[HiVel-JR]

Congrats!!! I always wanted to go to Russia while I was living in Germany, but I ran out of time. Looks like you guys had fun.
I take it you sent those pictures "From Russia With Love" (lol)

for all you James Bond fans...
My next mod is going to be an ejection seat... lol...

Looks like Siberia?

St. Petersburg. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?threadid=23542

wow! thanks guys! thanks for the congrats! I would never even imagine that this could happen :

for those who were curious:
it's not Siberia it's European part of Russia - for example, Helsinki (the capital of Finland) is only 380 km away and the Russian-Finish border is 200 km away from St-Petersburg, so we're pretty close to Northen Europe.

Our T4R is 4wd and when we were muddin' it was 4wd mode on.

HI !!! first off all my congratulations !!!
Большинство действительно думает, что страны СНГ это одна больная СИБИРЬ, надо бы им в Москву съездить или в Питер! Я как-то писал топик по поводу отличий между 4раннером и Прадо но мне не кто не ответил. У нас машина редкая хотелось бы услышать мнение от русскоговорящего человека. Есть какие-то минусы?

С уважением.

Here's the babelfish translation

"Majority actually thinks that the country OF THE CIS this one sick SIBERIA, it is necessary by it into Moscow to take a trip or in Pieter! I somehow wrote topik apropos of the differences between yarannerom and Prado but me not who did not answer. machine rare it would be desirable to hear opinion from the russkogovoryashchego person. There are some minuses? With the respect."

wow the pictures are amazing. I've been through some mud before on my gx but nothing that serious. How did you do in it? obviously you did pretty well.

Gee, that really clears it up!!

Here's the correct translation:

"Most people think that CIS countries are like one huge Siberia (I guess he means the climate), they should go to Moscow or St.Petersurg! I've posted a topic sometime ago about differencies between T4R and Prado, but there were no answers. It's a pretty rare car (4Runner), so I wanted to know the opinion of the Russian-speaking person. Are there any negative points?" (of using the truck)

and here's the answer: nope, I haven't noticed anything negative or annoying. Maybe only the engine noise at high rpm... but maybe I just shouldn't press on the gas this hard :driving:

Thanks for the translation, Gina.

He's probably right that most of us don't know the differences in the various parts of Russia and the CIS countries.
