Been wanting a new DD for a while, preferably a 4WD with AC.
Driving a hammered e30 daily for 4 1/2 years in Hawaii with no AC and EVERYTHING converted to black gets a bit old after a while. Especially if you want to go somewhere cool (i.e. the beach, the mountains, volcano, rain valleys, basic Hawaii stuff) you need more than ~2.5" of ground clearance. Half the time I can't even pull onto the shoulder, because there are rarely paved shoulders here, just ramble zones.
So yup, picked up a 2003 Toyota 4runner. 4.0 V6 4WD Sport edition. 3-4" of lift coming up soon, then maybe a small body lift and tires.
Only got a couple pics, I've only owned it for 2 days and just got to test it's beach capabilites this morning. Lots of camping trips coming up.
Pretty stoked to have my own newer vehicle. No need to ask everyone to borrow their truck/suv. Also, this is my 3rd car, before the e30 was my 87 nissan sentra (doots). Pretty nice to get out of the 80's, shiny cars rock.
On a side note, the e30 has graduated to project car status and I'm thinking of renting a storage place and parking my e30 there and just start modding. I kind of have like 3-4 grand in parts sitting on all my shelves, I've just been ordering stuff for no reason (damn money burning holes in them pockets) for quite a while and I'm too lazy to install them, so I've just been kinda stacking stuff everywhere, much to my parents dismay.
