Before my Runner I drove a 2008.5 Mazdaspeed3 GT. I loved this car and would still be driving it if i hadn't gotten orders to Eielson AFB in Alaska. The Speed just wasnt practical for living up here. Sure was hard parting ways with it. I met alot of good friends through the Phoenix Nator group (Mazdaspeed club). Poured countless amounts of hours into this car.

Anywho, we arent here to talk about Cars! On to the 4Runner.
The day brought it home, Had stocked out my MS3 and went to the new owner a few days later. The 4Runner came with the Demello offroad Aluminum bumper and Sliders, Bilestein 5100s, stock front springs and a daystar rear spacer

The first couple things I added to the Runner is wheels, I went with the AE Alloys 012's and threw some Light Force 240 Blitz on my front bumper. I also had to add a engine block heater, oil pan heater and battery blanket.. The look the guy behind the service counter at the dealership was priceless... I think I was the first person in Phoenix to ask for that stuff! :crazy:

Doesnt look too bad for being 11 years old!
A few weeks later I drove it up to Flagstaff and Sedona AZ to visit one last time before we moved to Alaska

Shortly after that trip the movers came and we were off to Fairbanks Alaska!

A few weeks after we got to Alaska I convinced my wife that we needed an RTT... I wish I would have done this BEFORE we moved because I ended up paying about 700 bucks to get the RTT and Frontrunner rack shipped this far north

I ended up going with the TJM Yulara Tent. Its the same as many of the tents on the market today.. most are made in the same factory overseas! Got a good deal on it so i pulled the trigger!
20160416_163034 by robert wallace, on Flickr
Here the rack is setup with the Jerry can holder, Plano "Tactical" case, GoPro mount and a Shovel. I was waiting for my RTT to make it up to me.
20160506_184255 by robert wallace, on Flickr
It was a beautiful day when the Tent arrived. It was also shipped with my Icon rear springs and my OME 885s for the fronts to replace the spacers that the PO had installed.

First time using the tent was a total success. If youre on the fence about buying an RTT just do it. It gets the wife out camping so much more. I used it about 12 times this summer... Basically paid for itself if I was going to stay in a motel/hotel all those nights!
