Damn that is a NICE 4runner Aswild!
Always wanted something like that but I like to drive fast so I always end up spending my money on sports cars.
How much $$ did you sink into aftermarket mods?

I just went through the 4Runner vs Subaru question a few months back. Many variables about keeping my current truck, buying a new one, getting a 4Runner, or an Outback.
The new vehicle would be going to my oldest boy when he goes off to Flag or Reno in a handful of years, and I was more concerned about snow than off-roading for this particular vehicle. Finally, I was able to get a much better discount through a national broker on the Outback than the 4Runner. When the boy goes off to school, I'll be picking up a new Tundra for myself.
So far the Outback is peachy. Forgot what having a hatch was like. Use it for commuting and random things and my old truck for 'truck' things

Subaru Ascent, at least 12 weeks out, Toyota 4Runner not 8 passenger. Ended up buying a 2019 Honda Pilot....... It's primarily the wife's vehicle, but it seems like it will get us though the mountains durring the winter without any issues.

I don't dial 911
We got our ascent in February, took on a 1500 mile after we picked it up from the credit union. Great car, so far. Two snow storms, never a problem. The factory tires leave a lot to be desired.

Just got my TRD wheels and side steps installed on my 4Runner TRD OffRoad. This is my first 4WD vehicle. Had a 2004 Tacoma (bought in 2004) and it made me a Toyota loyalist. I got a 4WD 4Runner because I want some off road capability for when I move to a more rural location/SHTF considerations. It still has the stock tires on it- I am not doing any hardcore 4 wheeling right now. At the latest, when this set of tires is due for replacement I will get a much more aggressive off road tread tire.
