    If you liked the 4Runner why not just get another one?

    Luckily I live in a gated neighborhood with security patrolling so I don't have to worry about that. A neighbor parks his Maserati on the street lol.

    I'd swap my AT for an MT and probably hold out for a color a REALLY liked. Not that BRM is bad, it just wasn't my first choice.

    My wife can't drive MT and we have two kids with only one set of car seats. I figured it be easier to just get an AT so she could drive and I'd row gears in the Mustang when I had the itch, but I miss off-roading an MT.

    Yeah definitely a collectors item. The value has more than doubled since I bought it so its basically just a garage queen now.

    This is where I'm kind of leaning now since I have kids and need the extra space in the cab. I also want a manual since I've read about the hunting for gears in the automatic which I also experienced in the 4runner and wasn't a fan of it.

    I want something I can throw my bikes in the back without needing to worry about scratching up the interior and I don't want to have to mount a bike rack in the back for a quick ride.

    Great looking NSX. A Honda boy's dream. I have a S2000, my previous daily that is now my track toy.

    A manual is going to be harder to get. I waited 6 months for mine, no markup. That was during early/mid 2022 though.

    I really like the Limited with the Nightshade option.
    Not sure I wouldn't just get what I have now though, a base model OR DCSB V6/Auto 4X4.

    I had an S2000 at one point also. Loved that car. Almost drove the wheel off of it at the track!

    Off Road, Access Cab, MT. For some reason that combo is impossible to find these days.

    I have a 2021 Army Green TRD Offroad. I would not change a thing except maybe the price! :rofl:

    Main Mods I have done:
    • Sliders
    • Prinsu Roof Rack
    • ARE MX shell
    • Suspension Upgrde (Bilstein 6112/5160)
    • Icon RXT Leaf Springs Option 2
    The last 2 gave me 1.5" lift in front and 2" in rear.

    If you plan on any weight in back get a new leaf pack. The stock one is lame.

    The only mod I question is the rock sliders. Mainly due to the weight. 150 pounds for the pair. With that said, they double as steps which I need due to lift - the kids use them as well - and I have bashed them once on a rock, so I guess they paid for themselves. Thing is I don't do serious offroading. I got them for "peace of mind insurance" in case I do something stupid. And since I bashed them once offroading, they were needed.

    Yup I love driving it top down along with the sweet sounding high revving NA engine paired with one of the best feeling gearboxes ever made.
