What funny/weird/cool things have people (friends/strangers outside of T4R.org) said about your 4Runner?

i.e. compliments or making fun of it or mistaking it for a J**p. :)

it's always the stupid ones that call it a Jeep. Lol silly fools who think Jeeps are the only vehicles that have ever touched dirt
 
When FJ cruisers think your lifted 4Runner with street tires can't climb a sand hill, then you end up climbing it successfully and they have to get winched up it!
 
I was mounting the lights on my ARB in the driveway and my neighbor was walking by and says "got a problem with the Jeep? anything I can do to help?". I just gave him the face palm.
 
Stopped at a liquor store and when I came back out a guy was starring at the 4runner. I gave him a look like, can I help you? He goes "man cool truck, it looks like a monster truck!" Kinda weird having a grown man tell you your vehicle looks like a monster truck, but I guess it's a cool compliment.
 
Yeah, I've never heard of anyone mistaking a 4runner for a Jeep. I've gotten compliments on my paint from many people, but i never really wash it.
 
When I got my tires from a guy who had a [/B]locked lifted and armored 4x4 LC,[/B] he said " them tires gonna fit on the soccer mom truck"

And on the way home, I noticed 4 women driving runners :,(
 
Yesterday had a guy call my truck a Jimmy...lol! He kept complimenting my truck, he thought my paint was custom because of the metallic flakes in the paint lol! I get a lot idiots trying to race me but I guess the S/C'd and TRD emblems don't help.
 
My neighbor, who also has a 5th gen, swears that my truck is a bigger vehicle than her's (not just taller - it is lifted). After some discussion as to height and how it affects perception, she eventually sat in the passenger seat (I was sure she would see that the cabin was the same size as her's) and she said "see I told you so this has WAY more space!" She then asked "are you sure this isn't a Sequoia?"

Yes my MILFy neighbor - I'm sure it isn't a Sequoia, but please come by to test your suspicions any time you like.

F@ck it, smoke em.
 
I've had a lot of people give me the "no f-ing way" look when I tell them how many miles are on them. Usually followed by a "you must take really good care of that.". Yes, yes I do. Thank you.

My hot neighbor down the street asked me if she could drive Tyrone when I had that one. Sure. She told me she use to have one, that was also a 5 speed and misses it. She now has a CRV. Ugh.

I've got two coworkers with CRVs... they have nothing on my 4Runner. :P

They have auto all wheel drive and no way to control it!?!
 
I get the "no f'ing way" look/comment when they find out it is 12 years old. Hard for me to even believe myself sometimes. My neighbors often mistake it for my wife's 5th gen when it is sitting outside the garage.
 
I posted this on Blcktpgsr's page too, cuz he had a funny Jeep story.

About a week ago, I had a weird Cheech lookalike come up to me and say, "Hey man, I like your Jeep. We should take it up to the Rubicon together."

What bothered me most is that we've never met each other and he thinks we should go the Rubicon together in my JEEP. Oh, and he was driving a beater Honda Civic.
 
My neighbor comes over every now and then, cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, and looks at me and says:

"Now what the f*** are you doing to this thing?"

I think he's a secret admirer because he drives a minivan every day.:boink:
