I’m technically in Everett, but practically in east Millcreek. Impatiently awaiting my first 4Runner, Inferno Red Trail Premium with moon roof (must have for us) to be delivered to Michael’s Toyota of Bellevue at the end of April/beginning of May. It’s our first brand new vehicle, now we get to wait for it to finish being made and floated from Japan.
We currently have a 2005 AWD Nissan Murano with ~160k miles that we’ve gotten stuck twice in sand and once in snow. We dug ourselves out in every case, but it usually meant we missed where we wanted to go. It’s simply not acceptable that our vehicle can’t go where we want to go.

This is doubly the case when it’s a location my wife wants to photograph!
I’ve been lurking this forum and watching many videos of mods to make. The top of my list is sliders, front bumper with winch, skid plates, and rear bumper with tire mount and extra jerrycan space. I’m 100% new to this scope of work on vehicles, but am pretty handy with tools and have replaced wheel bearings and smaller things on the Murano before. I’m sure I’ll be searching this forum and asking advice where I can’t find answers!
My wife, 7 year old daughter, and I are roughly planning a 4+ week trip to Alaska in the summer of 2020, and we usually camp at least once a month, even in the snow. We are hoping to take the new 4Runner on a lot of trips and get it broken in before the Alaska trip!
Hoping to meet other 4Runner owners in the coming months and have a great time overlanding!
