Left for Big Bend in a Jeep... came home a 4Runner owner.

Congrats on your new ride.

You can tell by my profile pic that we love the Big Bend area and visit every chance that we get.

Beautiful shot and same here! Only wish I weren't on the opposite end of the state from it!

Sharing an update that came sooner than I'd planned! I installed skid plates yesterday and despite being told that my flat black TRD wheels on order were backordered, it turned out they had them after all and had those and some Wildpeak AT4W's installed today and all is right in the world. I know many opt to size up, but I actually love the stock 265/70 R18 size for all of my purposes, so stuck with that. And as an added bonus, my new hitch rack (RockyMounts Guiderail) showed up this evening as well and it's incredibly nice!

If you want to go into the bush, take a ???. If you want to get out of the bush, take a toyota

slight spin on the Australian saying

original saying ...

If you want to go into the bush, take a Land Rover. If you want to get out of the bush, take a Land Cruiser.

It certainly took me longer than maybe it should have, but I’m here now!

I think it looks great w the stock size wheel/tire package. I know this is not a popular opinion, but some of the giant wheel/tire/lift builds look cartoonish to me.
When my OR comes in I'm going to replace the stock w K03s and leave it at that.

Great story! I am coming from a Subaru Outback Wilderness and towed a similar sized square drop. About ~1500 dry, but it’s tongue heavy as it has a slide out kitchen up front. Do you get any squat in back when towing?

Nice! Our teardrop’s tongue weight is proportional to its overall weight so that was never an issue for me. On the ORP I definitely don’t get any squat and it’s as if there’s nothing back there while towing!

Forums colliding! I thought this story sounded familiar, then realized I had read an abridged version of it on Plans
