Wish I was upgrading like that! Any plans for a lift and tires,etc?

Don't plan to lift, clearance and travel are awesome already for the off roading I do. Definately tires and sliders.

Was hoping you were going to announce your sex change, but it’s just disappointing click bait.

Any taller and it doesn't look like it'd fit in the garage. Nice upgrade.

Sorry to disappoint, I think.
You are correct. I measured the garage and went off specs, close fit. There was some puckering when first pulling in.

There’s no room in my one-car garage anyway, but my lifted 4R with stuff on the roof is too tall to fit.

I probably paid around 10k less than it cost new. I paid more for CPO, low miles, and not a speck of rust. This truck beat my expectations by far, it's spotless inside, outside and underneath. I test drove a few that looked good on the outside but were orange underneath. I have been planning this since I bought the 4runner new in 2012. Wasn't going to let pandemic and LC shortage screw it up, especially after a couple commutes in traffic after dropping kids off at school. Now can leave at zero dark thirty and get to work before everybody wrecks. My commute went from 1.5hrs+ of bumper to bumper stop and go to a smooth 40 minutes at 70mph! Still think the 4runner is great! It runs great, drives great, has no rust and will be part of my arsenal until she dies.
think that will be his next post after his son wrecks the 4runner. :toilet:

Agree, even with 237,000 miles. I hope I'll get at least another 100k or 200k out of it, but you never know.

Seating for 8! Would have been nice when my kids were younger, been driving the 4runner since they were 6 and 3!
Was always the plan. Now have to figure out what to do when the other one starts driving in 2 years.
Sure is. I had to work my butt off at McDonald's for my first car. It was a 1980 Toyota pickup (this was in 1995) covered in rust and falling apart and had over 300k miles. Took me a while to get the $300 to buy it from my neighbor. Got paid $4.25/hour back then.

I was making $5.15/hr when I got my first car, 1986 Camry that had apparently been used as a battering ram for several years by the previous owner, for $400 off a family friend. I don't remember it having a boatload of miles, but it was in very poor cosmetic condition. That trail will easily live on another 200k miles for Jivewalkers son.
