Hello everyone. Just purchased my first 4Runner this weekend. I'm no stranger to Toyotas though. I've owned 6 Toyotas over the years. A friend recommended looking for a 4Runner to replace my dying 1999 Explorer. Can't believe I didn't own one years ago. It has 207,000 miles, but rides better than other SUVs with half the mileage. Bought it from the original owner who took excellent care of it. It's in great condition except of course the rusty rear bumper. Hope to learn a lot about these SUVs on the forum and appreciate any tips for a newbie. I belonged to celicasupra.com for years and I'm sure this site will be as helpful as they were.
