Guaranteed first for 4Runners world-wide

Hey everyone - thought I'd share this photo I took tonight of our 4Runner getting ready to tow "someone special" to a major event tomorrow. If you're a fan of 80s television (or at least remember it), I'm sure you'll have no problem recognizing this black beauty! I think I can say with certainty this a first in the long history of the Toyota 4Runner.

Man, for some reason I loved that show. Maybe it was turbo boost, or super pursuit mode, or the airplane yolk for a steering wheel that made no sense... it was all good.

LOL trust me - if I could cover it up somehow without worrying about the tarp tearing apart or the black paint getting all scratched up, I'd totally do it. A covered trailer was my preference. But the 4Runner has a tow capacity limit, and my setup literally puts that limit at the very max (just under 5000 lbs)

One of the original TV cars sold at auction recently. I am not a fan of the car in general, but loved the 80s car shows to include KR.

My god I loved that stupid helicopter as a kid. The song at the beginning used to drive my family crazy because I'd turn it up really loud.

I visited Kitt at universal studios when I was a kid. loved it.

If you saw CHiPs, you saw all of the freeways around where I grew up.

Many of them were under construction during the late 70's early 80's, making filming on them really easy. Glendale's 2 Freeway, the 210 through Sunland-Tujunga and Lake View Terrace.

Watching those old shows always brings back memories.
