    Hi my name is Carrie! I’m from northern Ohio. I have wanted a 4Runner for probably 10 years. Seriously, I would never shut up about it - LOL! I have four kids and they all would say when they grow up they’re gonna buy me one. Well, a little more than a month ago, my dream came true! I kept putting it off because of… Well, four kids… Haha! But I just treated myself and said “it’s my turn!” I love it so much that I want to live in it! Even though there are a couple things I wish I could change and that’s why I came here. I’m so glad and more than extremely excited to be a part of this group! Hello all!!

    Thank you!! I like yours too!! Although it sure shows dirt fast, doesn’t it? But, when it’s clean, it’s fabulous!

    Haha! I’ve already installed nerf bars, a fancy flower hitch cover with lock, got the Carista and changed lighting and removed seat belt alarm and stuff, bought a center console tray insert, and also, what my husband refers to as my “gay rhinestone license plate covers”... now I need to “bad ass” it up... (as much as I can with my rhinestones and flowers on it LOL) make it bigger or something. That’s where you guys come in! Lol!

    Hello, former near-Akronite here. Good choice. You can girl it up visually but still be BA... actually that might make it more BA...

    Good group on this forum. Lots of answers and advice. I'm sure you'll have fun here when you can't have fun driving (or, er, living in) your Runner.

    Congrats on the new ride. You're gonna love it.

    You mentioned you got Carista. Is there a setting on there that can turn off the never ending beeping from hell when you have to haul something a little too big to close the back hatch all the way? That would be worth the price alone.

    I’m not sure. Try checking on their website or google. I did love that it got rid of the ECO bar as well as the green light (but you could remove just the green Eco light from your car settings)... I haven’t had to haul anything yet. I didn’t notice that option to remove that alarm. I’m pretty sure it was just for the seatbelt alarm but you could always check online.

    Part of my motivation for getting my Runner is the fact it has room to sleep in. One never knows when your car might need to become your house! :rofl:
