Hello everyone!
Wife & I just got an almost new 4Runner Off-Road Premium in Barcelona Red.
She loves it. Already got our first mod installed and came here looking for advice and tips.

To be fair, I've got a Tundra to tinker with. So we have to split the mod budget.

Nice, jealous of that Tundra! My wife says I'm ruining our truck with all my mods, and that's with the mod budget coming outta my income. She makes good money so next is a white Sequoia coming to fit more children toys. Apparently I'm not allowed to Dremel cut a good portion of the Sequoia bumper off, too.
