First 4Runner

Greetings from Oregon, where you can smoke pot until you chose to die! But enough of our political landscape!

I just bought my first 4Runner last month. Drove off the lot a 2018 SR5 Premium so we could have the third row. While not my first Toyota, it is certainly my favorite. We are now a 100% Toyota household. My wife has her 2007 Camry XLE and my daughter is driving my 2005 Camry SE with over 260K and running strong.

While I have always driven trucks, with the exception of the '05, as we no longer have our hobby farm I went with my dream vehicle which is the 4Runner. So far I am very happy with it with the only exception being the "tinny" sound the doors make when closing them vs. the full size trucks I've had. That's to be expected though, I am sure.

One thing about this site I have learned is that, well, most of you are a bad influence. My expenditures and wish list both continue to grow. And just when I think I have made up my mind, someone posts about a similar product and I start all over. I honestly have no concern adding to it though as I not only know I will be driving this for a very long time but when the time comes, it will probably go to our son or will be my "don't care about scratches, let's go!" rig.

Cheers!
Jeff

Congratulations
 
That's one mean looking 4Runner, in a good way of course! I'm a chip off the old block and have found myself sticking to Toyota's too. My dad's old 98 camry went through the rigor of me and my 3 older brothers driving it during our high school years and it came out battered but still fighting.
 
Here's one after its first bath. One I get the added goodies arriving today and added I'll take more.

Welcome! So fresh and clean! Are those some kind of window covers to keep rain out?

Yes, Weathertech rain deflectors. I've always used them in my trucks I've owned over the years. I gotta say though, on this rig they don't seem to fit as sung and do have a bit of wind noise with windows up or down.

They add a nice look to the 4runner. Too bad we don’t get much rain down here.
 
Congrats! I come from a Toyota family and was practically raised around these things. I decided to pull the trigger and purchase my dream car. What a feeling!
