    Hello All,

    Long time lurker, figured I’d finally join. My name is Joe and I currently live in Okinawa, Japan. I’ll be getting stationed in San Antonio, Texas in January and I’m excited to get back to the states. I had a ‘21 Venture before I moved to Japan and recently flew back to San Antonio to buy my current T4R, a 2023 TRD ORP in MGM. It’s currently sitting in my next unit’s parking lot waiting for me. I wonder if she misses me as much as I miss her. My love for 4Runners started when I was stationed in Okinawa from 1999-2004. I purchased my first, a 1996 Hilux SURF, during that time. I was selective in what I wanted and ordered my 2023 without a sunroof but with the MTM and TRD Pro wheels. I’ll add Falken Wildpeaks soon but not sure how much I’ll be modding it in the short term. I look forward to learning from many of you and hopefully linking up with those of you in the San Antonio area.

    Respectfully,
    Joe

    Safe travels. I truly enjoyed my time in Japan (91'-94').

    Take me back to Tokyo Road...
