ParaRunner's Adventures

Hello everyone,

I figure I should start a thread to have a place to share my adventures, any upgrades, and updates in general.

As some of you know, I purchased the 24 TRD Pro, aka "RODEO", back in Dec and posted a couple of pics in the introductions. Like many of you, this is not my first 4Runner. I had a 2016 TRD Pro which I kept until 2021. Prior to that I had a Gen 3 when I lived in Japan. And I have driven several Gen3s, 4s, and several Land Cruisers and Fortuners in several countries during longer work trips. Needless to say, a huge fan of Toyota trucks in general.

Also.. I have tried a few Jeep Wranglers in between. Not a huge fan but I bought those mostly because I got great deals or I simply couldn't find a 4Runner that I wanted and Jeeps were easily available at the time.

Regarding the Rodeo, it had been parked since Dec for the most part since I live overseas at the moment. I went back home this past month and roadtripped Rodeo across the US from Westcoast to the Eastcoast. And now its parked again until I drive it once in a while when I go home to visit family. I haven't had time to do anything to it yet but time will tell which direction I will take Rodeo i.e. leave it generally stock or bolt a bunch of stuff on to it.

Anyway.. some pics below since we all know threads are worthless without any pics!

Rodeo!
