    New Tires, Stereo & Speakers,Uni-Strut Tie Down Continue watching THIS SPACE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
    Hello all, name is Patrick Sullivan, but my friends call me Road! I have had a 4Runner, and still do, since 1993. There also have been a number of other cars, a Prius for 9 years, '08 to '16, a Nissan Leaf for a couple of years, and my current Kia Niro, love that car.
    During this time my 4Runner was always the goto hauling vehicle. But then the things I was picking up just got bigger and I needed a truck. I was open to anything, but I liked Toyota. So after 3 months of looking, I found a 2003 AC that was rebuilt, and runs great. Plus it's a California truck, so WHAT RUST! Under 10K, let the fun begin. New stereo, LED lights, new tires rims, stock, I hate the over sized wheels/tires on the tundra, so I bought some OEM rims, and my new stock sized tires have arrived at Costco today. Tomorrow they get installed. No more rubbing during turns, wallowing all over the freeway, things are looking up!
    After 42 years at the American Broadcasting Company in Hollywood CA, I have retired. I was part of the engineering team, and this led to me having a blast at work. More sports, news, & studio events to last a lifetime. Before that, I was in College for 4.5 yrs, then a 6 month gig in Dubuque IA, and after that a 3 year run at a station in Madison WI. Moved to CA in '79, never looked back.

    I will be adding numerous posts about the stereo install, and other upgrades to the truck. Looking forward to interacting with you all, give me some time, I'm just getting started!

    73 all, de Road KK6PD
