    Hey all!

    New to the forum and wanted to pop in and introduce myself. I've been on Bronco and Mustang forums before, so nice to see 4Runners have something similar and meet everyone.

    Just recently purchased a new to me silver 4th gen locally:
    1 Owner
    170k Miles
    2004 Sport Edition V8
    Interior is like new, previous owner had floor mats and seat covers
    Runs like a champ with no major mechanical issues, will most likely do timing belt and full system flush soon.

    Using this as my winter/overlanding vehicle up here in Alaska, so please send some useful mods my way! I've purchased a set of Method wheels, window tint, new radio for CarPlay/Android Auto, and looking into a lift before settling on a set of tires. With no lift, I'm looking at either factory size 265/65r17 or upsizing to the 265/70r17, with a lift I might bump to 275 or 285/70r17.

    Thanks for the help!
