    Greetings to all!
    I recently joined the 4RUNNER team, acquiring a 2022 Navy Blue SR5 Premium. With a newborn (came in 13 hours after we purchased the vehicle) and a Lab (mixed with Great Dane and Boxer) we had to transition from the 2015 Nissan Altima.
    Besides in the Army, I am not used to driving SUV/Trucks. So, here I am trying to get to know the community and see wanting to remain in the 4RUNNER family for a very long time.
    I don't know much about MODS or any of the #CoolPeopleStuff that one usually gets into as a 4RUNNER owner. I hope I can pick y'all's brains on here20220106_164715.jpg .

    Thanks for having me

    Congrats on the newborn! Also, congrats on the new ride. Excellent color choice!

    All the mods out there can be confusing, but the great thing about the 4Runner is that even in stock form, it's very capable.

    I think some great first mods are things that enhance the functionality of the vehicle, and protect it. Things like seat covers, WeatherTech floor mats, cargo areas covers, and LED interior lighting. My two first mods were a neoprene center console lid cover, and a storage tray for inside the console. Little things, but so handy!

    Whatever you decide to do, good luck with that, and good luck with that little one!

    Congrats and congrats, welcome to the forum, the stock Runner does fine as is. Take your time and get a feel for it.

    Thanks, Gents!
    It sure is exciting to have a newborn (1st one) and a new ride.
    I agree that the stock 4Runner does well enough. And I'll look into those minor mods to start off with also. I enjoy the extra space and the possibility of folding the seats. But having an roof rack compartment will come in super handy when it comes time to change duty station. So, that's a plan for now.
    P.S. it's an honor to serve and thanks for the support.
