I have been without a truck for 3 years and out of touch for a bit longer. I hope to get back on the trails. I picked up a 2019 4Runner and want to see what they can do. Are there any runs happening soon? I travel a lot, but if I am in town, I am interested.

I have White Knuckle Off-Road sliders coming soon and need to mount my winch. Otherwise the truck is ready.

Looking forward to the next meeting.

Cheers.

Mounted the winch yesterday! Was a good day for it. No major issues. Need to test it out on the trail. works in the driveway, but what fun is that?

I had my nephew help who has not wrenched before. He had fun and has the itch to get out to the trails! Inspiring the next generation.

Welcome back, Brian! It will be great to see you.

Most of the club information is now on our Facebook page. I try to relay things when I can (or remember LOL), but I'm not an officer anymore, so it's all second-hand. Here is a link to that page, just to save you from searching: Cascade Cruisers | Tigard OR - https://www.facebook.com/CascadeCruisers

I think you are going to like the 4Runner. I enjoyed mine when I had it. LOL

I see the Facebook page, but not many posts there either.

I am curious on the sway bars. Is there an easy method for disconnecting while wheeling and reconnecting for the road? I saw "quick disconnects" online, but they seem to be some form of sway bar slider and not a true disconnect.

The 40 series never had these, so I am not familiar.

I will be on the road far more than the trail, but want to have the flex on the trail.

Cheers.

What can I say? They are slackers. LOL!

I assume your 4Runner doesn't have KDSS? If it does, don't worry about it. That system works great! If it doesn't, I believe you would have to fab up a quick disconnect system. Personally, I would get it on the trail first and see if it's even needed. As it sits, the 4Runner will flex better than your old 42.

I will be happy if I don't have to mess with disconnects. It does not have KDSS. I do want to get out on the trail! My travel schedule makes that interesting.

March is the Lone Star Land Cruisers Round Up and I will drive down for that, but hope to get it out up here before then.

Are there any plans to get on the trail this weekend or next? I am up for it!

Cheers.

I think everyone is working on their rigs at the moment. LOL!

 

[lorax]

Well! Fine! Seems the trails may come to me if the weather forecast holds for the weekend of the 13th! 10+ inches of snow? I will play on the roads, cause that is safe

I plan to make the meeting. I did get out Saturday during the blizzard and climbed larch mountain in Washington with a group of 7 rigs. Good fun. We were out there way too long. Hit the trail before 10am and back to washougal at 10:30pm.
