    Hello all,

    New here, but not new to forums.

    My gf is about to trade her 3rd gen Tacoma in for a 5th gen t4r. Excited to get working on a new project.

    We haven't made the switch yet, still shopping around for the right deal, but stoked to be here and become a part of the community

    - Mike

    Here are our current rigs -

    Making some fun money for 4runner mods :D

    I was wondering what was up with all the goodies for sale! Should be a nice transition to a T4R!

    Thanks! I'll be sure to share pictures when we get it, then get a build started for it. Always fun to keep track of progress and changes and such :)

    Thank you :headbang:

    Haha thanks Paul!
    Dude, Colton wants to run JB with his runner. We're fitting 35s on it now, he picked up one old one to test before he buys a new set. Either that or Holcomb, I still haven't run Holcomb.

    Thank you :dancingbacon:

    Thank you :cheers:

    Thank you :fistbump:

    Sounds excellent Mike! You know I'm down to run John Bull(3N10)!!! :headbang: IMG_0530.jpgI love running Holcomb Creek(3N93)too. One of my faves! Just give me heads up and I'll make it happen. :thumbsup:IMG_0485.jpg

    Haha I'll make so many friends so fast with tacoma pics :laughing:



    I'm excited to give Holcomb a try. After all, I've run a part of it getting on at lower larga, but I missed two of the hardest parts.

    I'll for sure give you a call when it happens, just don't know how long from now that'll be with this virus running rampant.

    On the road headed to the dealer, so long as they don’t change anything we’ll be driving home in a new 4runner tonight.

    All cleaned up for the trade -

    Hahaha. We actually kept her 4runner Pro wheels. These wheels and tires came from Colton when he bought his 3rd gen t4r and then put his SCS wheels on the t4r. He’s setting his taco back to stock and taking the stockers off the new runner. Good ol’ wheel swaps left and right haha
