    Excited to be here! Moved back from Salt Lake where the 4runner idea got planted in my head. After seeing 3 on my street alone I pulled the trigger. 2022 TRD Sport. Cannot wait to jump into mods. This thing drives like a champ.

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    Welcome aboard and nice rig! Before you do any serious mods, drive it for 3 - 6 months to see what you truely need vs what you want. I bet your wants will change in time. Plus you'll get new or better ideas and it'll save you time & money.
