So I've been lurking around here for the past while as I was deciding on my vehicle purchase. It came down to a Tacoma DC, FJ, and 4Runner with the 4R winning out in the end (obviously :D). After waiting a couple weeks for it to get here my silver 2011 TE was delivered on Tuesday and I've been loving it since then. It's currently stock with the exception of Michelin LTX A/T 2s and a stubby antenna with Husky liners on the way. The truck is going to be my fly fishing vehicle and daily driver so it probably won't get modded out much.

Speaking of the stubby antenna, I was driving around to some part stores on Friday afternoon looking for one. On my way from one shop to the next (yeah I could've called ahead but it was way more fun to drive the truck around) I'm stopped at a red light and an FJ Cruiser pulls up next to me. He rolls his window down and starts asking me about the 4R, telling me how good it looks, that he's thinking of trading his FJ in for one, etc. Of all the vehicles I've owned this is the first time a complete stranger has stopped me like that so it was a pretty cool feeling.

Anyhow, thanks to all the posters on the forum for providing so much useful info that helped me make the final decision on what has so far turned out to be a great purchase.

Welcome. :surfer:
 
Welcome... you are going to have fun :guitar3:

Yeah, I already have been. Took it out fishing on the weekend and got it nice and dirty in the process. It's a good sign when you can see mud spots all the way up on your sunroof, right?

Never thought much of the sliding cargo tray until I used it to get easier access to my boots, waders, etc. and now I don't know how I lived without it. The cutout on the rear hatch is also perfect for leaning rods against and you can stand under the hatch to get geared up in the rain. Perfect fishing vehicle :)
