    Trail Day Up Nort

    It was that time of the year again where a bunch of us got together and tamed the national forest. Since the usual trail is closed for the next couple of years for repair, we had to find other places to roam. Someone suggested a trail that they had traveled in the past so we gave it a go. It...

    Porsche Cayenne Off Road

    Wife was looking for a car for my daughter and she stumble across a Porsche in the price range. She thought I might be interested, so I went down the rabbit hole. The first-generation Porsche Cayenne (VW Touareg) looks to have a low-range gearbox, available rear locker, fatty V8 and is...

    Going to be a good snow season

    Drove up north earlier this week to bring my daughter home from college for the holidays. Ran into some snow on the way there and arrived to a couple of feet that had fallen the week or two prior. The conditions were just right for snow to collect on everything. Wet and heavy enough to take...

    Got the Cheese dirty

    After some rain, figured the forest would be muddy and fun. Not as much mud as I expected, but did get pretty frikkin’ dirty. Also got a little more aggressive with the truck, trying some stuff I hadn’t before. Did some more technical crawling and climbing, but not so much as to damage...

    Powder Coat Lifespan?

    When I bought my bumper, I got it I coated. I took it to a local powder coater to get done. I’ve noticed after this winter that some rust is starting to surface. It looks like it’s bleeding through the powder. I thought powder was supposed to be the shizzle. Is it not? Am I just going to...

    Stellar Built Body Mount Relocation

    Any of you left-coasters familiar with this outfit? Looks like it moves a fair bit of metal out of the way before having to remove a lot more. https://trail4runner.com/2022/01/19/body-mount-relocation-on-5th-gen-toyota-4runner-install-overview/

    Did a little snow wheeling this weekend

    Wasn’t expecting to drive through an early season snowstorm to get there, but man was it gorgeous. There were some challenging rock formations out there in the forest, but I’d have done some damage without under armor. One of the other guys had 34s and armor on his and did the rock climbing...

    Beadlocking Wheels

    Hi all, I know some of you are hard-core crawlers and some stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Just was watching a video on an upcoming Icon wheel that is kind of a different spin on the beadlocking wheel. Regardless of your opinion of Icon (I know some of you have strong feelings)...

    Article: "A City Ordinance Just Banned 4x4 Events in Moab"

    Just read this post on the socials. I dunno, it seems a little alarmist and click-baity to me. It seems as though the underlying story is that Moab passed ordinances to keep OHVs off the highway and such (as opposed to street-legal registered vehicles), presumably for safety reasons. But the...

    I know some of you must have done Rubicon

    Watching these videos makes it look like loads of fun (albeit stressful). I'm gonna need bigger rubbers. And checkbook.

    We got COVID, yes we do... we got COVID, how ‘bout you?

    Wisconsin is one of the country’s hot spots right now. They just virtualized the kid’s school because many of the staff are out sick and they can’t get enough subs. My facility is closed until January at the earliest and I don’t go back until March sometime. On Wisconsin!

    Northern Wisconsin trail ride in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest

    Took a day trip up north yesterday to meet some guys for a trail ride somewhere in the forest. These guys were a small collection from the Wisco collective in TW (don’t hate). Seven of us altogether, two 5G 4Runners and the rest Tacomas. It was a good trip because the guy who was leading us...
