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

All too familiar

All too familiar a story for me. I had a similar... though not quite as damaging experience some years back. I have since reluctantly moved on from that truck. The photo's tell the story.

haha that's sweet, it's cool to see the end result, mine is still sitting with the back cut off as the guy who bought it is kind of flaky , seems like it won;t ever be back in it's former glory!

Gotta admit... I was waiting to see how long this would take to come up on Jalopnik.

This comment though:

"The Toyota 4runner does not actually burn fuel. It accepts it as a sacrifice.

The large hadron collier is actually an experiment to find out what the 4runner is made of.

Toyota made a promotional film describing the construction of the first 4Runner. It is called "NEON GENESIS EVANGELLION"

The reason Toyota used a tundra instead of a 4Runner to tow the shuttle was that the 4runner would've ripped the landing gear off.

The 4Runner does not actually drive. It rotates the Earth to your desired position."
 
Every time a Noob comes to the site and asked about reliability and longevity I'm just going to copy and paste this story and the video.

Now my only question is this. Did you make a nice chair or something cool out of the treet you took home and tell me you kept the 4Runner as a trophy :thumb:

Looks like photobucket didn't like how much bandwidth you were using. I still had the thread open from the other day when I saw the photos so I uploaded them to imgur for others to see.

I was thinking the same thing lol

That's what happened. It recently sold locally on craigslist for under $2000, if I remember correctly.
 
Wow!

I just came across this thread and I'm shocked and blown away! Glad things turned out ok. This is one of the most incredible and tragic stories...:jaw:
 
Up for sale again!

99 toyota 4runner 4x4 limited turned into flatbed

I wish people who sold these things would put up accurate pictures, instead of what it "used" to look like. If its minus the bed, seats, Elocker, wheels/tires, etc then post updated pictures that reflect that.

Not worth $1800 with a cut off back, cobbled together front, wrong axle ratios, no locker, cheap wheels/bald tires, and no seats.

Sheesh this poor truck.
 
3 year anniversary bump. ;)


doing wheel bearings, led interior light upgrade, finally installing my A-arms and a few other things as a celebration, lol...

at least it's easy to keep track of how long i've had the new truck, i get a few emails this time of year reminding me what happened, lol
