First let me tell you guys & galls about the performance of the 4Runner on its first real road trip. One way the trip was 426 miles, which was completed on one tank of gas each way (So nice not having to stop for gas). The total time one way was just over 8 hours, 7 hours moving time.

[Koz]

Nice pics! Too bad about the donuts -- at $125 per pair, that's $750 a dozen!

What did you use to air the tires back up?
