So as we continue down the rabbit hole of modding our 4Runner, I have thought out some things that I would really like to do with modding and with my family. I will keep a dedicated Mods List for quick reference in the future.
Right now we feel that our son is currently too young to join us on our first couple of excursions (day trips only) because it may be an unsafe environment. As he get’s older, we hope that he will be able to fully enjoy our time together.
We also live in Maryland, which doesn’t allow off-roading in any of it’s parks, so we are very limited in where we can go within a reasonable distance.
Initial Mod Goals:
- New 17 inch wheels and BF Goodrich KO2 A/T tires in Stock size (265x70x17).
- Additional rear cargo
- Added/Upgraded armor (ordered by priority)
- RCI Metalworks Fuel Tank Skid
- Shrockworks Rock Sliders
- Upgraded Engine, Transmission and Transfer Case Skid (toss up between RCI & Shrockworks at this point)
- Mild Lift…for now.
- Still determining how we will approach this
Goals for Family Adventure:
- Create a family tradition of driving on the beaches in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
- Get acquainted with our vehicle off-road
- Off-Road 101 course
- Further our off-road knowledge and skill
- Off-Road 201 course
- Day Trips to George Washington National Forest (GWNF)
- Evolve into weekend disperse camping trips in GWNF
- Explore off-road in non-connecting states to Maryland
- Waaayyy down the road — Take a cross-country trip with a final destination of camping in Moab.
- I’m sure there is more to come.
