Hello Portland Folks!

Long-time/multiple generation Tacoma owner needed more interior space so I made the jump to a 2021 Off-Road.

Almost reached 100 miles and all smiles.

Looking forward to learning, contributing and maybe even cruising some FR and trails with local folks!

 

Welcome from Wisconsin!

 

welcome

 

Welcome and congrats!

 

Portland is still around?

 

Welcome.

 

Let's get some Portland 4Runners pics posted. Want to see if we can spot each other around town! Im in Portland.

 

Maybe it's the Toyota docks on the Willamette being a port of entry but it's a sea of 4R's in NW Oregon.

 

Im in Beaverton, welcome to the club! My ORP has 650 miles on it...

 

Hi from Beaverton! Just crossed 1000 miles a few days ago. Already planning how to pack it for this year’s Oregon Star Party in August. Downsizing from a 2000 Expedition and hoping everything will fit.

 

Welcome

 

Omg that’s some funny shit right there

 

Welcome from northern NY. Congratulations on your new ride.

 

Can you take pictures through that thing

 

Yup! I got started back in the 70s as a kid. Worked for our local museum (OMSI) and got hooked on astrophotography. Used film back then with single hour+ exposures guided by eye and the results weren't great. With digital cameras and computer processing the exposures are only a few minutes each and you can combine them for a longer total exposure and reduced noise. Much better results. Took this one last summer of M27 (Dumbbell/Apple Core Nebula):

 

Late to the game myself. I am in Beaverton. Picked up a OR-P last month. I have about 1300 miles on it already.

 

Did yours come with the black overloays for the logos? Also, did you replace the fog lights already?

 

I put the overlays and I had some laminx left over for my fog lights for my tacoma and used it on the 4runner.

 

Thanks...did you get the overlays from the dealer? I also bought laminix for my fog lights...

 

I purchase it on ebay OE overlays.

 

Welcome and that's two pieces of really nice equipment.
I've always been intrigued by astrophotography but with so many other pursuits never got into it. Getting over to the dark skies of Eastern Oregon is always something I enjoy.

 

We still have some of the darkest skies in the country east of the mountains. The Oregon Star Party is held in the Ochoco National Forest east of Prineville. The view of the stars and Milky Way from there is amazing.

 

You've likely been there, but stars viewed from the Alvord playa on a dark night are unforgettable. Faint stars down to the horizon with almost no dimming. Too bad they F'ed up the hot springs bath house....glad we got to experience starry nights there before the 'improvements'.

 

Thanks to the both of you, I now have two more places to add to my list...
