2WD 4runner Capability offroad/Santiago Peak 2022/Land Cruisers offroad

[@70xr7Cougar]

Loved this casual vibe with the other guys in there, just calm guys enjoying their trail without trying to be cool or whatever. Digged the video

[@MPTrailGroup]

Thanks!!

[@dingdongitsterry]

Awesome content, I’ve got myself a 3rd gen 4Runner that’s 2WD too. Very curious to see if I could even go off-roading and over landing with it. Thanks for sharing this video, love the quality too!

[@MPTrailGroup]

@dingdongitsterry Thanks man!!! Absolutely bro, stick with the easy trails and you can absolutely do overlanding. If you check out michael tran’s channel, he’s been everywhere on his 2wd taco.

[@dingdongitsterry]

@@MPTrailGroup will do good sir!

[@ddemier]

How has your 3rd gen 2wd handled overlanding? I have a 2002 Sr5 2wd and I was curious about taking mine overlanding.

[@Skybusdriver]

@@ddemier just ordered all new suspension lift kit, as soon as I finish I’ll keep ya posted!

[@ddemier]

​@@Skybusdriverdid you get your suspenion installed? I just orderd Bilstein 5100 and OME springs for my 2002 2wd lookn for about a 2" lift. Curious how your 2wd handles off road.

[@Mondragone90]

@11:56 that's my f150 and my buddies 4runners. Waved at you guys on the way out while you were airing up. Didn't realize it was you until today lol

[@MPTrailGroup]

@Eric Mondragon dang for real? 😆 Awesome brother. It was a nice day up in the peak. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

[@strayhorserecords]

I was up there yesterday. Took my lady for her first trip and she loved it. Someone told me the road was open all the way the Bedford so I went to check it out. Found out it wasn’t open 😔. All in all a great spot for 2wd wheeling

[@MPTrailGroup]

Awesome man, I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. Yea i think that access have been closed for a while now.

[@bootay808]

Great video! I have a 98 2wd 4runner also. Basically stock besides the lift and bigger tires. Thanks for showing the capabilities of a 2wd! 🤙🏾 from Hawaii

[@MPTrailGroup]

Absolutely bro!! Not a problem!! You can definitely have fun with them. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@Michael_Tran]

I gotta take the new rig to flex on those offshoots next time. The view is still one of my favorite of the area. Nice job Ray!

[@MPTrailGroup]

Bro, you have a new rig?? Nice!! And thanks brother appreciate it!!

[@Michael_Tran]

@@MPTrailGroup Gotta keep up with you and Kevin! haha

[@MPTrailGroup]

@Michael Tran dang bro, im excited!! Lets go wheel it 😆 😆

[@bravethewildgaming8139]

Love it when people leave the adventure dents in their rigs, shows it’s purpose 👌 dig it!

[@MPTrailGroup]

@Brave The Wild Gaming thanks bro!

[@2-old-Forthischet]

I'm a retired telecom tech. We drove our work vans up to all the cell sites around LA and Orange County in a full loaded 2wd full size work van. In all my years, there was only two cell sites in Orange County that I couldn't drive right up to the cell site because of the terrain because they were so steep. I doubt if any stock 4wd would've made it either.

[@lockdot2]

Nice! Do you think I can make it up in my Mitsubishi Mirage? It has small tires, but has 6 1/2 inches of ground clearance, and it's small, so it can avoid rocks, and it shouldn't bottom out too easy.. Maybe.

[@2-old-Forthischet]

@@lockdot2 I don't know. I've never been to Santiago Peak yet in my 4wd 4Runner. Judging by some other places I've gone, 4wd is a must due to changing conditions.

[@lockdot2]

Ah! Okay. Thank you! I won't try it then, as I don't want to wreck the car trying to do it. (:@@2-old-Forthischet

[@RyanYoung8]

@@lockdot2 hey there, my gf has a mirage and I've got a 4runner. Love that car but it would get into trouble on this trail unfortunately.

[@lockdot2]

Awesome! Thank you for letting me know! How does she like her Mirage? How many miles does she have on it? What MPG does she get?@@RyanYoung8

[@adambrown7741]

Great trail, great rigs! I’m ready for the next trail run!

[@MPTrailGroup]

Lets go!!

[@rallypoint1]

Very cool!! Yup the 2wd is capable of some nice overlanding. Throw a rear locker and it will do some amazing things!!

[@RobbieHerrera]

Excellent shots!

[@MPTrailGroup]

Thank you!! @Robbie Herrera

[@festusdpimp2]

You guys are awesome

[@MPTrailGroup]

@festusdpimp2 thanks!

