Hi from CT | New to the 4R & Toyota Family

Hey everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi. I’m a newb to the 4runner and Toyota family, but I’ve been lurking around for quite some time now. It all started late last spring/early summer when I began narrowing down my next car/SUV purchase.

Long story short, life happened pretty quick these past 3 years… wife, kid, house, etc lol. With a growing family (#2 now on the way), i knew I needed something bigger…

I’ve always been into cars. Never really had a “practical” daily driver. Always spent way too much money on them and modifying them. So I knew I wanted to get a fun vehicle that not only I, but the whole family could enjoy. Started narrowing down my searches to old school body on frame SUVs.

Honestly, this all started with me wanting a Wrangler, but after a lot of back and forth, I ended up with a new to me ’17 4Runner TRD Pro and am happy I did! Picked this up at the end of November just in time to garage my other toy for the winter (E46 M3), and have been loving it since.

I’ve done a few minor modifications so far, nothing major yet as I just wanted to enjoy the rig as is… But we all know how that mod bug hits lol. Anyway, here are a couple pictures from the day I picked her up.

 

welcome, nice

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks everyone!

Haha yea. I really didn't want to do white again but I just couldn't resist how good it looked with all the black accents. Even the wifey... Before buying anything, her only request was not to do another white car (currently our other cars are also white), but when we she saw it in person, she herself said I had to do white again LOL. At least it's easier to keep clean than black. Such a love / hate relationship with jet black cars.
