Kinda bummed out I never see my 4Runner on here. :(

I think it's probably pretty rare for a forum member to be seen by another forum member, unless you hang out at some of the 4-wheeling hot spots. There are only about 100k members, spread out over the entire country -- and some are outside the US. And probably only a fraction of the members are active on the forums.

And only a handful of those are on the 'spotted' threads. That's why I quit posting descriptions of cool trucks I see and I only now post photos of either modded rigs of all generations or neat stock 1st gen rigs. At least when the owner doesn't see the picture other people on the thread can appreciate the work!
 
Not exactly "spotted" per se, but I will certainly edit this post with a photo if one becomes available. From the local media source:

What a Christmas eve...had a wonderful day snowboarding Mt. Bachelor. Truck was great and we had a wonderful day.
Went to Christmas mass and then my girlfriend had to drive back down to Portland because she has to work tomorrow (she is a nurse) and so I put her in the 4runner thinking that she will be safe and sound.

Two hours later I get a call and she can't go over 10 mph uphill. She was going along at 65 and all of a sudden it dropped to 10 and all lights went on.

She had stopped for gas right before leaving town and had checked the gas cap but no change.

I'm actually wondering if the attendant put diesel in...

To me it sounds like a fuel problem but no idea.

Very frustrating night and a helpless feeling.
