    She's a bit of a dog on hills, but I can still putt along pretty good. Maybe I'll do a re-gear in the future or possible a small turbo kit. Thanks for looking!

    Last week when I was Mule Expedition getting the tent worked on, I picked up a Front Runner fold down table, was able to get it installed this morning. The quality is great, looks like I may need to oil down the cutting board a bit. It's not treated yet.

    To be honest, I have no idea. If I had to guess, I would say about 13 or 14 MPG, better than my TRD Pro, that was about 12. It's 425km per tank or 260 miles.

    Yeah, I sat in it after the install and thought the same thing, plus the roof is so high, you still have plenty of head room.

    Buy new or buy used.

    I bought a TRD Pro 4 Runner brand new, and a year later sold it. There were a few reasons for this decision. 1. Any upgrade parts are real expensive... 2. I felt terrible taking it on trails, always worried about scratches etc... In the end I bought a real nice used rig, did a nice build and...
