I have noticed more and more people interested in learning 4x4ing and taking stock vehicles out on runs. Alot of you who want to start out seem to worry about joining up with people who are heading out on hardcore runs with heavily modified rigs. I understand this as my 4Runner is stock and my daily driver and most everyone I meet or go with is running a lifted locked jumbo tired trail killer
. I have no problem with running with the big guys but I do feel the stress of keeping up with them and so does my vehicle.
What I am getting to is this if anyone is interested in a basic simple offroad run (that would bore the hell out of non stock vehicles) I am up for it. I know of a few places for day trips and would share them if anyone is interested. I am talking about simple runs that involve FSR up to scenic viewpoints. Runs that involve cross ditches and small rock crawls.
I know the fun of getting somewhere I thought I could not. This applies to all types of vehicles the difference is the terrain conquerd. I know solid axle is king IFS sucks, I know lockers and boggers are mandatory and I know that gear/torque/horsepower need to be maxed but is the fun any different? I think not, we all get a kick out of what we drive and what it can do.
Stockers unite!
