Think I have the cheap easy mods covered.

 

First mod complete.

 

Took wife's rig on first dirt. It's nice climbing hills in 4hi. Used to always needing 4lo in my 4runner. Love the power of this v6. Put her in low for fun in pretty steep incline. She cruised up and down no problem.

 

Installed HVAC knob upgrade. $11.50 shipped on eBay. Wife likes them but didn't notice I swapped them till I told her. And she was using them.

You made my day!!!!

 

Woooooooooooooooot!!!

I wanted my wife to get a 4Runner, but she ended up with a 2017 Rav4.

All in all, outstanding little car!

 

Those are great little suvs. Wife didn't want us to have two 4runners and DCSB was her dream truck for years. She has been saving for 3 years.

2 days after purchase she said "In 5 years you can have this when paid off and I'm getting a newer TRD Pro 4runner"

I'm like "your already planning your next vehicle? Do i ever get a new car?"

She says "No. Don't you know how marriage works?"

LMAO!

 

Haha!!! She sounds like a winner!

How long have yall been married?

 

13 years together, 10 married, 2 daughters (8, 11). This might be all wrong. Lol

She has dealt with a lot from me. 400+whp street car and my 4runner build. I used to be huge street racer. Lost license (smoking Ram srt-10 Viper truck) and she had to drive me around a year. So she gets what she wants now. Lol.

So that street car got parted out to help buy my house and I went to a 4runner. Safer But fun.

I also have my brothers old street car. Converting to drag car. Big turbo, auto swap, high stall, slicks, roll cage, 50 shot to spool turbo. She said i can build it atter she gets her lift and tires.

 

Nice!!!! Been married since March 25th of this year lol

Got some pics of the Runner?

 

Dang I'm surprised she still hangs around you

 

Yea! 4runner been jelly. She don't get the love since the new tacoma joined the family.

 

Shes a beauty!!!!

What front bumper is that??

Sooooo so seksi

 

Addicted Off-road out of Fort Collins. I was one of the 1st t have it. They make for newer models also. She made it into our forum 4runner monthly calendar. She is month of May.

 

Here is my old street car. Made some money in that beast.

 

Bad ass!!!! I will be looking at front bumpers eventually

But for now, Ive got so much on my plate that needs installed

STILL LOOKING FOR THAT MONEY TREE
