I wanted to post some of the things I have done on my 4Runner for the last couple years. The 4Runner was my first SUV purchased with my wife back in February 2001 that had 39,000 miles. This was our family vehicle that we used for work installing cable TV and Direct TV installation throughout 6 states, camping, fishing, and vacations so the 4Runner has a lot of sentimental value to me and my family.
