- Join us on our adventure to one of the most popular offroad spot here in Orange County Southern California. We are taking a friend to test out the capability of his 2wd 3rd gen 4runner in the Santiago Peak. Joining us as well is our friend Phil from Off the Grid Lock with his 80 Series Land Cruiser. And of course my good ole LX470 100 Land Cruiser. After a few rainfalls in the past weeks, we decided to check the trail condition of Maple Springs Truck Trail to see if it still an easy trail after all those rains.

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
Thanks!!
Very cool!! Yup the 2wd is capable of some nice overlanding. Throw a rear locker and it will do some amazing things!!
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!
@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.
@@MPTrailGroup will do good sir!
How has your 3rd gen 2wd handled overlanding? I have a 2002 Sr5 2wd and I was curious about taking mine overlanding.
@@ddemier just ordered all new suspension lift kit, as soon as I finish I’ll keep ya posted!
@@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.
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
Awesome man, I’m glad you guys enjoyed it. Yea i think that access have been closed for a while now.
Love it when people leave the adventure dents in their rigs, shows it’s purpose 👌 dig it!
@Brave The Wild Gaming thanks bro!
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
Absolutely bro!! Not a problem!! You can definitely have fun with them. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
@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
@Eric Mondragon dang for real? 😆 Awesome brother. It was a nice day up in the peak. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Great trail, great rigs! I’m ready for the next trail run!
Lets go!!
🔥🔥 video man! Great tip on those hand signals! Learned something. 🤙🏽
Awesome!!!Thank you man I appreciate it!!
Excellent shots!
Thank you!! @Robbie Herrera
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!
Bro, you have a new rig?? Nice!! And thanks brother appreciate it!!
@@MPTrailGroup Gotta keep up with you and Kevin! haha
@Michael Tran dang bro, im excited!! Lets go wheel it 😆 😆

@@mickjlv5836 dude I may have 900 right now but 100% Ray wil surpass me loo his video is so fire! Quality is another level now haha.
Amazing video. I just got done building my 97 2wd sr5
Great video and congrats on your 800 subs!
Thanks bro!! You’re next!! Getting there too!!
@@MPTrailGroup Thanks, but I don’t know about that..😅
@@xbenture soon bro soon!!
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.
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.
@@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.
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
@@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.
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?@@jumbojack4040
Great video! I also have a 2wd 3rd Gen 4runner I was wondering the suspension details on it? Rigs look awesome.
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. 👍🏽
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!
Awesome man!! We were hoping for some mud 😆 😆 bet it was fun!!
Love my 4runner. Have a navy 05 with 242k miles on it.
Great vehicles 👌🏽
Where can I find more footage of the 2wd 4runner. Love ittt!!!
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.
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 ?
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 👍🏽
That 3rd Gen… My dream SUV. If I ever get a real SUV again…
3rd gen is nice. The subie is cool too 🤘🏽
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..
Dang, gps might played tricks bro. Maybe you got the wrong coordinates?
What kinda wheels and tires in on the 2wd 4Runner ?
sending my support from krisplorer
Thank you 🙏
What trail did you guys take up?
We took the Maple springs truck trail by Silverado canyon.
I have seen Matt pull Kia Optimas off of harder trails.
Do u have a locker? @2wd
No lockers on the 2wd.
@@MPTrailGroup witchcraft then?
Easy trail lol
@@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...
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. 🤙🏽
new 4runner in high school? rich kid lol
I know right 😆
