Scott and his wife Molly are currently 21 hours ahead of us celebrating Christmas in Australia. The day they left on their trip, Molly arranged (behind Scott's back) to have his 4Runner delivered to a local paintshop to have the faded and peeling roof and hood resprayed. (Talk about an amazing wife!) I picked the truck up last night and emailed pictures of the completed 4Runner to Molly. She placed the photos in his stocking, which he found moments ago. According to Molly, Scott was "very surprised and overwhelmed."

Scott's 4Runner looks really good, it's nice to see some new paint brought to an old friend. :)

Excuse the poor pictures, they were taken the night I picked it up at the paintshop. You'll have to bug Scott for nice quality dSLR pics with the 4Runner in its natural environment. :thumbup:

Hot Damn Scott! Merry Christmas to you.

I saw it in person and it looks great. Hope you guys had a great trip and welcome back (when you get back). We'll have to all go out and wheel (somewhere where you won't get scratched).

My wife is totally awesome!!! We got home from Oz and NZ yesterday afternoon, and it looks incredible. I can't thank the army of people it took to put all this together enough. Ken, you rock!

Unfortunately, her car is still in the shop, so she gets the first drive with the new clothes today; she's headed up to the snow for the day. :D
