    Took the 4Runner for its first road trip this weekend. It did great climbing through the mountains and was much more comfortable than my Tacoma. We averaged close to 19mpg as well, much better than my 14mpg..

    We went hiking up Sunrise Mountain, beautiful day and we had nearly had the whole mountain to ourselves.

    Made it to the top!

    On the way back home we pulled off and did some exploring in the White Mountains. The GF got some quality time behind the wheel off-road.

    I get 14.4 since I lost the bead locks and MTs. I was getting 12 flat.
    That's what I get when I'm going downhill in neutral

    I was doing this per a 300 mile drive. I was also drafting the shit out of Zach's trailer

    With the trailer, I get better MPGs

    Got a cool toy for the next piano trip. A quick disconnect flag mount. Need to drill the hole next to the antenna bigger, but should be cool.
