Ever since I got my Toyota 4Runner a few months ago I’ve wanted to take it off road to prove to myself that it was more of a truck than a mini van.  Yesterday I had the chance.  Josh and I went to a friends property and drove the trails.  Up and down some steeps hills, across the fields, through and over the trees.   It was a blast but a little dry, so we found a puddle on a construction site and drove through it a few times just to get a little mud on the tires (no, I’m not a huge Brad Paisley fan).  Sometimes its important to get outside and get muddy and drive your SUV like a truck even it the result is a minor scratch or two.
