Nice rides!! I really like the seqouia Rims on there.

And thanks for what you do. My Dad just retired from 30 years in Law Enforcement (Hawaii County/ Olympia Police) I know you guys deal with alot of crap. He was pretty smart though.... He convinced me to test for Fire instead!! Its been 9 years already, time flies....

God I love z's. Asheville HP? I went to Western, back near Raleigh now, but my gf's cousin is HP in Montgomery county, he's got some crazy stories. Again, you have quite the driveway!

Best job in the world! Made those 29 weeks in Raleigh all worthwhile!!

I'll post pics of the 85 Runner as soon as it comes out of paint. Hopefully sometime in January. That will complete the driveway!

Skid- Your Runner looks great! That's what ours looked like in the beginning.

We dropped the running boards for the sliders, got the delete strips for the luggage rack and changed wheels and tail lights. But I'm still jealous of your SUPERCHARGER!!!

nice truck and Z.

100k and it looks incredible and it helps you live in the south since here in Colorado winter beats our Runners up a bit and I have a few off road scrapes here and there. I'm at 154k on my '99 and mechanically it is very sound and runs like new.

I'd personally like a few more shots of the Z.

Yeah living in this climate does help, I should also add it sits outside 24/7- never garaged. So I'm pleased with how it's aged.

I'll get more pics of the Z up tomorrow, but let me tell you that thing is a BLAST to drive!!!

Thanks! When I was looking at trucks, I really liked the looks of the 4runner but I always thought it was underpowered. Then the toyota sales guy asked me if I had driven the supercharged 4Runner. I couldn't believe my ears. Then he shows me my Black Beauty. One test drive and I was sold.
I hear ya on the steps. I had them off for a couple of years, but I got tired of dirtying my pants and hearing passengers complain about climbing in the truck, so I put them back on. I actually don't mind the looks. If I had some spare cash, I would install sliders.
Back to the title of the thread, I am amazed at how new the truck feels still even with almost 130K on the odometer.
