2011 4Runner Trail, 1989 FJ62

Hi All!
I’m a lifelong Toyota lover! I just recently purchased a 2011 4Runner Trail, its my first T4R, but my 10th Toyota 4x4. I’ve had 6 Hilux, 1 Tacoma, 1 Tundra and I also own a 89 FJ62 (for sale). My Toy 4x4 love affair started in 1987 when I was 19 and purchased my first 1982 Hilux. I still miss it, we took every trail in Colorado and beyond. Love my “new” 4R and can’t wait to see where it takes me.
