well... that time has come in my life for another career
Friends, it has taken me 21 very quick years for me to finally hang up my Marine Corps cover for another career. As of right now, my plan is to work for GoodYear in Gulfport, MS. If any of you find yourself in the Biloxi, Gulfport area, look me up.

Re: well... that time has come in my life for another career
Congratulations Red Man ! Thanks for your service. I LOVE my new career, lol, I do what I want, when I want. Working on 3 yrs retired now. I have not got a job yet. 
Traded to 2019 ZR2, Red.
4Runner was a GREAT vehicle but could not even tow our 6x10 enclosed utility trailer comfortably, even when it was empty-ish.
It was time. Truck was still leaking BADLY every time it rained or snowed & melted. It was leaking at every single gasket (rear window, front window, all 4 doors). You could sit inside & watch it run down the inside of windshield, rear window & drip off the upper side door beams. It was molding on the inside & starting to stink. Needed new steering gearbox, shocks, new upgraded T-style steering, tires, brake lines, d/s manifold bolts that are barely recognizable due to rust-removed & replaced. Everyone around here would not even touch em once they looked at them.
So, say what you will. PW turned into a money pit. Was no longer a joy to drive. Hoping that this downsized 4x4 with lockers will fill the bill & have minimal problems, but..... As long as manufacturers keep making engineers design things that fail soon after warranty is up, we are going nowhere fast. Regardless of what you buy.
