Where did you go with your Mini Truck or 4Runner this week? (8 Viewers)

You doing up an old church?

That’s an optimistic load for that truck

That would be the neighbor’s... we regraded our yard so we spread and reseeded. It looks more impressive than it is - pretty fluffy

chased some stage rally cars at the 2019 Oregon Tail Rally
also got to flat tow a car ~50mph a few miles down a stage road (which is a bit faster than I used to be able to)

We logged roughly 350 miles driving around southern oregon.
Merlin to gold beach via bear camp road.
Gold beach to Bandon to Winston to Canyonville to Tiller and home again.
Pics only from day 1.

A bit more information on my Michigan adventure.

Michigan "Adventure"

The mission: Meet inlaws in Michigan for a family reunion of sorts. Take the long way. Drive through new states. Camp, dispersed when available. I left after the breakfast and started to head north. Google said to jump on the freeway. Drive to Oklahoma City. Stay on a freeway to St. Louis., up...

Drove it for 45 seconds. Love it. Can't wait to get my engine situation figured out. Truck drives tight and suspension must've been replaced at some point

"Patty" - my new-to-me '94 Pickup - made her first visit to ACC Garage. These guys have worked on my FJ Cruiser and Land Cruiser since 2008.

And so the "resurrection" begins!

In the siskyous near the or/ca border.

 

[D21FJ60]

Rolled down the back window and sat on the tailgate. Still waiting for appropriation of funds for motor replacement...

Crater lake.

Badwater Death Valley, Aug 4, 6:15AM, 97° (forecast was for a peak of 121°, we didn't stay to find out):

Visited the lowest place in KA that you can drive to, Badwater Death Valley @ -282 feet, and the highest place in CA that you can drive to, Barcroft Station @ 12,470 feet, in one day via mostly dirt roads.

A/C failed on the drive out there, so 3 days in ~100° heat with no A/C. Just like old times!

Some other shots from the trip:

A friend’s birthday bash on Blanca peak this week. Old junk up high

The body shop! Just back from dropping off the doors and fenders. The shop owner said "Oh, they're in great shape. We'll redo that and fix that, but yeah... these are better than I expected." They're pulling the flatbed frame off to better access the cab too. I'm kinda glad the body shop doesn't have a webcam... I'd waste all day checking in on it

Ouray, Colorado. With High Desert Cruisers.

Damn Pappy - the truck, the scenery... you're killing me! Awesome 4Runner and beautiful setting!

If I had seen that I would have remembered, and probably run you off the road to chat.
