Looks great Bruce! Like the wheels, the majority of the ones I see running around my town have the base wheels. Not a fan of them… Welcome back!

I like the old one. My experience with my Gen 5 4Runner was short lived. I should have never sold my Gen 4. How has your experience with the 5th Gen been?

Great suv for off-roading and camping. Daily driving is decent for BOF but glad it is not my only vehicle. Gets bad gas mileage and pretty gutless. No issues with 50k plus miles so happy with it as the family mobile.

Basically If you never use the capabilities in the dirt I would not recommend it but if you do I would.

70+ degrees and I finished my household chores prior to dark so I took the 997 for a drive out by the lake.

Edit: If I have not already mentioned it, I love this thing!

That's awesome. Great pic and great car. Today might have been the last nice day of the year here in south East PA. I was able to put to the top down and really enjoy one last drive with 70F temps before I put it in storage next week.
