Judging other T4Rs on the road. What do you do?

For me, its always the running boards/sliders.

  • Auto running boards likely means commuter vehicle only.
  • Running boards/n-fab steps means there might be some light off-roading, but mostly a pavement queen. (FWIW I fall into this category)
  • Sliders without any dings or scratches tells me the only thing leaving the pavement is their imagination.
  • Sliders (and running boards) beat to hell tells me they get down... or ran over a mailbox once. :lol:

Of course I dont pre-judge too hard. Its fun to actually meet the people to confirm or disprove. :cheers: For the most part 4Runner owners are good peeps.


^^^^ this is how I judge. ^^^^

Slidders and skids speak more about the vehicle and driver than anything else. IMHO.

44 comments and no one mentioned the Gobi ladder? I drive a slightly modified TE with more Colorado pinstrpping and twisted up and beat to hell skidplates then should be legal for two year old vehicle.
I also didn't see any one mention the 315's bro! What do you mean you don't have 35x13.5r17 tires, that weigh 100lbs each?

Only a TRD Bro would think this.... The rest of us didn't see the need to pay more and wait longer for the same vehicle.

I'd like a TRD Pro if the grill didn't look like those poor cleft lip children (or a whale shark), and if they came with KDSS and 7.5" wide wheels that had valve stem protectors and wheels that didn't have easily-scratched black paint.

:surfer:
 
Here in rural N. Nevada every T4R is an SR5 (there is one Limited in town) Most are white.

All are stock except for having LT tires - ATs or MTs. No light bars, lifts, blacked out chrome, etc - nothing -nada.

In order to see any of that stuff you have to drive into downtown Reno.
 
I should start keeping a photo documentation record of T4Rs in the wild.

Last night at the gym there was a Barcelona red SR5 that an early twenties girl left in.

This morning I saw a black Limited driven an authentic hot tennis mom who was yelling at her kids in the back seats.

I think you need a girl friend...
 
Well, when I see a TRDP do this I'll be impressed. I mean if Tacomas can do it.

Any 2wd Model-Soccer Mom that hates minivans

SR5-a fat bastard with mustache to hold donut crumbs for later. Probably pretends to mountain bike but has a hard time making it up the trail. Cries in bed at night.

Trail/TRD OR-A true off roader (search for scratches or dents) or a poser (often seen in mall parking lots)

TRD Pro-Someone who says "bro' a lot. Likely has a Grenade sticker on window.

Limited-Absolute badass. Think most interesting man in the world, but better...or maybe a soccer mom.

Stock Trail - People who know a bit and enjoy going off road, or attracted to anything with a hood scoop.
Modded Trail - People who go off road or Posers who think the grass at the mall is off road.


Guilty of this one... previous vehicle was a mazdaspeed3 w/ a hoodscoop
 
RE: WHAT you see when you see other T4R's on the road:

My first car was a Corvette. They have a "corvette waive" thing that all/most Vette owners do to each other in passing. So... I have been doing the 4runner "hey!" ever since I noticed there's something special about them (so for quite some time now).

By the way, I'm new here. I have a 1999 SR-5 (manual trans) that needs a new engine setup. I'm in Sacramento area. I'm trying to figure the forum out and just HOW to post etc (without violating rules and posting repetitive things etc).

Can anyone take the time to link me through it? I need an engine, trans and a transfer case for a 3rd Gen manual. Pref from a 2000 Tacoma with lower miles.

Thanks gang!
