10 year anniversary- and we're still in love.

This month we celebrate our 10 year anniversary with my 4Runner. It's the longest relationship I've ever been in. I remember picking her up at the dealership thinking, WOW, what a knockout, definitely going to pick up some women with this beast(I was single at the time). Golf takes up most of my time(and money) so mods are to a minimum. I finally got around to upgrading the stock stereo with a Kenwood 891HD unit, many thanks to [MENTION=93434]gshadow325[/MENTION].

I currently have 115,000 miles. I'm getting the valve covers replaced at the dealership in a couple weeks. A transmission flush/drain/fill is also on the list. In 10 years I've only had 1 code pop up(changed out the gas cap and no issues since). This is by far the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've only owned 3 vehicles in my lifetime, 1997 chevy cavalier, 2003 Tundra, and my 4Runner.

Here are some pics of my recent mods, front/rear facing cameras. The front camera is really helpful when pulling up to my garage. The beach pic was taken in Port Aransas, TX.

Not only an inspiration but a true testament that the 4runner and/or rather Toyota as a brand makes some of the best and most reliable vehicles..

Thanks for sharing :thumb:
 
i like the forward camera idea. Does your headunit have an option for 2 cameras?

Anyway, forward camera is definitely on my to do list!
 
Agreed Big Time. Ya I have dumped some $$$$ into Brake Booster and T-case Acuator but I Have Never had a Vehicle like my Runner. Road trips are a pleasure for sure. Love it.:bluejump:
 
I concur with everyone. Mine has been in the family for 7 years and nothing has been "fixed" yet. Does need a new rear hatch switch though. Awesome for a 7 year old vehicle.

Yes, the Kenwood 891HD has the option for 2 cameras. It comes handy when I'm trying to parallel park and when pulling up to my garage. The right side steering wheel buttons work seamlessly with the HU. Thanks again for that write-up.
