5th gen 4Runners in scenic locations

Devils Tower back July 2021. What a cool place. Had to glamour shot the 4runner for sure. This is on the way out where all teh prairie dogs live. We stopped to check them out. They will pretty much crawl in your car if you let them.

 

On the Yuma Army Proving Grounds coming out of the canyon from hell that dead-ended in a box canyon after a horrific off-camber descent.

 

Looks like you had a blast!

 

Oceano Dunes @ Pismo Beach

 

Sick build! I am pretty local to you in southern NH! how did you secure the aluminum boxes and out of curiosity what kind of mpgs do you get with that setup?

 

Thanks! The Zarges Boxes are u-bolted through the bottom and hook into the rack below. I’m getting about 16ish right now. I don’t usually leave the boxes and RTT on though so MPGs go up to around 17-18 with them off.

 

Looks awesome! I get 16 around town with just the gobi rack and conservative driving...

 

Route 66 in Arizona yesterday.

 

Very cool. Where about did you take this pic on Rt 66?

 

Hume Lake, Kings Canyon NP

 

I think it wad just off the 93. Been so many places this week, I'm losing track, lol.

Drove by the Bonneville Salt Flats yesterday...

 

Were they too wet to drive onto this time of the year? I've been on them a couple times (last year the latest), highly recommend hitting a car wash after to get all the salt off lol

 

Definitely too wet. I thought it was a lake, lol.

 

Oh wow, this is so nice!

 

Been there, done that! Done the "Mother Road" from Santa Monica to Albuquerque so far in mt 2019 SR5. Want to do the whole shebang before I pass!

Earle's in Gallup has the BEST Indian Tacos and green chile salsa!

 

Mammoth Lakes, CA

 

Nice!
The roof rack sure holds onto a lot of snow!

 

I'm surprised you could find your car...I heard Mammoth got like 30 feet of snow in a day or two.

 

When were you there? We're heading south in a month or so along 395. Guess stopping at Bodie is out!

How was Manzanar?

 

Hi! This was Sunday morning on Mammoth Scenic Loop near 395. We were doing well, but there was a Dodge Durango that got beached right at the gate and we couldn’t get around. Had to backtrack and wait on 203 until 395 opened later that morning. Manzanar was dusted with snow. Never saw that before.

 

You'll need a snowmobile, not a 4Runner....https://www.yahoo.com/news/ghost-town-buried-7-feet-170135491.html

 

Thanks! We have several relatives in poor health (at least one is terminal), so we try to get down to OC and parts at least once a year. We were going to go down I-5 and then over to Victorville/Apple Valley but that is an even greater mess.

 

Saw that! Guess we'll just sit at Schatz's

 

Right behind my house in the Sonoma Range in Nevada....

 

Somewhere near Rifle Colorado.Tried going up in the mountains but wayyyyy too muddy to be on sheer cliff roads.

 

Got it tuned.

 

Here’s to the House of Bourbon

 

Which one did you go with?

 

You're in my neck of the woods. I live about 20 miles from Beam.

 

Checking out the early wildflower bloom in Joshua Tree NP. Along Cottonwood Spring Road.
