Don't plan to lift, clearance and travel are awesome already for the off roading I do. Definately tires and sliders.

Congrats! I've been considering "upgrading" to a LC in a few years. Let us know how you like it and maybe a general comparison between the two (beyond what you can get by researching specs/pics) would be great!

Was hoping you were going to announce your sex change, but it’s just disappointing click bait.

Any taller and it doesn't look like it'd fit in the garage. Nice upgrade.

Sorry to disappoint, I think.

You are correct. I measured the garage and went off specs, close fit. There was some puckering when first pulling in.

There’s no room in my one-car garage anyway, but my lifted 4R with stuff on the roof is too tall to fit.

I probably paid around 10k less than it cost new. I paid more for CPO, low miles, and not a speck of rust. This truck beat my expectations by far, it's spotless inside, outside and underneath. I test drove a few that looked good on the outside but were orange underneath. I have been planning this since I bought the 4runner new in 2012. Wasn't going to let pandemic and LC shortage screw it up, especially after a couple commutes in traffic after dropping kids off at school. Now can leave at zero dark thirty and get to work before everybody wrecks. My commute went from 1.5hrs+ of bumper to bumper stop and go to a smooth 40 minutes at 70mph! Still think the 4runner is great! It runs great, drives great, has no rust and will be part of my arsenal until she dies.

Agree, even with 237,000 miles. I hope I'll get at least another 100k or 200k out of it, but you never know.

Nice upgrade!
We have a new addition and I can already feel the squeeze. Almost wanted to go this route when I got the 4Runner, looks like I should have
