundation in the them middle of the forest. I believe its from an old Ranger station or Trapper's cabin.



Then I found an old cement foundation from an old hydro station or Ranger tower.








Anyway...thats all I have uploaded...hopefully I get my lift on soon and i'll be able to explore different area's that I'm not able to do as of now.

 

Exploring is always fun, and a stock 4Runner can go more places than you'd think. Where on the shield are you situated?

 

I'm in South-East Manitoba near the Ontario border.

 

The funny thing is that you can tell by the tree transitions! Its always funny driving to Weinerpeg since once you hit the ON/MB border the tree line changes instantly.

 

LoL YeP

 

Godzilla, spellcheck...it's Winnerpeg! ha

 

Really? Ooops, i see my mistake now..Weinerpig.. That better?

 

That's it! I know a couple of them up here...

 

great shots thanks for sharing. good looking dog

My stock Runner takes me everywhere I need. out here.But I know my limits-she is my daily driver.

My lift is here also and will be installed in a couple of weeks or so.

Not to be stupid, but here goes, I don't understand what is meant by the "shield" reference, is that the mountainous area of the Rockies or ?

Perhaps I am thinking too literally....

 

Beautiful dog, I have a Border Collie myself. She is still a puppy. Sorry about the hi jack. Just don't see to many people w/ them around here.

 

LoL...here's a couple more ---> '

He stole one of my beer's at the cabin


This is my old border-collie Phantom...he had to be put down in September.


And this is my new puppy 9months old. His name is ________ Hemi lol. My mother named him!

 

Umm the canadian shield is just a remote area of forest and granite over a very large region.

 

thanks Jay204 for that explanation

and I guess we all need to make a thread

"here is my dog"

 

Yeah possibly......i'm sure a lot of 4Runner owner's have dogs that enjoy off roading as much as there owners!
