Good stuff, guys! You don't need a lifted truck but I gotta say a lift and tires makes these trails a piece of cake! I don't ever remember anything getting technical at all. It was gorgeous all the way though!
@tacoteng2095 definitely not needed but it makes for more fun! I agree. There are some spots that can get more technical depending on which line you take which is what I did
If you go in the spring you won't be doing these trails. They don't open till Julyish and sometimes Imogene doesn't even open in July depending on snowpack. Always check trail conditions in Colorado before trip planning.
If you'd like to do the trails in this area with a group, I help run the Rocky Mountain Toyota RoundUp in Ouray each year. We'll be there (~175 trucks total) next July, the 23rd to 25th.
When was this video taken? I flew out and rented a Jeep in the first week of September and the Jeep you saw up on top of Imogene was the one we rented lol
@SOGSEAL ophir took maybe an hr or 2 and imogene took a good chunk of the day but was stopped and many mines to explore and screwed around on obstacles. Probably could get done in 5 hrs?
Hey buddy, it’s mind-blowing how the base SR5 can keep up with a TRD off-road. I was a bit let down when I got an SR5 because of the limited availability of the TRD off-road. But after watching this, I’m totally impressed with the SR5’s performance with the TRD off-road. .
@AP24673 it's pretty awesome how well the 4runners do in stock form. Mine (blue) has a 2.5" lift and 33s so it's slightly modified but still it's crazy how great they are stock. Only thing I'd want an Offroad or Pro for is the locker but I haven't needed one
@ I was wondering if there are any aftermarket lockers we could install in the SR5 that might perform even better than the ones that come with the car? I heard about some ARB air lockers and stuff but don’t know how reliable they are.
@@AP24673Arb lockers are very reputable. There are pros and cons to air and electric lockers so just research them. The TRD locker is just fine but it’s only in the rear.
We go down there every year, it is such a wonderful place to see. Thanks for sharing

Awesome video !! Was surprised to see hardly any snow this time of the year
@monsieurtravelbags2178 thanks man! This was back in August it just took me a while to get the video done
Does the TRD have KDSS? That's what clunks on mine, drives me nuts! Enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
He does not have the KDSS on his TRD. Still wasn't sure what happened the dealer said it was all good. Thank you for watching!
Great vid man!! 110% gonna run this next summer in my X5! Looking forward to the funny looks 😂
nice video, I remember around 7-8 years ago I was on RUclips watching people doing exactly the same trials in your video. Looks to be good times.
Thank you for an amazing video! This is awesome!

Dang that's a lot of vehicles! Sounds like a lot of fun! I might be able to make that work
This makes me confident my stocker 1st gen sequoia will be fine
If you ever need another 4runner to tag along on your next adventure, HIT me up please!!!!
@christophersigars5481 heck yeah! Where do you live?
I’m in Louisiana! I have a nautical blue just like yours. Recently bought a bilstein 5100 to lift. Got my eyes on cbi armor and covert bumper.
@@jordansvc Im from Wichita KS but always up for a road trip

@jordanharris3749 lol that's awesome! We did this trail at the end of August
Considering the snow storms that colorado got recently y'all must have got through there just in time.
@@TheCajunGaijin this was actually back in August, I just have been so busy that it took me longer than I wanted to make the video
heck yeah! too bad im on the East coast... will get to CO one day :)
@@rebelops youll get here eventually! It is worth it
@@jordansvc forgot to ask how long did it take you to do all this? want to plan things out
@SOGSEAL ophir took maybe an hr or 2 and imogene took a good chunk of the day but was stopped and many mines to explore and screwed around on obstacles. Probably could get done in 5 hrs?
@@jordansvc thank you! im in NC, so need to plan carefully and see what i can explore on the way to CO.
Great video. I still got a lot of Colorado content to edit from July
@timthetrailman4563 thank you!! I appreciate you watching. Yeah colorado is unreal. So many cool sights

@@AP24673 I've seen some over the years but never read into them to try it. Maybe some day
