What did you have before your 4Runner?

Saturn Ion, a sedan is not that bad but my partner insists that we need a spacious and bigger car.

2016 Tundra. Just traded it in for a 2020 4runner last week. Prior to that was a 2013 Tundra and prior to that was a 2012 Tacoma.

I like Toyota haha


Curious your take on the tundra vs the 4runner. Power/speed wise, did you notice a big dropoff?
 
well 16 other toyota 4x4's including 2 FJ40's. But I miss the 79 FJ40 and the 82 4x4 SR5 that my dad bought new the most. And 3 Mustang GT's, A mercury RS 5.0 Capri, 4 BMW 3 series including 2 really nice e30's and a RWD sport package manual trans E46 wagon, An 85 MR2, 2 79 RX7's, 02 Mini Cooper S (brand new the biggest POS I have ever owned), Acura RSX, 1st gen Honda Accord, and probably a few others I don't recall at the moment. Now I just have the 4Runner and my Vstrom 650. I restore cars for a living and get most of my crazy build stuff out of my system at work.
 
Had a 2003 Chevy Suburban that we got from my Mother in Law. I put a RC leveling key set on it, ProComp Series 34 wheel with a 285 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Loved it. Unfortunately totaled in November. Got my Gen4 T4R in December, but I miss my Suburban!

2008 Highlander. Most reliable car I've ever owned. Forced me to become a Toyota fanboy. Bought a 2020 4runner in October 2019.
 
A 90 BMW 325i that went through with first an S52 from an E36 M3, then an S54 from a 2006 Z4M. Installed the 6 speed and 5 lug suspension as well with fully adjustable suspension and 400w to main speakers, 600w to sub, used MMATS and Audison. Sold it on Bring A Trailer as the racing scene died here, and it was no fun to drive when not on the limit. It caused me to have aggressive driving, and as an instructor, I can't have that. So now I am captain slow with the 4runner without a care in the world.

Prior to this had an 88 E30 with M50 swap, Audi A4 (terrible to work on).

Damn, I always dream of having an E30 like that. I used to own a 91 Calypso E30 sedan that was originally AT. I eventually swapped a MT into it which made it somewhat rare. I eventually lost interest in it and sold it, which I regret to this day. The crazy thing is it just recently sold again on BaT.

1991 BMW 325i 5-Speed for sale on BaT Auctions - sold for $11,000 on April 22, 2020 (Lot #30,492) | Bring a Trailer

Regrets man, regrets.
 
Most recently, and I still have it: 2008 Ford Mustang GT/CS convertible.

I started off with a 94 Mazda 626 that eventually broken down and I picked up a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse. I then got a 85 MR2 as a project, but dumped it due to rust. I picked up an 84 Corolla SR5 and used the engine from the MR2 to swap it over to a 'GTS'. I eventually sold the Eclipse to go to school and got a 99 ZX6R and when I started working after college, I got a 08 Mazdaspeed3. Picked up a 16 883 Iron, sold the ZX6R. Just sold the Speed3, now looking to pick up a 5th Gen 4R
 
2018 Subaru WRX STi

I had a 2018 Subaru WRX STi prior... It's time to get my adrenaline rush off-road now... :-)
