Our Cars (dream or actual)

@Danimal506 yeah dude there’s nothing like an offroading community bro. I’ve had my fair share of trail damage (my passenger doors are still busted til this day,) but it’s just part of the story. (This is what I tell myself every night to justify not replacing the doors and instead buying $400 jeans.)
I’m more of a camper myself, I don’t mind being in the dirt and taking trails but I stay away from mud the most I can now (starter got water damage in the middle of nowhere and don’t wanna go through that again.) and I don’t ever rock crawl cause there’s not much rock crawling here in Florida (and honestly I probably wouldn’t do it regardless, I always find a way to mess something up.) lol
@catdad1 dude there’s nothing like that army green man, I absolutely love that color. Congrats on almost paying it off dude, I have about another 30k on mine unfortunately lol. I bought mine when 4Runners were at their peak and I had a $8k rollover from my Audi so I kind of got screwed lol. Regardless, I love the truck still worth it!
I haven’t been in the last couple months but me and my buddies go off roading pretty often. It’s definitely fun, the 5 hour car washes are what’s not fun haha, but like I mentioned above - I prefer just overlanding / camping more than anything. I’m huge on state parks and stuff.
Fun fact - I actually lived in my 4runner for 6 months. Did an entire build and everything, it was a cool experience.

@jfive67 you’re living my dream dude.
-
@jfive67 this has been my dream since 2000. I bet it drives amazing!
@worn2fade that sounds like a wild time for 6 months! I've always wanted to drive around the country and see where the road takes us, just harder these days. No doubt the in depth scrubs are worth the smiles per gallon though.

@worn2fade I know what you mean about getting stuck out somewhere. I cracked the transmission of that Subaru on a rock out in the desert, might have been this trip.

I don't consider myself an off-roader nor an overlander, but I love getting off-pavement and camping in far-flung places. I've had my G55 for almost 10 years now and have been all over the western US camping and road tripping, most recently in Death Valley and Plumas National Forest.

@SonnyTheElder LET'S GO!!!
What year is your G55? I recently sold my '96 Land Cruiser and picked up an '03 G55. As you likely know the provenance of these cars is quite incredible, and they're really solid off road. I am still working to get over the attention (positive and negative) they attract, and I'm considering making a bumper sticker that says 'not a complete prick' and 'vanishing riches'.
If you're in the Portland, OR area hit me up -- I'm learning to wrench on this beast and I have a few projects lined up.

@Inorganic damn dude it’s hard not too….. what’s amazing is how easy it is to control when the tires are a little lit up
. Car makes a total novice like me feel like Schumacher or something. -

@Inorganic nutzo is accurate. At full throttle it really has some kind of an episode….
Cornering good , it’s essentially the “track” version of the car.

This seems a bit excessive https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a65790247/guntherwerks-project-f26-details/
Think it, be it.
