Howdy!
I'm Kyle from Cypress, Texas, about 20 miles northwest of Houston. I purchased this 2003 SR5 AWD V8 4Runner from my younger brother in 2014 (65,000 miles). He had bought it a few months prior from the original owners, all stock. As of 9/16/2016, it has 112,xxx miles.
My goal is to Keep It Simple, utilizing budget friendly modifications and equipment to just get out and explore. I have two young boys, age four (4) and ten months (<1 year) who i want to introduce to exploring and camping. Starting out, we won't be exploring for periods longer than a Holiday weekend. So, check back for updates from our short trips!
