2001 Sport Edition 4x4.
I originally purchased the T4R as a second vehicle in 2013 to keep miles off my truck I owned at the time due to an hour long drive into work. After several months I realized this was the only thing I drove, sold my truck, and paid this off.
I just recently joined the forum as I have switched gears in how I will be using my vehicle. It is my DD and have just taken it to a few off road parks to play around for the day. I have always been interested in travel and seeing new places, but really have not been out of the State of Texas my entire life...lol.
The plan is to make more adventure trips around the States, preferably with the family if I can get my wife on board, and build up to longer and more technical routes.
I am pretty rehearsed in off-road driving, but very new to the overland community. I hope to learn much from everyone here while maybe trying to give a little back with this build thread.
As of Feb. 2018 / 218k miles
When I purchased in Feb. 2013 / 144k miles for $7200 out the door. 2 owner vehicle I got from a small mom and pop dealership in Austin. 1st owner purchased in SoCal and 2nd in Arizona I believe.
