    Hello!

    Just wanted to introduce myself and my 2006 V8 4Runner Sport "TacoRunner". I bought my 4Runner about five years ago when I was stationed in southern California (Fort Irwin) and absolutely fell in love with the platform, offroading, overlanding and the communities surround both. After a few years in the desert I moved to Oahu and had an amazing time exploring the island and meeting some amazing people. I moved once again to central Texas where I quickly "deployed" and never really had the opportunity to explore the area. Now I'm getting ready to move back home to Arizona to start my business within the overlanding community.

    About the Runner, it started out as a bone stock 2006 V8 4Runner Sport. I quickly started making my first mods to make it look a little bit tougher and function a little better for what I was doing at the time. The first iteration of suspension, wheels and tires went on but wouldn't last for long.

    Things quickly spiraled out of control after I saw my first "tacorunner" on Instagram and knew it was something I HAD to do. One thing led to another and here we are, I'm driving my dream 4Runner with all the goodies I could ever want on it! I still have a ton of things I plan on knocking out on it before its "finished" but I'll eventually get there!

    I look forward to getting to know y'all!
