Some of the Colorado and Utah trails I've done include: Iron Chest, Minesweeper (winched part of 1st obstacle), Holy Cross City, Spring Creek, Battlement Resevoir, Carnage Canyon, Old Chinaman's Gulch, Pritchett Canyon, Golden Spike, Moab Rim, Behind the Rocks, Cliff Hanger, Poughkeepsie Gulch, Red Cone, Glacier Ridge, Wheeler Lake, Jenny Creek, Hackett/Longwater, sections of 21 Road, and lots of others. I did most of these with just the rear locker, although I just recently got the ARB front locker installed to make it easier. In the Fall, 2002, I drove the Rubicon in California. That's a fantastic trail! I got to exercise my new ARB front locker, too.

4x4wire wrote a feature article on my 4Runner.

Be sure to read the article that I wrote for 4x4wire about my suspension mods.

I also enjoy racing in the "street stock bare rubber" class of Georgetown Lake ice racing at www.ice_racing.homestead.com

The best forum on the web for 3rd gen ('96-'02) Toyota 4Runners is at 4x4wire's TrailTalk.

For links and info from past Colorado 4Runner Jamborees (CO4RJ), go to Reapur's web page: CO4RJ 2001 and CO4RJ 2002.

The Colorado 4Runner Jamboree in 2003 in Buena Vista was an awesome time! We had just over 30 vehicles attend from at least 8 states. Mike made a great video at this link (6 MB). Other people's pics and links about CO4RJ are at this link.
