izzardking's top gear special: trying to kill a 4runner

[LittleCaesar]

One of the all time best car stories, never mind it being a 3rd gen 4runner, that I have ever read through. It seems like it happened just yesterday.

20 acres?! Awesome. That mean you moved east as well?

naw, just a gun and off road fun spot, still on the wet side, lol

has access to echo valley and a bunch of other fun places to ride dirt bikes and wheel, just got it a few months ago so haven't really had a chance to get out there much yet.

should plan a t4r meetup there at one point this summer!

Wow

Googled "3rd Gen 4Runner 12v rear full time" and 3 clicks later found this crazy story. What are the GD chances? Wow.

If you are in the Cascades, that is NOT a hickory tree. Additionally, the bark is NOT Hickory, nor is the limb configuration. Sorry to bust your bubble!

I'm sure Jason is devastated at that news. All this time and he's been telling a lie when telling the story. First post. Did you make an account just to point that out?
