What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

‘TY Gman2530

 

Took my wife for a trail ride today and had opportunities to use 4 hi, 4 lo, and locked the rear differential, and in general appreciate my truck more than ever. We still have a ton of trees down from a spring ice storm in northern michigan. Plus with recent rains there are plenty of water holes. So a lot of trails have trees down that drivers (mostly 4 wheelers and side by sides) had opened up but not very wide. In places i had to manually move trees (didn’t take my chainsaw, but could have used it) and pull in the side mirrors. And i ran into large mud holes and loose sand hills. My previous full size truck or for that matter this 4runner with a high mounted top light bar would have never made it through the tight spots and low hanging branches unscathed. I probably do have a couple new pin stripes under the layers of dirt too, lol. We even ran into a logging operation on one trail that completely obliterated the trail in a sea of skidder tracks. In other words a very fun day for this old fart and my wife.
