What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Our 4R Has A What??

Yesterday we took a trip to a local state park... ended up hiking just shy of three miles with our pups. On the way, Ollie discovered the moonroof... and then proceeded to take the best seat in the house. He stood with his front feet on the center console the whole way to the park.

Are you in Western KY?

The snow was just starting to fall as I left for work this morning, all I got were 40mph winds from the North :(

I am in Northern KY, but drive southwest along the Ohio river to work everyday. I already had about 3" when I got up at 04:30. We've probably had an additional 3" or so fall since then. Had a couple uncomfortable moments involving an idiot in a pickup truck assuming 4 wheel drive was invincible, and some crosswinds blowing snow off of trees creating a brief white out. The 4runner performed beautifully minus the awful stock tires (which have now jumped immediately to the top of my to-mod list even though they have hardly any wear).
 
Drove into the City (Manhattan) today instead of messing around with Public Transportation because of the weather. Made for some decent views on the top level of the parking garage:

Drove out to MetalTech today and picked up my MT sliders. Saw their 5th Gen, FJ, and tundra. Pics of the sliders when I install them and new to me wet okole seat covers in a couple days.
 
a friend of mine in my neighborhood was with you guys on that run in the landcruiser, i had to work unfortunately but i'm in on the run that the 757 group is planning in march/april


Which guy was it? My truck was in the shop but I was still there with my buddy Alex (and collaborator with me on DirtRoadTrip.com) and my brother in his black Tacoma.

It was the beige landcruiser fairly stock with tires and oem f&r lockers.. Jimmy is his name

You don't need to pop up your wipers. You have a wiper defroster for exactly that reason.
 
I've never had a vehicle that shrugs off snow like this 4Runner! Driving in 10+" of powder over dirt roads is simply non-eventful.

After I turned off all the electronic nannies I did powerslides and donuts in an abandoned parking lot for about an hour. I felt like a little kid!
