I like your thinking, trying to get the missus convinced that we need a 4x4 as well! But for now we're staying with the bikes until I get a chance to show her!
Have you taken the GS off road much yet?

Welcome! That's a great looking 4Runner and you will definitely find a lot of information here on OB. This is a great group, free of some of the drama and politics of other groups/forums. Folks really do appreciate everyone's vehicles and are so helpful. I was never a part of Cal Guns forums, but I would go on the website at times and search things. I like reading gun forums, but man they just get way too political for me. :-(Hello everyone. I am the new owner of a 4runner Trail and this seems to be the place to gain a mountain of knowledge. I am a complete newb to this area but hoping to change that and get out and explore. I think this forum will be much more educational then BARF or Cal Gunsand if you belong to both those forums, we need to talk! I am located in the SF Bay Area , yea I know...]
I actually was in San Carlos for a while, that's where I first joined and met Mike and Corrie (well, it was on the highway - haha). I still work in Foster City, but now just head to the office a couple times a quarter. The SF Bay Area has tons of members and it's a beautiful place, but I'm happy to be gone. ;-)
Looking forward to seeing more of your 4Runner! [emoji1303]

Haha thanks!! It's been a very slow build but i feel it's close to completion (well nothing is ever complete but complete enough to hit the trails)
It has definitely come a long way since the day a bought it!!

G'day chris! Another fellow Aussie sydneysider!! Roughly where in sydney are you?

My wife is up for a short ride on the bike, but anything longer than a couple of hours and we need a car for sure. Wish I could get her to start riding on her own as she would probably enjoy it more- so I'm jealous you have that already! I've done some mild off-roading a handful of times on the bike- mostly fire roads or graded dirt, but wanting to do more. Most of my riding is paved with a few thousand-mile trips AZ, WY, UT and ID.
soooooo, turns out I only love this Forester in the after pictures! Ha! That is an amazing build, especially considering where you started

Wow you've completely transformed that machine. I'm not sure I would have had the vision you had to make it happen. Looks really amazing now!
Thanks!!
I have another forester as well so that's where my love for the Subaru Forester started

Hey Guys, I'm Derek. I've been following OB on youtube for a while now and never really looked at the site. I've been driving things where they don't normally go since before puberty. I started with a 2004 Montero Sport when I was 17. Camping, Hiking, pushing fuel ranges too far... I took a hiatus from my career in 2015 to go drive Hummers and RZRs for High Point Hummer in Moab where I learned to really handle a machine offroad. Now I'm on the 2007 Hummer H3 ATLAS and I'm extremely impressed with it's capabilities. My friends always have jokes for me, but I'm happy with the "Widow Maker." BTW her name is a different story.

Hi everybody Ed here! Novice out of Santa Barbara. Currently running a 2013 Nissan Frontier 4x4 SV aka Lafawnduh. No real mods yet other than the hefty fab works engine skid plate and buying the necessary recovery equipment. Only picture I have of my rig at the moment from taking my kids and nephew exploring in the hills near the house. Will start a build thread once I save up to start on the more serious mods.
STI swap in this one??Thanks!!
