Just got her home and ...

[Florida Vince]

I'M STOKED!!! Picked her up with 2 miles on her and I'm already thinking of the possibilities. Definitely a great decision and rides soooo smooth. Already added a couple of gadgets for the kids (and for me ) and setting up for a 10 day trip to GA in June/July.

Put in a ProClip 7" tablet dashboard mount for on the road audio and GPS with our Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, a headrest mount with another Samsung Tab 2 paired with three TDK 700 Kleer wireless headphones for rear seat entertainment and a booster seat so our three kids can enjoy it all.

On order are a set of 5100's to level it out, a 10mm spacer to even it up, a Baja Rack and Rain-X cargo carrier for the top, a Thule bicycle carrier for the rear, a 4" stubby antenna and 15% ceramic tint all around with clear blue for the windshield. Afterwards we will put in a set of 285's and go from there.

Our neighbors probably think were drug dealers with two new 2013's in our driveway this week, or we won "a leg of the race" on the Amazing Race LOL!

Here's a couple of pics:

Did you win a Toyota raffle? :lmao:

Great color choice sir, and it sounds like you've already got some nice plans for the 4runner! Welcome to the club

Just noticed the Beastie Boys playing on your XM :rockon:

Hi Fla Vince,

It's such a beautiful truck, being red and all, and reminds me of when I picked up my "Gen-3 red SR5". Congradulations, ENJOY!!!

 

[jspagna1]

Sweet looking truck. Love the color. Keep us posted with the updates.

 

[shawn719]

Ah yes, the Salsa Red SR5. I remember bringing mine home for he first time...oh, the memories. The 4R is all grown up now.:fro:

 

[Stifler]

nice! needs some OEM running boards.... I have some fro real cheap!:biggrin2:

 

[Avalanche]

Sweet rig. Welcome to the family. It may be called Salsa Red, but it sounds like you are going to refer to the color as garnet for your Noles.

 

[Florida Vince]

Thanks for the kudos everyone!

Being we're a house divided with the girls going for the Noles and us boys Gator fans, I only let my daughter into the picture because she's so darn cute and as excited about the T4R as I am. Lol.

Stifler - I appreciate the offer on the running boards but I ordered mine without them on purpose. I think they take away from the sporty nature of the T4R and really don't have a problem getting in and out. Thanks for the offer though!

What I am eying up right now are some better quality mats (in tan), some Thule crossbars, fairing and basket (decided against the Baja Rack), a shorter antenna and tint by next week.

On Monday I'm having Llumar 15% ceramic tint put in all around and Llumar Air Blue on the windshield and sunroof - all for $325. Not too shabby of a deal if you ask me. I'll post some pics once it's done

I'm browsing the web and classifieds to hopefully score some deals here soon for items on my T4R wish list. Fingers crossed!

 

[Avalanche]

LOL well I stand corrected... Salsa Red for the house divided.

Do you ever just go out and sit in it without going anywhere?

 

[tacobill]

Love that color.........

 

[Net4n6]

Do you ever just go out and sit in it without going anywhere?

Or sleep in it while it parked in the garage?

haha I agree 100% mine are coming off

 

[Florida Vince]

Or sleep in it while it parked in the garage?

Lol! No, not yet but the weeks not over ....

My wife accused me of wanting to cook out this evening only because I have to pull the 4R out of the garage and apparently I stare at it while I'm grilling (ummm, she knows me well :redface.

While thinking of some upgrade possibilities, she grabbed the keys and took off in it for her first test ride. She came back loving it and trying to claim it as her own.

I was just glad she returned it in one piece and before it hit 100 miles on the odometer!

 

[osceola]

Welcome to the club. Good to see another Central Florida 4Runner on here...and the Seminole shirt puts it over the top!

Thought I was the only..."obsessive, compulsive, card carrying, pathological, 5G 4Running, certifiable Junkie aficionado, 4wheel-o-phile", that behaved that-a-way...partner?! :cowboy:

"Now say that 3 times real fast" lol
