    First time 4runner owner, picked up a 2018 TRD OR (w/ KDSS) and never looked back!

    I wanted to have one of those awesome looking rigs you see all over social media, but figured I would use the vehicle first, do some trips, and see what I really needed. (Totally had nothing to do with the fact I didn't have much money to invest in the vehicle at all...)

    The day I got it I was so proud, and I had to touch dirt.

    And over the next several months did I not let the fact I was on stock tires slow me down or not go on a trip with some buddies.

    And getting myself into some questionable situations...

    Of course eventually I did get tires, lift, sliders, drawer system, roof rack...then bigger tires..oh yeah, we're in deep now!

    So much more to come but after 2 1/2 years I gotta say the 4Runner is such an amazing vehicle!
