Greetings,
Glad to be a part of the forum here. So far its been great reading and inspiration.
I bought an '06 Sport Edition (V8) a few weeks ago after trading in an '08 Outback XT. I needed more room, and less stick shift. Was lucky to find a used V8 in great shape, LOW miles and in my favorite vehicle color.
Here it is the weekend I got it.
Just got it back today after a body level/lift (Daystar 2.5/1.5). Minor hiccup at the shop, but they made it right and were stand-up guys. Very reasonably priced. (PM me for local info if you want.) Here's a before/after/before pic.
Last weekend I built a storage drawer for the back compartment,
See the whole build here..
Have a BajaRack ordered to replace the factory rack. And new tires are in the works, all 4 tires are weather-cracked badly.
Future plans... possibly SpiderTracks depending on what tires I settle on, and eventually a bumper.
(Oh, "The Red Menace" was the name of my last truck, a diesel F250 4x4. I think the 4Runner will carry on the name well.)
