    none yet, new to me project truck.
    So after 14 years of stuffing the Honda sedan full and camping to fly fish throughout the western U.S.... a friend sold me his old 4runner after getting his "new" 2000 Land Cruiser. It got to the point that the car wouldn't fit another person and their gear comfortably along with my kit and at the price he wanted, I'm in.

    So here I am looking for techniques and ideas to keep the 4runner reliable and fit. No rock crawling, just wanna get down that trail to the river and if it gets a little sticky, 4x4 to get out.

    Gonna miss the 32 mpg though...

    Welcome, and just keeping up on the recommended maintenance will give you what your looking for. Maybe tires depending on your conditions.
