    After calling over 100 dealers in every state inside United States, I finally found 2017 Toyota 4runner TRD PRO in Cement color. The dealer was AutoNation Austin Texas. They had two available with no waiting list on these vehicles. Amazing.
    I've called several dealers in my state and they had $10,000 mark up or 80 people in waiting list, one year wait time. When I gave up, I looked on CARS.com and called every dealer on that website.
    Could not get any discount, and paid the MSRP of $43,745. This had it installed option price that $2374. It took me 2 to 3 weeks emailing the salesman and finally getting the vehicle. Shipping the vehicle to my state was $850 and paid the state tax where I reside.
    All I have to say is, if you really wanted it, put a lot of effort to obtain your goal or dream car. =)
    I'll be slowly modding my vehicle and copying other peoples mods too. Hopefully, I can make this vehicle into my dream ride. Thank you.

    Well good for you. I love that color. I was all set to get a Pro and ran into the same obstacles ($10,000 premiums and year long waiting lists). I decided I did not want one that badly and the TRD Off Road Premium actually has a couple of features that I wanted that are not avail on the Pro.

    I still dig the Pro though.

    Please post photos and keep us up to date on your mods.

    Enjoy.

    I just want to encourage people who are thinking of off roading to just do it. Don't think about it but just go out there and enjoy nature and scenery. =)

    Ive installed HID lower beam lights. Best upgrade because you can see the difference immediately. If you ask me of one upgrade, I recommend this upgrade. =)

    Is it really a build thread when everything is just a link to a YouTube video?

    I think someone might be trying to "build" a YouTube viewer base...?

    Yes, because Video is much better than the picture and words, IMO. It's not someone else's video. All the video was made by me and it's all about 4runner TRD PRO.

    I don't care if I get a followers on Youtube.. It's about the views on YouTube. I share the info I have and the viewers gain knowledge with me videos. I think it's WIN WIN situation. I don't even make money doing YouTube.. Just a hobby. =)

    Sorry. Seriously.... =)
    There are so many people attacking so I overreacted. I’m stupid. Thanks for viewing the video. It’s so hard to film, edit and post. Hahaha

    No it was probably my fault, it was not a good time for a joke.....I would like to post youtube videos but just the sheer expense of buying a camera, editing software, etc., an then learning how to work the equipment...then posting the video...I just don't have the time right now.
