That happened when my buddy bought an FJ. Best part was that where I lived in the Bay Area before there wasn't as many 4th gens and it seems like it there were more FJs.
Now I live in Bend and I see tons and tons of 4Runners of all gens. But I haven't seem many others on 35's and as modified as mine.

Same here. In fact, I was pointing them out to my wife today and it was like, "There's one, and there's one, and there's another one, and there's one…"

That was me the first couple months until my wife threatened to kill me in my sleep if I didn't stop....

The wife, kids, and I actually make a game of it. Who can pick out the most 4runners.

So there are other vehicles besides a 4runner out there? Who would want anything else??

I wonder if the non-enthusiast owners notice the other 4Runners too. By that I mean, I am surprised by how many stock 3rd gens I see around, and just normal looking people driving them, so...those people!
But yes, after I started lusting after a 3rd gen, I couldn't stop noticing them, ESPECIALLY modded ones. Of course that made every drive in Colorado difficult to keep my eyes on the road. Same thing happened with my Golf R too, but they're a bit rarer around here.

I have no idea WTF happened, but I see more 3rd gens now than I did 10 years ago... Not even joking. I thought it works the other way around. Did somebody buy all the 3rd gen auto auction inventory in 2005 and just start selling them last year?
On the other hand, all variants of the body on frame Explorers that were in nearly every driveway ten years ago have all disappeared.

Even with my 2015 in the driveway, I still think the 3rd generation is the best looking 4Runner.

I couldn't agree more! I got mine in January and since then I swear I see about 10 a day! When I got mine the dealership had 4 in the lot. By the end of the week they were all sold! Guy who sold me my 4Runner said they can't keep them on the lot! I don't see many as done up as mine out here but there are some nice ones
