Just thought I'd show my face over here in the 4th gen forum.

I'm a long time 3rd gen owner, have a pretty well built 3rd gen with 281k miles on it. Fully armored, King suspension, etc. I've been to 44 states in it, and wheeled it all over the country. I plan to never get rid of it.

But, I needed something a little more comfortable on the highway and around town, and a 4th gen has the reliability and capability I like. So I started my search. I was looking across the country, ready to fly almost anywhere to get the right one. After missing out on a good deal in Tampa, Florida I ended up finding one at the local Toyota dealer here a few miles from my house. A 2008 Limited V6 4x4, with only 78k miles.

It's got all the maintenance records, serviced at Toyota. Apparently it was owned by a couple in their 80s. The car started in CA and ended up here in AL. I bought it the day after it was posted, before they could post more than one picture of it online.

It's got everything I wanted, including the V6 over the V8. Probably one of the lowest miles and cleanest 4th gens around.

No real plans to modify this one.

I do plan to tint the windows, because I hate clear glass, and I want to keep this interior as nice as possible. The best quote I have so far is $350 for Llumar CTX on all the windows.

Eventually I will put some larger AT tires on it, after I put a few more miles on these highway tires. And when the chip shortage is over she'll get a new head unit with a backup camera.

I need to grease the driveshaft, I've got the clunk when coming to a stop, but other than that there don't seem to be any issues with it at all.

Just wanted to say hi, show off the new 4Runner, and start poking around over here on the 4th gen forums.
