Tacomas in Minnesota?

You still selling those wheels? Rubber or rims too?

 

@USDashCamera

i just stumbled upon this from Motorola

https://www.motorola.com/us/products/motorola-mdc10w

it looks to be wireless but i don't know much more
and only 720p for HD quality

have you any experience with that model?

 

never knew they made a dash cam even haha.

Typically when these big name brand companies release dash cams they are often just the same as many cheap chinese ones with a nicer plastic body. like cobra has had a bunch of dash cams, and there were bunch of chinese clones that looked the same because they're made in the same factory often, sharing a lot of the same components.

But theres no reason in this day and age to get a 720p dash cam. some 1080p cams are still a great option as long as they are optimized well, the Viofo A119 V3 is probably the best in terms of 1080p picture quality, but being a pretty affordable budget cam.

Damn a supercharged manual with no rust in MN. Unicorn.

 

A 99 model is definitely rare
Did you get a Carfax check to see it's registration history and where it's been over 21 years?

 

Hah, busy looking at the body and didn't see that. Crappy chrome bumpers... At least probably one of the easiest things to replace.

 

There is not much for pics from underneath
Interior is clean!

 

There is a supercharged 4Runner on Facebook that’s been for sale for awhile. It’s pretty rough, but it runs.

 

Anyone have a set of 2016-2019 Sport OEM wheels they want to get rid of? I'm trading in my '19 Sport soon but already have winter tires and the black vinyl on my OEM wheels, so would like to keep them to run in the winter for now on the new truck, so need something to sell it with. If it comes to it I'll put my OEM tires back on mine and sell them with truck, but it would save me some time and hassle just to have another set of Sport wheels instead.

Was possibly trying to make a deal with someone from Chicago that listed them on the classified thread, but that fell through, so on the hunt again.

Edit: Just to be clear, I just need the wheels/rims, not the tires. I still have my OEM tires that I can put back on.

 

I had to get outside, so I packed the truck up with enough supplies to be self sufficient (except for gasoline) and headed north.

I left St Paul in the morning and met up with the Gandhi Dancer trail at Markville and headed north. It was straight, flat, covered in ice, and rough as hell. I was surprised none of my gear flew out of the bed. Luckily I still have all my teeth. I probably won’t go back, but at least it gave me a route into the Nemadji State Forest.

I got lost along the Gandy Dancer and ended up on what I discovered later to be an ATV trail. It was on this trail that I did my first “river” crossing in the new taco. I forded about 8 inches of water, ice, and frozen mud. The taco never missed a beat

I turned left on to the Truck Park Trail and headed west. This trail is more of a road than a trail, but at least it has twists and turns and the spring thaw made it quite slippery and fun. Most every offshoot was posted no trespassing, but I found a couple of, what looked to be, logging trails to explore. There was quite a bit more snow than i expected and I made good use of 4-lo and ATRAC. Midway along this route I took a break to have a snack and a beer and take some target practice at a beer can.

All the fun ended when reached The End of the Trail Road, turned right, and headed back to the hiway. I stopped for gas and filled up for $1.67(!) a gallon on a gas pump that was so old it didn’t accept credit cards. Next stop Gilbert.

After lots of hiway driving at 90-100 mph (because I hadn’t seen a police officer the entire day), I reached Gilbert. It was the first time I saw the taco speedo read 100. Arriving in Gilbert I expected to see signs directing me to the Iron Range OHV Park, but there were no signs in sight. After a short search I found it.

The Iron Range OHV Park is a blast! The snow made even the easy trails challenging. I got temporarily stuck numerous times, but never needed to use recovery equipment. One hill in particular looked impassable because of deep snow, but a group of ATV riders challenged me to do it. I couldn’t pass up the challenge. I knew I’d never be able to crawl up it, so I took a good run at it, went gunho the whole way up around a sweeping corner, and got some cheers from the crowd at the top. I raised my fist in triumph! The lead ATV rider scoffed at me and pointed over yonder at, what I estimate to be, a 50 foot tall 60 degree slope that disappeared into the treetops. My tail sank between my legs.

I got lost again (1 of a million times) and ended up in what looked like a frozen swamp. I was pretty sure I was not in the park anymore, but I was following truck tracks and I wanted to know where they went.

Along the way I came upon a suburban stuck in the snow. The driver had left the trail and gotten buried in snow and half frozen mud. It was at this point that a DNR officer informed me that I was on a snowmobile trail. He had discovered the stuck suburban and had helped them summon a snow cat tow truck. I had never seen such a machine. Super awesome. The snow cat winched out the suburban and then we followed it about 1/4 mile back to the road and then headed back to the park.

Back at the park I tried some more trails, but many of them were impassable due to deep wet snow. One in particular I came across was named Dumb and Dumber. It was labeled “difficult” and looked to be a 45 degree slope strewn with boulders and partially covered in deep snow. I climbed it on foot with moderate difficulty. I have no idea how anything could climb that even in summer.

Snack, beer, take pictures. On the way out I did some minor rock crawling over some iron range rock piles that were relatively snow free. Good fun.

There was not much sun left, but I really wanted to see Mesabi Mountain and it is not far away. At least an hour later, I found it. Google maps was less than helpful, the dnr map no better, and there are zero signs. Frustrating! It was pitch black when I finally found the trail head. I drove 20 feet in, got out of the truck to investigate, could hardly walk in the snow, and decided “not tonight”.

Two hours later I was at the cabin drinking a beer and writing this post. Good day!

 

Pretty cool story.

Stay the fuck home.

 

also wash and sanitize your hands,
do NOT touch your face, its all you can basically do

 

From the list of acceptable activities in the executive order:

“Outdoor activities. Individuals may engage in outdoor activities (e.g., walking, hiking, running, biking, driving for pleasure, hunting, or fishing), and may go to available public parks and other public recreation lands, consistent with remaining at least six feet apart from individuals from other households. This does not exempt public accommodations that may feature outdoor activities from closure under Executive Order 20-04 and does not permit trespass upon private property.”

Le sigh.

This is a fantastic example of “spirit of the law” vs “letter of the law”

 

You are welcome to your own interpretation of the executive order, but I do not interpret it to mean “stay the fuck home”. I interpret it as “limit your face-to-face social interaction”.

 

I mean it is literally a "Stay at Home Order".

 

And says word for word to "limit movements outside of their home beyond essential needs"

 

Have you read more than the title? Here is a larger quote to help you understand. Pay close attention to (c) and (e).
