Finally Made it Home..and some other news
After 2 weeks, 7500km road trip From Canada to Southern California and back again, we made it home last night.
It was a great trip. The rig, as usual, performed great, minus a few incidents (nail in tire, weather stripping falling off roof, Minor fender bender exiting out of Disney parkade, and finally a bird slaming into our hood).
On another note, my wife and I are expecting our 2nd child in March 
One MORE car seat to install!
Later.

That happened to me on my trip from Indy To San Antonio TX a week ago ....It was just that and I was already freaking out. Thanks God I didn't get a flat tire nor nothing like that.
At least we made it safely back Home with no engine problems.
BTW congratulations for your new baby

Congrats on your upcoming 2nd child. Hope you had a great time on your trip. How long were you away in total?
I just came back from the opposite- NJ to Toronto. We had a temporarily blown signal bulb and a rock hit the roof (left a massive ping in the roof).

It was amazing! I really enjoyed my time in Canada. I also visited Niagara to see the falls. My only surprise was there were not nearly as many 4Runners as I expected in Canada.

We only have 35 million people in the 2nd largest country in the world. How many 4runners do you expect us to drive? LOL
