    Seized upon an end of lease, low miles, and a crazy lease offer on the '24 ORPs to go back to the beginning...

    Yes, it had to be a Princess Bride quote because, our new ORP is "The Man in Black" - Westley (not my fault - I'm outnumbered 4:1 with women in the house...that's my story, I'm sticking to it)

    Initial plans:
    Likely a 2-3" lift Bilstein 6112, 5160s (too stiff without more weight?) - I had 5100's on the old one?
    32-33" tires
    eventually a partial bumper replacement, roof rack...who knows where next :D

    I love living in Boise....except when it comes to trying to shop on a Sunday and NOBODY'S OPEN!

    So are you saying you are doing a lift and a bumper replacement on a leased 4runner?

    Lift, certainly....bumper is TBD. I may or may not return at end of the lease. There were no issues with the upgrades I'd done for the lease I just returned.

    I don't know that "plan to" is necessarily accurate - I had planned on buying my '21, but the current lease offer afforded us an opportunity to upgrade. For this one, especially since the upgrades will be "family projects", I kind of expect we'll keep it. Who knows what the future holds, though?
