Out of newbie jail...another new east bay CA member
Hey all, JB here from NorCal.

I helped my Dad buy a Camry a few weeks back and saw a real nice '18 Off Road on the showroom floor. A week later...the right deal...the wife's blessing and here we are.

I'm coming out of a 2012 BMW X5 35d. The Toyota doesn't have the power or handling of the X5 but I'm getting over that pretty quickly. ;)

It's got a "dealer installed" 3" lift, MHT Fuel wheel/Toyo tire package from DSI. It also has a custom interior with heated seats from Auto Haus. Loving the interior, that pushed me over the hump. It also came with Cilajet, complete paint protection package, etc...

Of course, only a week later and I already have more lighting, luggage and performance mods on the way...it's a losing battle to try and keep anything I own stock! ;)










Here are my other fun cars:

700HP 911 Turbo:




400hp '63 Chevy II/Nova:
Timeless Muscle: Josh Brooks' 1963 Chevy II Nova Subtly Stands Out






Anyhow, I look forward to learning from many of you and enjoying the T4R community.

Welcome!

Everyone gets the mod bug at some point. Ha!

BTW, that 911 looks familiar.... Ever take it autocrossing at Marina with the SCCA guys?

Thanks...yeah, it bit me badly. ;) Oh well, life is short and it brings me enjoyment.

No, haven't been out with the SCCA guys. I'm more of an open roadrace track guy, although that was mostly all bikes for years. The car will be soon.

Cheers Matt.

Very nice.
I love the interior too. I can see why it pushed you over the edge, so to speak.

White on black, the best combo in my opinion.

Right on, thanks!

Montana, love that state. How are you liking the move to the big sky?

I love 911 turbo's, but I can't seem to figure out why your front bumper looks so off... Is that aftermarket?

Also, you must really love the 4R to change from a twin-turbo diesel in the X5 to a underpowered V6 in the 5th gen 4runner :P

Why my front bumper looks so off? I'm running a Joe Toth front splitter, the bumper is stock.

The loss in power is being remedied a bit with mods but all in all, it's got enough power to get me around and if anything, it's slowing me down a tad (which pleases the wife).

Right on brother!

Picked up my '18 TRD OR Premium 2 weeks ago as well!

Definitely loving it, I'm in South Bay as well. Glad to know there's another happy brother across the bay
