Lifelong Toyota owner. From cars to truck. Tercels, Corollas, Camrys….Tacoma Prerunners and Tundras. I finally made it. Been wanting a 4Runner since 2001. And I finally made it.
Thanks for letting me join the forum. I look forward to searching thru the posts and seeing who has done what or checking out the questions getting answered.
Thanx again!!
