New 2003 4Runner owner

[ptung07]

Hi,
Thanks for the great forums. I've been reading up about the 4Runner before buying it. Well, I just recently purchased a 2003 Toyota Certified 4Runner Sport Edition 4x4 V8. Its in an excellent/like new condition and only has 17,400 miles! I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle.
I paid $25,201 for this truck. However, this vehicle drives like a car!
Once again, thanks for the great forums!

how on earth did you find an 03 with less than 18k? that sounds like my dad who found an 81 prelude with 35k a few years ago.

Yeah, I was very surprised! The carfax looked clean, 1 owner, who originally bought the car from the dealership I bought it from. I am loving the newness of the car and XREAS, the car doesn't roll as much as the sequoia and feels like a "car".

do you have any plans to modify anything, or are you just going to leave it stock for a while.

I have already bought this exhaust tip from Adavanced Auto Parts for $24, which looks pretty good. Its cheaper than toyota's one though
I am looking into one of those skid plates, but they are very expensive!
