    Thanks for the Add! I've owned this 2011 4Runner TE since 2014. I purchased it with 29k miles and it now has 105k miles. My wife and I have taken it all over the western U.S. and once to Indiana/Michigan. We've traversed passes here in Colorado such as Black Bear, Imogene, Engineer and countless others. It's been a great rig and I look forward to keeping it for many years to come.

    Side note: We've spent more time travelling through Africa than we have here in the U.S. The Kalahari and the Skeleton coast are two of my favorite places to wheel. We've never shipped the 4Runner over there, but always hired a Hilux or Land Cruiser and the occasional Defender.

    I look forward to learning more about the 4Runner and contributing what I can to this Forum.

    Thanks,

    Andy

    Thanks, inspiration for the yellow stripe comes from Africa. Many of the larger vehicles there have to run with reflective yellow tape, taxis, trucks, trailers etc...and reminds me daily of our travels. I'm down in the Palmer Lake area. You enjoying less traffic up there?

    Thats a great idea - I run some reflective stuff on my motorcycle, why not on the Runner? The less traffic is nice, but I wish it was like this w/out the virus too!

    I've been here for 23 years and work for the USFS. I try to regularly wheel and camp with friends and family. Please stay in contact. We'll show you around a bit and there's always new stuff to explore here. That's one reason that I enjoy it so much...a lifetime of adventures in one area!