[@O4lo]

Your my idol! Congrats on the 800 subs bro! Deng quality is 100%

[@MPTrailGroup]

Thanks bro!! Just trying be in your level. Can’t wait for the video from you guy’s trip in Death Valley 🤘🏽🤘🏽.

Race to 1000 ba? 😝 Nice vid pre super pro cinematography these days! Naks! 🤙🏾🙌🏾

Thanks bro!! You’re next!! Getting there too!!

[@PK.Adventures]

🔥🔥 video man! Great tip on those hand signals! Learned something. 🤙🏽

[@MPTrailGroup]

Awesome!!!Thank you man I appreciate it!!

[@bryanrocha7468]

Great video! I also have a 2wd 3rd Gen 4runner I was wondering the suspension details on it? Rigs look awesome.

[@MPTrailGroup]

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Hit up @villar.edison on instagram. Im sure he’ll more than happy to share with you his suspension set up. 👍🏽

[@migueltorres79]

Amazing video. I just got done building my 97 2wd sr5

[@chrissanders541]

A winch, rear locker and tires & that 2wheel drive 4runner will go a lot of places. if u really want to get fancy get 410 gears for lower gear and a 2in lift bro. u would be surprised about a 2 wheel drive..

[@troychristman9258]

Went up there yesterday morning for the first time. Sprinkling most of the way up, and little visibility at the peak. But rig got nice and muddy!

[@MPTrailGroup]

Awesome man!! We were hoping for some mud 😆 😆 bet it was fun!!

[@ddemier]

Where can I find more footage of the 2wd 4runner. Love ittt!!!

[@davidtrevino5211]

Exactly what I thought would happen, I'm totally new to Toyotas. Bought my first 4runner 2 weeks ago,, 2001 4x4 3.4 6 cylinder.. I have 4 other jeeps that are also 4x4 2xjs, 1 wj, and 1 jk wrangler. But , the minute I first drove my 4runner It felt like a little tank, just drove different . The first thing that entered my mind was this thing feels so capable that I bet even a 2wd 4runner could do amazing things offroad as well.. So I view this video as validation of that idea. What say you ?

[@MPTrailGroup]

Awesome man good to hear! I love me some XJ one day. 2WD 4runners can definitely do some overlanding on fire roads and easy trails comfortably . Solid platform, it got the clearance and can flex pretty decently too. It would have to work a little harder if theres rain or slippery environments but if you travel with a group it’ll be fine 👍🏽

[@labdad4695]

Love my 4runner. Have a navy 05 with 242k miles on it.

[@MPTrailGroup]

Great vehicles 👌🏽

[@velocitypromo3177]

You really don’t need 4x4 unless you’re doing some crazy ish. Have a Tacoma trd off-road. Never have issues on the trails I go, but I’m not rock crawling lol

[@jenniferdavis4727]

That 3rd Gen… My dream SUV. If I ever get a real SUV again…

[@MPTrailGroup]

3rd gen is nice. The subie is cool too 🤘🏽

[@lockdot2]

The easiest way up the mountain, do you think it's possible in a passenger car? A Mitsubishi Mirage? It has small tires, 6 1/2 inches of ground clearance, and is small, to maybe drive around rocks.

[@devildog1168]

I went Wednesday and idk if I went the right way going up after I did maple springs..but I was bummed out I didn’t go up or the maps took me the wrong way..

[@MPTrailGroup]

Dang, gps might played tricks bro. Maybe you got the wrong coordinates?

[@bradleykerr345]

What kinda wheels and tires in on the 2wd 4Runner ?

[@b_law949]

What trail did you guys take up?

[@MPTrailGroup]

We took the Maple springs truck trail by Silverado canyon.

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

I have seen Matt pull Kia Optimas off of harder trails.

[@TheWillvoss]

Do u have a locker? @2wd

[@MPTrailGroup]

No lockers on the 2wd.

[@TheWillvoss]

@@MPTrailGroup witchcraft then?

[@MPTrailGroup]

Easy trail lol

[@TheWillvoss]

@@MPTrailGroup i got a 2001 2wd sr5. With newborns my offroad career really is never going to happen. But i would like to do basic trails... With bathrooms near by. Small potatoes type of stuff. You have any suggestions for suspension/winches.. Anything like that? Everyone always says lol get a 4x4.. But i dont see myself in any 4x4 situations for at least 17 years...

[@MPTrailGroup]

Just get a good set of all terrain tires man. check out Michal Tran’s channel, he’s been everywhere with his 2wd taco. Just pick easier trails and don’t wheel alone. You can do a lot with a 2wd truck/suv. 🤙🏽

[@fertexas]

new 4runner in high school? rich kid lol

[@MPTrailGroup]

I know right 😆
