Didn't do anything crazy with it- desert trips, hauling my dirtbike around, camping. Drove my first child- daughter- home from the hospital in it... a fact I remind her of every time we see a Desert Dune Metallic 4Runner on the road. She's almost 20 now.
(the millionth time I've told her)
"Hey Chloe... you know we brought you home from the..."
"Yes Dad... I know."
Doing a lot of backpacking now so I thought it was time to get back into something I could take further into the mountains. 4Runner was calling me back.
Thanks to a member from the other forum who is also here,

, I got a great deal on a 2023 Nautical Blue ORP. I'll post that story in a separate thread.
Here it is before a 2000 mile road trip back home to San Diego from North Dakota.

Nice!!! great drive to get back into owning a Runner btw! I didn't buy my first til 2002 so you got me beat by a few years! I moved away from 4runners for a few years as well, and just recently bought a 5th gen, i think we both know you will never regret it! Welcome back! Congrats on the purchase!
