Without further ado, I present you, the most single hand item I have ever bought in my entire life with the exception of my house I use to have many years ago.
Impressions?
Quit starring at me!
People were speeding up behind me on the way home to check out my big fat rear, then coming up beside me to see it.
And this was just the ride home from the dealer about 5 miles away.
Driving, power!
And when the 5 speed auto shifts, it sounds like you are driving a manual almost and going through the gears.
I may not even put a Magnaflow muffler on it, the stock one sounds great.
But then again, I loved the 14" (body) Magnaflow I had on my '91 4Runner.
The rig pulled very well, gobs of power, and I hardly touched the go pedal.
Goodbye dear old 4Runner, its been a blast, but two things are sure in life, death and taxes, and it was time to let you go.
You were good to me for many years.
Brakes
Very touchy, huge disc rotors, lots of stopping power.
Will take a light foot to get use to it, I am use to putting down a lot more pressure with the old rig.
Put the All Weather floormats in, and the rear carpeted cargo mat, and cut the tether to the stock gas cap and replaced it with the Stant one.
This is about all I will do to it tonight, this heat wave continues, and I am drained.
Getting the Clifford Responder put in tomorrow.

Alarm has pager built into the remote, and will beep you or vibrate.
LCD screen on remote shows which zone has been attacked too.
The other mods
Slee Hi-Lift mount
Bentup sliderz
Bandi CB antenna mount will be put on this coming weekend when I get free time.
Driving it home was a blast, but also a little paranoid.
First time I have ever driven one of these.
Blind spot?
There is no blind spot.
I could see out the rear window, the sides, and with the nice mirrors on the sides just fine and dandy.
I think the infamous blind spot is an urban legend.
Will be also looking into new tires before to long.
The stock rubbers gotta go.
Oh, did I mention I like the rig
Lotta fun, can not wait to let the mods fly forth and lighten my wallet once again like it did when I was moddin' the 4Runner.
I am sure I will think of something else to add later, but I am running on zero sleep here from the dang heat from yesternight.
Dang, it is still hot.
Turn off the frickin' oven please.
I'll be awaiting the build-up picts & comments.
