Afternoon snow run MICHIGAN 2/26

Here are some shots I took while out trailin behind the g/f's house. Had a great time, nearly framed the truck on a dirt pile. I was teetering on 2 wheels.

just outside the entrace


the pile i nearly rolled the truck on


me showing how there is air under there, it was 1ft off the ground. but i backed off a little with fear of rolling it.


the pile


trailin'











the best one!

no problems at all! it was a little over a foot of snow and I was the 1st and only truck back there. I've been really impressed with these tires and will be buying the same ones again when I need em.

Great pics!

I have 2 questions though.

First, what did you hit with that front bumper!?!

Second, Why don't you have your 4runner in your sig! The stang is nice but the 4runner is where its at.

okay the bumper, a tree @15-20 mph. it drove away from it, good ole work horse.

the 4runner started as just basic transportation, i just knew they were reliable and held value well. that an i got the deal of a lifetime on it, so even if it was a pathfinder i'd found i would have taken it. but the runner has treated me very well and its getting nearly all the desrved attention now. but sadly no mods have been done yet, just maintinence and little things.

I cant wait to go out trailin an meet up w/ some of ya'll I usually go alone so I dont push it too much.

Well Tim, hope you enjoyed today, I'll get pics posted of all the fun, and so you know after you left we got more trucks stuck, scott rolled the samuri on its side, and that el camino on 44's was still burried to the windows when we left. Damage count is as follows:
my 4Runner: needs alignment and a pass side rear view mirror.
Jakes Dodge: scraped the fender on the jeep, needs an alignment real bad.
Bens 4Runner: just that ripped of piece of the rear bumper.
Jeep: Door + tree incident, front bumper and lights from jakes truck hitting it
Samuri: needs a dr. side mirror from rolling it.
Chad's Blazer: needs the bull bar kinda reattached, may need an alignment
your 4Runner: you were the only one to walk away untouched (go you!)

For all those that didn't join, sorry you couldn't make it, we had a blast for ya.
