Picked it up last night. Nothing too fancy but we are pretty happy with it.
Nothing fancy? It's a 4-Runner for crying out load. Best SUV's ever made IMO. Though I might be a little biased.

What set up you going with on life and wheel/tires?

That's a good looking T4R. As far as blacking out the emblems, I don't know if I would do it just yet because the vehicle is new. I would enjoy it for a while before I black out any emblems IMO. But if you decide to go that route, I used Testors Paint (Blazing Black) along with Testors Clear Coat. The blazing black gives it a black pearl look.

Looks awesome! I have a favor to ask, the new shoreline blue looks like it really depends on the lighting for the color. Since there are none I've found around me, how close would you say it's to the color of my car below? I'm very partial to this shade of blue.
Thanks, and congrats on the new toy!
I just crossed over 10k on mine.
Heated seats are wonderful. I've found that for cruising around town now that the weather is a lil nicer, if you open the sunroof and take the back window down, or about half down, you get that nice open airflow, but without all the wind and loose papers flying madly around the interior. I really enjoy the sport shift for needing to use for quick downshifting to slow down instead of using all brakes.
I'm debating on whether or not I want to change out my Limited 20's for 17's or 18's in order to find good all terrains at a lil cheaper price....however for the guy who's got the 275 yokohama's on his limited.....those are sweet. i want some.
no gripes so far....lately averaged about 21.5 to 22 cruising on the freeway between GA and TN. However hubby and his lead foot can drop it to 16 or 17 when he gets into it.
Does anyone else use their ECO meter to gauge their driving for fuel mileage?

As far as I know, you are the first, as mine is still on the boat and a day or two from the unloading dock.
Thanks for posting the pics, my wife and I have been anxious to see one. What state are you in?

I am in Hawaii for now but I will be driving her across country in september. I can't wait. It should be a great drive. From San Diego to New Hampshire down to North Carolina.

I know the color of that car, it was just like my 87 Supra. The new Shoreline blue is much darker, also at night it gets real dark. nice car BTW

Nice... I briefly contemplated buying one from there and having it shipped, but figuring out the taxes and licensing was driving me cuckoo.

I just got mine a few days ago, but I've been using it constantly and not driving agressively! But for some reason, my MPG-o-meter started off at 0 when I first got the truck (which originally had 1 mile on it) and now at 100 miles later, it is reading 14.0 mpg and slowly increasing by 0.1 miles every half-mile. Anyone know why this is? Why am I not showing 18-19 mpg like most of you others are?

I am seeing the same thing and I have about 150 miles now. I am not sure maybe we need to hit reset or something.. haha:shrug:
