New to the 4TH Gen...excited

[emsmatt]

Hi everyone, just wanted to say hello and say Ive missed this site and am happy to be back. I was an active 5TH Gen member for awhile but sold the '10, bought a '10 Tundra, sold the Tundra and now back to where I belong. Looking forward to slowly building her up. She's a 2008 SR5 4x4, all stock,
88K miles with all services done on time at the local dealer. Got for $18,500 which I felt was a good price. Below is where I am and where I've been...

Congrats and welcome back!:thumb:
Just curios, what was the main reason for leaving the 5th gen 4Runner?

Welcome back! While you're at it, why did you get rid of the Tundra? I have been looking into getting one

I LOVED my '10 Runner, bought it new and stock and built her up. Got married tho and got 2 step daughters plus my daughter so 3 car seat didn't fit in the 4Runner so had to let it go. Got the CrewMax for the HUGE backseat and it worked really good for the kiddos not so great for the bank account. With the lift/wheels combo+the V8 I was only getting about 11-13MPG. I missed 4Runners, this is my 3rd one, and no that 1 kid is out of car seat, 1 is going to be in 2 months that only leaves 1 carseat left. Sooooo, back in a Runner, better gas mileage, hobby build up, and....BACK IN A 4RUNNER!!!

Congrats, nice looking truck! V6 correct? If it's a V8 I hope you had the dealer do the timing belt/water pump before buying
