Uwharrie National Forest: First 4Runner visit to OHV Trail life.

My first visit to Uhwarrie National Forest in Troy NC. Whilst enjoying the nature on a camping trip I “accidentally” found the OHV (off highway vehicle) trails. With Absolute zero off-road experience I decided to take my 18 TRD-Off Road 4Runner out to see if it could indeed do what the c-pillar badges said it could - go off the road. The trails I did were marked as easy, and I was informed by the other trail goers that my 4Runner would be fine and that I wouldn’t tear it up. I ended up successfully enduring a couple of miles of this off road life. Common sense driving and mechanical understanding along with my TRD Pro suspension made it a worry free super enjoyable experience.
The video does really make the experience appear underwhelming but, but it’s far more than the dirt road it appears to be. I would do this again, please enjoy!
Special thanks to my Amazing and Patient girlfriend for the assistance!

Looks fun! Might have to take my tacoma down there after I install my fox shocks

It’s a blast. There are easy enough trails for someone I’d refer to as a, “ knowledgeable beginner “ if that makes sense. Can’t wait to go back.

Stock trd off road or did you have any kinda lift? I want to go this season but don’t know if I will need any modifications for the beginner trails I have a 2017 trd off road with 270/75r17 tires any advice would be super helpful

Had TRD-Pro bilstein shocks front and rear, stock bs dueler highway tire. The trd pro suspension I think offered a mere .75 inch front height difference? I forget now. What tires do you have? You can do it stock just be aware of approach angles and go slow. Use 4x4 low to crawl around and let the gears do the work. Don’t be afraid to get out and look/have a spotter. Go slow. You’ll have fun.

If you’re going to uhwarrie do yourself the favor of asking a few people near by on the trails what’s ahead and ask if there are places to turn off/turn around if you don’t feel comfortable going further. The trail I took is easy and fun for any beginner

[@leenestle]

Wolf den trail. Numbers 89 and 79
