    Hey all,

    Name’s Maddie. I’ve been riding around in a 2005 4.7L 4Runner for the last 4 years and I’m pretty convinced it’s the best purchase I ever made. I bought her used in Virginia Beach and she’s gone on a lot of adventures with me - from cruising up and down the east coast, going cross country from Maryland to California when I separated from the Navy, and now to bumping around on Oahu, she’s been my daily driver and my literal ride-or-die. I don’t have much time left with her (between high mileage and having to leave Hawaii soon on husband’s orders), but I’m a full-blown 4Runner enthusiast at this point and wouldn’t be surprised if I wind up grabbing another 4Runner when I get to where we’re going next.

    Thanks for having me, and looking forward to the discussions.
