I have not posted for some time! I hit the Sierra Rally and met some fantastic folks! #MagicMike and his wife are incredible folks! They not only spent time with me answering questions, they were the Trail Leads. I observed them help and answer questions to anyone who asked. If you are in their area, you are lucky folks!! Honestly I went to the rally not knowing what to expect. My son was at a Scout outing so I rolled alone. They were so helpful and the folks on the trail run were great as well. If you haven’t stepped out of your comfort level... do it! It was so worth it. The members go out of their way to make you feel at home. I’m definitely in for the next rally. Just remember, I think we are all in this forum and joined OB because we all love the rides and the outdoors. Most of us have something in common so it’s so easy to talk to folks!
Now to a little of the build and a few pics of my Lassen Back Country Scenic Trail trip.
You should be able to see the ditch lights installed in a couple of the pics. I also ran electrical back to the rear of the vehicle to run the fridge. I’m running that off the dual battery setup. If you haven’t picked up a Power Tank...Do It!!!! Airing up was so fast and convenient! Buy used to save money!
The first set of pics were from the Rally going up to Bald Mountain.
The others are just a few of my Lassen trip.
Yes. One pic is of my door. #Peligreen Trail.. A couple miles of Manzanita Bushes 1 - 4Runner 0.
Took the 4Runner into a friends shop yesterday and I couldn’t believe how it turned out!
Looks like the next mod will be suspension. Yes...I said it. I know, I know. I have the Pro. I love it. Wait...absolutely Love this vehicle. I just realized the last two trips that I’d like more ground clearance and travel. The vehicle is fairly heavy with the tent and other accessories in the rig. When you add the rest of the equipment, food I packed it was fairly loaded down. Exploring those idea now. More to come!
