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

[jspagna1]

I'm a 56 year old male with an 11 SR5. I have 2 modes:

And as for running boards, can't judge a book by its cover. I'm 6' tall short wife. If I had my way, they'd be gone!!

Summer Mode: Put the 18" All Seasons for the Summer for my treks to South Carolina/Florida.

Winter Mode: Put the 17" stockers with AT Tires and 1" front leveling kit and 1:25" Spidertrax spacers.

Engage Snow Bird Mode! :first:

Lol, kindof close for me. Modded Trail - Lots of HKs, some Sigs, spattering of Glocks, a 1911, and homebuilt ARs. You do have me on the cans, Gemtech and Griffin, though I haven't said its a nice as a Surefire. I do shoot a lot, and I have bought ZQI once.

Oh, and nice dillo

Love all the free stuff LaRue sends along with a purchase.
[MENTION=137080]Dog Runner[/MENTION] has me locked: DD with Larry Vickers sling lol. Couple HK's and Sigs and a Benelli M2 for the meat gun.

Beer is definitely for texmex and as a slush on a hot day. Otherwise, Buffalo Trace or Bulleit cut with coke.

As far as the gun thing goes... the only accurate part is that I don't shoot the one gun I have. In fact, it has never been in my house. It was a present from my dad and I'm happy to keep it in his gun safe at his house. I haven't put a round through it in 7 or 8 years. I have 6 bicycles, though! I'd rather be in the woods in Lycra than camo. Obviously the apple fell far from the tree.

I'll bite

2017 TRD Pro w/ 265 KO2s, C4 sliders ordered, nothing else planned until I hit the trails and figure out what I need
- Wouldn't wear an Affliction shirt if you paid me
- Custom built AR15, H&K handguns despite living in gun-unfriendly California
- Beer: don't care for IPAs, big fan of Mexican beers, white ales, porters, and Guinness/stouts.

Should we add food choices in this mix?

SR5: Taco Bell
Modded SR5: still Taco Bell
Trail: Chipotle
Modded Trail: whatever taco shack they find while overlanding through Mexico
Limited: family-friendly Mexican restaurant
TRD Pro: trendy new Mexican-Asian fusion restaurant in a sketchy part of San Francisco

 

[Quentin]

I F'ing love Chipotle.

Am I that transparent?

I almost feel ashamed at how accurate this post has become.

Me: 36, White TEP w/kdss, convenience mods (tires, mats, lights, sliders, etc.)
Glock, Sig. Almost exclusively drink IPA's, love Chipotle or a good taco truck.
Fly fishing / camping on the weekends. Love just about anything Patagonia.

I'm also curious where dogs come into the equation.
I have a German Shepherd.




I'm going to claim the following:
SR5 - Lab, most likely chocolate
Trail - German Shepherd
Limited - Golden Retriever
Pro - Pit Bull

Discuss...

I don't know if I fit there...

Modded Trail - Goldendoodle

Old picture from the first week I had the 4R, pre mods

 

[gamester5]

I would add a line:

Modded Limited: 45-65 year old male in mid-life crisis hanging onto his youth through his T4R, listening to 80's or early 90's rock, Mullet is optional.

Or woman, 26-35 wanting to out do the other soccer moms showing she has a wild streak and can take on those pot-hole gravel roads in style.

 

[Fantasyridge]

Definitely not a German shepherd but I fit to many of the stereotypes
First pic. Hope did it right

Bikes are a great expansion. Let's see, Road bike: Cervelo Super Prodigy with Campy Chorus; Mtnb: Rocky Mountain Blizzard w/ XTR... might be time to update the steed.

This thread is beginning to turn into a show and tell.

 

[KStim]

So true!!!!!

I'm wondering how other folks judge the other 4Runners you see before you get up close and see the driver. This is a tongue-in-cheek thread but I realized that I totally expect to see the following drivers when I approach these different rigs. Sorry in advance if anyone gets offended.

:yo:

Stock SR5 - Late 20s/ early 30s female; potential cross-fitter.

Limited - High maintenance tennis / soccer mom.

Stock Trail Edition - Late 30s to 50s male; probably has extended warranty and never is late on a service. Radio playing local news/talk.

SR5 w/ Tires, Lightbar - Late 20s male, probably has an Instagram account and "vapes."

Modified Trail Edition - Early 30s male, goes "overlanding" to the lake campground on the weekends, some kind of "expedition" sticker on a window.

TRD Pro - Affliction T-shirt; previously owned a modified WRX.

:fear:



Am I the only one with such horrible preconceived notions?

This is so absolutely correct. [MENTION=110387]jstim[/MENTION] does exactly this as hes yelling look at 3rd gen or SR5 or Limited... etc

And we have a German shepherd...but I don't feel like I fit. I have TWO 4runners.

Really enjoyed this thread... So happy to find I fit in somewhere on this site! Lol, I toned down the wild side significantly.

Before Kids: Rocked the passenger seat proudly.







After Kids: Drive proudly.

 

[Snow-Jet-MK5]

So where does the XP package fit into? I personally think it's more Doche (I can't spell) than the Pro and says this vehicle is not for off road use! if that's what I wanted I would have bought a 2017 jeep grand cherokee!

talking about the drivers

I tend to think all 4runner drivers I see on the road as hot, MILF types, and in a sense, in san diego that is pretty true, because you rarely see modded 4runners and most stock 4runners are driven by milfs.
