New, an introduction

[Kirium]

Hello, My name is Brian and I live in Edmond, OK , a suburb on the north side of Oklahoma City.

I am a previous owner of 5 4Runners (87, 92, 02, 10 and 18) and two Land Cruisers 08 and 97. Since the Grenadier was introduced I've been very interested. Currently my 2018 4Runner has 220k miles and it's time to look. Locally we do not have a Grenadier dealer, but I can easily go down to Dallas or Houston or Colorado Springs. We lived in Dallas for 20 years and I bought many cars from Sewell which is the Ineos dealer.

Looking forward to learning more. There are probably 2 or 3 Grenadiers here in Oklahoma City, one of them is Sela Green with a white roof and I spoke to the owner at length and drove it. Loved it.

Anyway, I do look forward to learning and seeing more information as I suspect I'll be buying one within the next 10 months or so.

Admitting you have a Toyota problem is the first step to recovery. Welcome, Brian.

Absolutely a Toyota issue.

Mowed lawns and hauled hay and picked up rocks, even worked in a grain barn prior to turning 16 so I could buy that 87 4Runner. I wish I had kept it
