    as if I needed another hobby -- though this supports an existing hobby, so it's okay?

    I went with extra of the 4 inch and 2 inch -- probably too many extra, but don't wanna risk it. Use and chuck...

    All I had was 2 of the 4 inch rollers, the deteriorate and left pieces everywhere. Not a big deal but I would have done different if I had known

    I always wanted to get a tank with crawfish. Or as petco likes to call them. Lobsters. I think a tetra tank full of shrimp and multiple tetra schools plus a few lobsters would look cool.

    but im horrible at tank keeping, i can never keep the water consistent and algae levels low

    4 run, 2 don't
    Crawfish if I remember, will kill everything else living in a tank with them.

    You should get a tank though! Theo loves running down the hall, only to stop every time and stare at the fish.

    Keep algae down by minimizing your lighting to 7-8 hours a day max. Low dim setting helps too.

    But if you want to keep the lights on nice and bright and not worry about leaving them on too long by accident, plants. You'll want a lot of plants and co2 running.

    I didn't want to ruin my poor truck with a rust belt winter. The frame would last two weeks lol

    Funny story, my BMW was hanging off the back of a car carrier along with my Sequoia while it was getting transported from California to Pennsylvania. I just got a bill in the mail from the State of Oklahoma for fare evasion. Their automated readers thought I was driving on the Oklahoma Turnpike and sent me a bill for it.

    It was on the very back of the carrier and it read my plate.

    4Runner update. Not sure how I feel about it rn but I didn't pay much for it.
    • Frame is not well and has holes throughout.
    • Sunroof, rear window, all other windows, power/heated seats, AC/heat, stereo, and basically any other feature it has work fine.
    • It had Toyota pink coolant in the overflow reservoir and radiator. It has service records up until 100K ago.
    • It has that X-REAS suspension system I assume from the lines connected to the shocks. The suspension is shot and steering rack boots are gone.
    • 340K but the engine idles and runs nice. Transmission shifts fine around the neighborhood.
    • The tan spray paint is terrible.
    • Rust holes in the tailgate and rocker panels.
    • Shitty aftermarket alarm remote is ruined. I briefly got it to function.
    • Interior is rough and smells like axe body spray. No drugs have been found so far.

    Still sounding like a win for $800 (so far).

    What year is it?

    Some people will pay nearly as much as you did just for the intake manifold and throttle body setup if it's the VVTI variant
