Word. The alpine stereo is the only option I regret not getting. The three options I did get (LED lights, body-colored fenders and steel bumpers) I absolutely do not regret.

Having said that, I can at least hear my speakers at most speeds unlike my YJ which had two rotting cardboard speakers that sounded like bees rattling around a tin can.

The LED's are amazing, I'm in a rental now and feel like I can't see anything at night. lol

LED Lighting Package? Get it, the lights are excellent
8.4" Uconnect system w Alpine system? MUST BUY, significantly better infotainment system with additional UConnect capabilities. The alpine system is incredible compared to stock
Blind Spot Monitor/Backup sensors- Honestly this one was a bit useless considering the backup Camera is already very good + the blind spot on our jeeps is not very bad at all.
Metal Bumpers: They look good but a bit pricey compared to aftermarket options.

The 2020 4Runner has all the latest tech. I guess they just added tech gremlins to the 4Runner. Is it less solid now?
It’s a solid vehicle, but the 2020 is less interesting to me than the older versions with all the tech.

It’s good for you that the old versions are so reliable. You will still have the option of buying great used vehicles for a long time.

The hard top is a pain in the ass to take off.
My husband bought my the TopLift Pros Jeep Hard Top Removal Tool for Christmas. Once you figure it out, it can be a 1 woman/man job.

I wished I knew before I bought my JLUR how obsessed I would become with it. I have two other vehicles, really good ones, but I never want to drive them. Also, I wished I knew that I would keep looking for new parts, improvements, mods. Each time I am in the middle of some important upgrade and I am struggling, I wished I was witting on the couch in AC eating chips instead....
