Gorgeous pics and sweet looking truck! Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Alpha! I had the wife drive, while I was shooting. I know, I know, what the **** was I doing lettin' the wife get near the new truck, right? Well, the desire to get the pan shot won out over my obsessive need to not let anyone touch the new truck:D

That was excellent!! Hahahahahahahah! I thought it might be an April Fools joke like many members had suggested, but being a new member didn't really know the nature of the forum. Excellent prank! Whew! You had me there for a bit!

We had some snow and light rain today and I noticed that the rear wiper moves super sloooooooow. But I actually didn't have to use it much because the spoiler keeps the back window pretty clean So make that 4 of us:D

I'm a relatively new member here, so I don't want to rock the boat, or tread where I'm not welcome. That said, making the board more inclusive to street users of the 4Runner is a great idea IMHO. The reason I liked the forum when I first encountered it was that it had a lot of excellent...

You can go to one of the 3 credit reporting companies and they will tell you your credit rating or you can go to http://www.freecreditreport.com and sign up to get your credit report. That should tell you what you need to know. Good luck

Here are links to the high-res versions of the pics, in case anyone would like to make desktop wallpapers or a screen-saver. But please be warned, these high-res images are BIG. Unless you're on a fast connection they will take time to load...

The 4.7L V8 is a battle-tested virtually bullet proof engine. It's been used in the Land Cruiser for years, and is the same engine that's used in the Tundra and the Tacoma as well as the Lexus LX470 and the GX470. Extraordinarily smooth, the engine gets great gas mileage for a V8, with most...

Did she fill gas in the car? Check the gas cap. Often when the check engine light comes on, the simplest explanation could be that she left the gas cap off (or not fully tight) after filling gas, which will set off the O2 sensor and the check engine light will come on. As for the other warning...

Actually the rate that Toyota Financial offers you has more to do with the car they are promoting than the actual cost of money. They usually absorb the difference between the rate they offer you and the actual cost of money as a discount on the car. The reason I know this is because, I got...

Here's another pic from the same shooting session

Whew! That sounds like a close call!

Thanks Bonds44. The second pic is my fave as well. I had my wife drive the 4Runner down the road as I stood by the side of the road with the camera. I used a fairly slow shutter speed (1/10th of a sec) and panned the camera to follow the truck. The slow shutter speed, combined with the motion...

Thanks for the compliments guys! Glad you liked the pics. All the pics were shot on a Nikon D70 with a Nikon 18-200mm AF-S VR zoom. Stay tuned for more pics after this coming weekend, when I hope to get out on some mountain trails.

Thanks guys. Coming from you guys, that is high praise indeed! I have some mods coming - bigger tyres, bull bar, driving lights etc. Will also be posting more pics from travels in the next few days. Stay tuned!!
