    ‘24 TRD Off Road Premium 4Runner
    Hey guys. I’m new but not lol. I had a 2020 SR5 for a few years and posted here occasionally back then. It was awesome and I loved it. It had King suspension, VTX wheels, 285/75r17 (34”) Toyo ATIII’s, viper cut bumper, and some other odds and ends. It was white.

    Then I got the bright idea to trade it in for a 2024 Tundra. Before I realized all the issues those have been having I did Fox suspension, wheels and tires. As time went on I really began to dislike the truck.

    Today I fixed the problem and got back in a 5th gen. I picked up a 2024 TRD Offroad Premium in black. It has 30K miles on it. This one in particular does not have KDSS and does not have a sun roof. Two things I actually didn’t want. It ended up being my ideal spec. The dealership did the 30K service and put a brand new set of Falken Rubitrek tires on it before putting it on the lot.

    I’ve only had it for the day but so far I love it. It feels so nice to be back in a 5th gen and this is so much nicer than my 20 SR5. I especially like the interior and how much less silver trim there is. Also the LED headlights and fog lights are so much better then the halogens on my 20.

    I have plans for it but it will be probably 10-12 months before I can do it. When I do it will be Kings again and 34’s again which will necessitate a BMC and pinch weld smash. I’m looking forward to building it out.
