    I guess I’ll do my official intro here. I picked up a ‘19 SR5P back in December. I traded in a ‘15 Tacoma DCSB Sport, mainly for interior room, and also because the bed became something I rarely used for things that wouldn’t fit inside a 4Runner. The resale on the Taco was amazing (dealer gave me $28k for a vehicle I paid $31k for four years ago).

    No huge plans for the 4Runner yet, although I did pick up a set of Pro wheels through the TRD sale. I had been debating between Method 701/702 in bronze when the sale happened, so I decided to save a few bucs for the time being. I’ve always had a project car of some sort, so I’m also still debating between making the 4Runner my project, or picking up another project car. I sold my ‘67 Cougar last summer and have missed playing around on cars. My wife would prefer I just modify the 4Runner, as having a car just to work on doesn’t make sense to her.

    Main usage of the vehicle is as a youth hockey hauler, but also as a backroad explorer here as well. I’d love to get my son more interested in camping, too, so hopefully we’ll have a few overnights in the mountains this summer.

    Anyway, hi everyone!

    So far, so good! I really liked the Taco, but if miles are any indication, we like the 4Runner more. I averaged about 6k/year on the Taco. I have almost 6k on the 4Runner already.

    From a new guys (to Toyota) prospective.
    1.Tires.
    2. Guards/ protection.
    3. Upgrades engine etc...
    4. Then a lift & new tires if that is what is need or desire.
    No reason to spend more than you will use...

    See, this is where I ultimately need to make my decision. If I go big on the 4Runner, that will kill any idea of a project car. That's not a big deal, but before I eliminate that possibility, I need to make sure that any mods to the 4Runner would be useful. I'm in Colorado, so of course there are options a-plenty for getting offroad, but I also need to strike the balance between usable onroad/usable offroad. Decisions, decisions....until then, the Pro wheels will sit waiting for new tires...size to be determined when I answer the rest of my questions!

    I will say, I like the look of this dealer modified 4Runner. Bilstein lift with 285s on Pro wheels. Not a fan of the steps, but everything else looks good to me. Maybe an inch lower that how it sits right now, too.
