Immmmmm Baccccckkkkkk 9 years gone... 0.o
Well 8 years and 6 vehicles later ive finally come back to the light B-) I used to have an 07 4runner sport v8 that was on FJ coils, roof rack, brush guard, plastidip, and a few interior mods. I just picked up a 08 4runner Limited (fancy huh ;D ) in salsa red. It came with 134000 miles, one owner and a stout service history including 1200 dollars worth of parts from the dealership just being installed (no labor cost was on the service sheet ) and it had a new timing belt put in, in the last 20k miles!
I am pretty stoked to be back! I am definitely not used to the fancier stuff this 4runner even has a backup camera! How cool is that?! It also has a headunit that runs the same software as the early palm pilots though.
So what have i missed since since 2012? What are the best things to do to a limited? It does have XREAS system but that seems to be functioning properly and it doesnt feel like a boat, also not premium sound (I have the tailgate mirrors or whatever they are called), and it has the light up running boards not tubes.
Any suggestions? I do not want to go too crazy on a build or anything just yet but I want to start modest and maybe then get rediculous!
Ill post pictures once I am not on my work computer!

I was hoping to be out the door at 13500 listed at 16999. I over paid just a bit and was out the door at 14800. Pretty darn good deal for a vehicle with fresh seals in the axle, resurfaced rotars, brakes all around, timing belt and everything else! I was going to try the walk away game, but im sure if I did it would have sold today 0.o
