A sad day for Raymond.
The truck I bought for my wife a little over 2 years ago has undergone a decent amount of change. Nothing as big or expensive as some on here, but I made it our own. The biggest bonus was that she had so much pride in it. Loved it and kept it way cleaner then any other vehicle she's driven. I was super proud.
This weekend during a pretty serious storm, my wife's beloved Raymond Runnington (Blacklist fans will get the pun) moved on to greener pastures.
My hope is to find another 4th gen with a few more options and less mileage. If we do find what we're looking for, I'll be sure to post up.
Before...

Storm that hit NC was pretty bad. Sorry for your loss, glad no one was in it at the time.

This is where I watched the whole thing happen. From the time the storm hit until the time the tree fell, maybe 3 minutes. We knew it was coming but it just came SO fast. We were having a birthday lunch for my father in law... ahhh the memories we will speak of.

Holy carp! Both the house and the 4runner, that sucks. Glad no one was hurt.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel fellas.
After looking at almost 15 4Runners, and pummeling the mileage on the rental (~1600 miles in 10 days), we have found a replacement. Bit more then I was planning on spending, but I think she will be happy in the long run.

Already have some things I've got in mind to change up and make it our own. Looking forward to what's next.

What was the speed of the wind?
