Acknowledging other 4runners

[Thai]

I looked at his GoodYear MT/Rs and it was 245/75R16, is that the stock size they come with?

yup, that's the stock tire and size. 245/75/16...with Load Range E. It's a heavy duty tire, commonly seen in dualies (ya know those HD trucks with twin tires on each side in the rear).

Today, I look through my mirror and I see an 04 Sport behind me. I give a friendly wave out of the sunroof and I get wave back. I then give it a closer look and it was my friend in his 4Runner. That was so cool! :jester:

Harley riders and Corvettes are big on this..... I think it's time we start

 

[Jayded]

I always thought about doing this, especially after seeing how my friend acknowledges other NSXs on the road. The trouble is, all I see down here in San Diego are family man/woman types who would think I'm just some clown. :jester:

The problem is that when you buy a Corvette, Harley, Jeep Wrangler and those types of vehicles they are bought by enthusiest and have a whole auror about them. The reasons to buy and the buyer demographics of 4Runners are completely different from those type's of vehicles.

I've had Jeeps and it works but I don't think anyone will know what the heck I'm doing waving at them just cause I'm in a 4Runner

just cause I'm in a 4Runner

:jaw drop:

Please dont think this is a flame, however, isnt the fact that this forum(and many others like it) are so popular is because people are "enthusiasts". I mean, how many ahh I dont know, ford tempo forums or nissan ahh.... trucks forums are there?

I am more of an enthusiast with my 4runner than most HEEP owners I know.

Heck, I think I probably spend more money on my 4runner than on my kids

any way i dont look at my truck as just a 4runner

I like to think of myself as a 4runner fanatic. If I see a 4runner stalled on the road I am all about stopping to lend a hand. This morning I passed by a Ford Mustang but just drove by. Its a 4runner Thing, you just wont understand.

a ford mustang broken down?

Basically what I was saying is that the percentage of non-enthusiests buying those vehicles is low. Where as with the 4Runner the percentage would be middling at best. I'm an enthusiest, most aren't.

Can we install 285/75R16 with 1" of lift and not rub? or will I need more lift?

 

[Krashmytoy]

dont know if it will help but ive got 265/75/R16 with no lift and i have plenty of clearance..... even with a ton of butt sag

that means its built like a rock, and we know how good rocks roll on a road.

I agree that we should be friendlier and wave to all Hooked up 4runner folks out there.

If they wave back then cool, if not then no biggie.

I know that I have a semi hooked up Integra, and fellow Hooked up Teggy drivers will usually give eachother a lil rev of the engine or a simple hand wave.

Although the rev of the engine can usually lead to some fast driving....

Just like the comercials said; "Ford builds one tough truck".

I just have never met the lucky SOB who got it...........

Fine...then I take it back.

His name is Bill Ford, Jr.

ooo... i think you jumped the shark!!!

 

[Jayded]

Well, now that I've ruined it, would you kindly edit your post, too, so that I don't ruin it for everyone else....

I wave but they don't wave back, so I honk and they give me the finger. WTF? OK, so I speed up and when they hear my Pimp Wagon's engine roar they're like hmmmm.... And when I finally pass em. They say, "WOW! , That Dude Got Balls!"
