Apohl17's Iceberg Build Thread

The Wyoming trip to the Wind Rivers was nuts. Taught a bunch of individuals on the reservation how to flyfish, almost stepped on a rattler, walked in a few sets of bear tracks, and lastly, caught some awesome fish on the fly. I know it's not directly T4R related, but some of the pictures are too cool not to share.

Ah, my neck of the woods... well, spiritually. I was born and raised in Lander.

What're your plans now that the 3rd is sold?

Lander was wild. A very awesome place next to the one of the most insane batches of land Wyoming has to offer. Right on!

Here are my plans:
Apohl17's AventuRunner Build Thread - V8 4th Gen
We'll see well the 4th treats me :rockon:
Otherwise, it's back to the 3rd I go! haha

Bump for posterity's sake. I know [MENTION=423705]Ponce11[/MENTION] is treating this ol' girl well, supposedly it got a real paint makeover (layer, polish, & wax) last fall...
 
Now that it's been a few months, how's shift? Anything you miss about the 3rd Gen or love about 4th Gen that's surprised you?

To be honest, I enjoy the 4th way more than I ever imagined. I have yet to take it on a major adventure yet so my memory bank still resonates with all of the cool places I went in the 3rd, but it really is better in every way, besides the classic look.

Engine - no comparison. (V8 is the way to go)

Space- significantly more room in the driver's quarters and space for storage in the 4th.

MPG - So far 3-4 mpg better than the 3rd over the winter months

Ease to mod/work on - equivalent to the 3rd except for the plastic headlight lens :lmao:

All in all, they are both 4runners - you can't go wrong. I still love the 3rd gens and I'm sure i'll get into another one in the future - but the 4th is treating me quite well so far!

That's good to hear. Surprising to learn that the mileage is actually better, but I guess the tech improved at lot with the newer engine. I might have to get one of the later year V8's eventually. Can't say I'm a big fan of the knob style 4WD selector, but I guess you get used to it.
