Welcome matey,

Wading depth is dependant on your idea of what is reasonable. If you dont mind puddles in your footwells its far higher than the spec would suggest.

Be careful if its a 2nd gen as the air intake is behind one of the headlights lights and is a bit of a risk.

it will also vary if you have got your surf lifted

I'll have a look in my precious 4runner brochure when I get home, just in case Toyota ever thought they'd share.

Wading depth, if you're careful, up to the bottom of the passenger side headlight. Fit a big lift and/or a snorkel.

Approach/departure angles??? They're $$$$. Fit a big lift.

....and a new, custom exhaust!

All the angles you can do yourself. grab a plank, rest it against the tyre and lift it up till it hits the bumper, then measure the angle.

Although why you'd want to know I don't know, offroad trails don't come with measurements!!! You'll soon learn what you'll clear and what will hit after watching others and driving around at bit.

Just get out there and get it muddy.

I like the fact the guy stays dry, while the girl gets wet.... What would happen if she fell off after hitting a bump while your going forward though???

The girl is Jess, and it's her Dad Chris driving. Also note that she has nicked Chris's crutches to get out there, and appears to be wearing waders. Considering what Chris gets up to driving his Surf, I reckon it was incredibly foolhardy to be sitting on the bonnet.

For playing top trumps down the pub.

When it stalls you gone to deep, and when it get's stuck the angles are too much.

Can you measure em for us when it happens though then we'll all know how far is too far in the future. Not that any of us'll be getting out to measure while we're playing.
