    Bought for my 27 birthday in 2019 from my work with 51k miles on the clock for $18k (employee cost)

    Current mileage 91k mostly highway miles

    Toyota is the greatest and most reliable brand on the planet, it’s hard to argue against it.

    Pics are from oldest to newest!

    replaced front and rear shocks and added 2 inch spacers upfront to level out the vehicle. went with the OEM shocks for one soul purpose, that the original ones lasted 100,000 miles before the passenger front one finally blew out after almost always off road conditions

    yes but almost instantly changed my mind. it’s too reliable and i don’t think a 3rd gen would satisfy me. it’s good to dream though lol
