What did you drive before your 4Runner

had fun in my buddies ten years ago in the sand color. it was pretty stock but damn did we claim some trails. he broke threw a frozen over section of trail 3' and we were stuck 7 miles in the woods. had to start fire next to vehicle while breaking the ice for staying warm. sadly, did you see the new chevy blazer or trailblazer? hideous
Those little Blazers surprise a lot of people. With the front sway bar disco’d they articulate pretty well. Factory locker is far from indestructible but I never had issues with mine.

Agreed on the new Blazer, what an abomination.
 
‘92 Jeep ZJ Orvis edition. The tech in it was pretty awesome for an old girl.
Ex wife had an ‘06 liberty KJ, couldn’t stand it. “Trail Rated” my ass.

Have also had an ‘01 Jeep XJ. For the guy saying money pit, must’ve been a lemon. Those things were damn near bulletproof. To this day, wish o never sold. Another vehicle I dearly miss was my ‘05 Saab 9-2X Aero. Also known as the Saabaru. It was a dressed up WRX with Some STi upgrades

First car was a 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX in Sonic Yellow. Loved it, but it was a money pit. Engine finally gave out at 175K miles. Decided to sell it without an engine to a guy who wanted to do a full STI drivetrain swap in it.

After that came a souless and bone stock 2009 Honda Civic EX Sedan. Reliable and cheap so can't really complain that much.

Sold that and bought my 4Runner.
 
2001 Lexus Is300 in Graphite gray pearl.
Mods were: TRD rep front lip and side skirt, aftermarket black housing headlight, Led interior, BC Racing BR coilovers and Enkei RPF1 17x9 +22 squared setup on 225/45/17 tires. All four corner were rolled to clear the tires.

My first car back in 1985 or so...

Amazing what $1500 could get you in the 80's, lol.

My first car was a 71 Toyota Corona Deluxe. That was a fun one. After that:
1963 Ford Fairlane 500
2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue
2003 Jeep Liberty (lifted, lockers, skids and rock rails) used the heck out of it.
2017 Ford Escape (leased)
2008 4Runner (missed the Jeep but wanted something more reliable)

1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L 4cyl....god awful as is...then I added 33s

1987 Jeep Wrangler 5.7L 8cyl...previous owner had built this one up pretty well minus the axles. they were stock and the dana 35 in the rear blew almost immediately. I shearing the pinion in half and then the carrier exploded inside the housing. I swapped for a Ford 8.8 in myself after that.

2001 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3 8cyl...absolute gem. No rust and 1 owner for 190k. I took it to 240k and sold it for what I had in it. Incredible truck. Just wanted a 4Runner really bad.

I too have had a ton of cars, too many to post.

Previously was a 2015 F150 Limited and 2014 GMC Sierra SLT. Both were great but was looking to save money. Wife currently drive a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited which has been amazing to us.

Someone stole the wheels off of it while I was out of town on work so it got written off by the insurance company. It worked out because I was trying to sell it and got what I wanted for it. It was nice though I liked it but I like the 4runner better!

It was called Maluch
Is that a Polish Fiat or what am I looking at here lol. Looks fun though. I assume rear engined?
 
Here's some:
'63 Ford Galaxy

Several non-descript company cars
'95 Ford Explorer V8/5.0 LTD ( was nice!!)

'05 Toyota Tundra 4.7 V8 2wd

'03 Toyota 4Runner V8 LTD current DD( bought in 12/12, traded Suburban)
 
I had a 2014 Mazda 3 which i loved but the roads in NY are terrible (getting flats every week) and I always wanted a 4R.

Before that in order.

Acura TL
Ford Expedition
Dodge Caravan
Buick Century 4dr
Buick Century Wagon
 
Took some time to remember all these.

73 Buick Riviera
84 Buick Skylark
90 Chevy Silverado
91 Pontiac Transport
87 Caddy Fleetwood
98 Chevy Silverado
00 Chevy Venture
05 Toyota Corolla
07 Toyota Sienna (Wife's)
07 Toyota Land Cruiser
05 Dodge Ram 3500
07 Toyota Avalon (Wife's)

Too many to list, but my 2005 Wrangler Rubicon is the most recent before the 4Runner. With 3" of lift and 35s with lockers the 4Runner just doesn't compare offroad (it's still stock). But on road is a whole different story, which is why the Jeep is for sale.
