Connor aka 4Running Daily's Build Thread

Personal info: I'm 18. I'm originally from Escondido, CA, but I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering at ASU in Tempe,AZ. 4Running Daily is my username because it is my Daily Driver currently.

My Runner:
History: Dad leased it new, and then bought it with the intentions on me driving it to high school (successful). He took it up Black Bear Pass in Colorado, all stock. It was stolen out of my garage and was found about 16 hours later full of Candy and a printer that wasn't mine.

I've been there many times. It's sad. The whole place used to very nice when I was like 10...I used to ride my dirtbike there with my brother and Dad. Now there is nothing but grafitti, trash, old burned cars and shotgun shells. It's really sad. Reminds me of the thread on here with the national monuments being destroyed by "art"
