When I picked up my Runner it had 3 miles on it so I didn't have to do anything to it service-wise until I hit 3,000 miles. That took about 4 or 5 months, then it was just an oil change.
First purchase - Husky liners
We've been together for 5 happy years and 46,000 miles!

First thing I did was put my brothers old system in. It was free, except installation. Then put the K40 on it, I think the K40 antenna looks so good on a 4runner. Now waiting for roof rack.

Let's see....
First service: Changing the oil and filter and swapping AFM's because the guy that had the truck before me was stupid and didn't know that that was the reason the truck bucked like a bull going down the road....so i got a great deal.
First Mod: Superlift 4-5" lift with 33" Yokohamas after buying the truck.
First Toy: Well, I don't really have any toys on there yet, but I'm collecting stuff for a 3.4 swap if that counts.???(that means I've got a good 3.0 for sale)
