Welcome to my thread it will be a log of my travels and my build, enjoy and hopefully I can help someone in the process.



My first 4Runner was a 2000 4Runner SR5 with the "Highlander" package (2WD) that my dad gave me while I was in high school and I took over payments once I joined the Marine Corps in 2004. Her name was Bessie and was to me the best thing since sliced bread. There was nothing particularly special about her, just a Pioneer stereo that would beat your face off. Alas I traded her in at 185K mi for my 2011 4Runner Trail Edition with 26mi and named her Jemima because she is big black and beautiful, but I did almost shed a tear for I was leaving my first most wonderful car.

Witness a man run across the freeway into an oncoming semi-truck as wel were driving east on the I-10 in Las Cruces, NM. We had to swerve to avoid hitting him ourselves stopping about 20' from the man. I ran over to see if he had made it, but there was blood and what I'm assuming was grey matter all across the road. The man's side was split open and there wasn't anything I could do besides wave off traffic from hitting him. There wasn't anything the truck driver could have done it was too late for him.

The cops and emergency services arrived attempted CPR, but declared him dead at the scene. The EMT told the cop and I that the guy's wrist had been slit and deemed it a suicide.

We are okay, just a bit shaken up.
