I see tons and tons of T4Rs especially 3gs around where I live and I always wonder if they're on the forum lol. Anyone else do this? We need stickers or something hehe.

I know my wife and kids get tired of me seein other 3rd gens and saying "I could tell that guy so much about his Runner".
After all I've learned from this site, I feel like I could help other owners. Maybe if they'd just join here, huh?
 
I generally only get curious if they're modified in one way or another...

I saw a guy at Starbucks the other morning that gave me a creepy head nod... And he ordered the same drink as I did, kinda strange.

Then I went out in the parking lot and the only other vehicle was a silver 2002 Sport Edition with a Toytec decal, and no running boards parked right next to me. Clearly it'd been lifted a couple inches.

He knew what was up.

That's what I think too... "Geez, I wonder how many miles on that one and how close are they to the pink milkshake?"

Did the same on my Land Cruiser - "Wonder how long before their HG or PHH blows?"

:driving:
 
I do all the time! Every runner I see i usually give a wave if I'm in the runner. I thought about making some business cards to give out but I am not an owner or sponsor or anything, so I bought some stickers and posted them up.
 
Not a lot of guys around here who own T4Rs and interested in them for the same reasons we are; but I WILL say that many of us Missourians will give each other the 'finger' (pointer finger lift) when driving by each other in opposite lanes. :)

Have you seen the moded 3rd Gen in the PX parking lot? When I was there for ALC it was parked there almost every day... Never got a chance to speak to the guy.

No I haven't. *scratches head* I've seen a modded 2nd gen, but that's it. I'll keep an eye out for it.

When were you here for ALC? I've been here since '08 - I work at the "NEC" (or "DOIM").

I was there through July and most of August this past year. Jesus it was hot.

He/she usually parked on the side of the PX with the food court, right smack in the middle of the lot.

I know what you mean. My mom's coworker has a '98 with over 230k miles and I had to warn her about the pink milkshake and timing belt. I'm telling her things about her truck she had no idea about thanks to this forum.
 
It's mostly chicks driving stock 3rd gens around here...every once in awhile I see something nice but then they see me in mine and prolly think 'geez, it's mostly chicks driving 3rd gens around here.' :p

Well dang. Too bad I wasn't on here yet - I've worked on base since '08, and worked for NEC (DOIM) since August of '10. Depending on what building you were in we might have walked right past each other any # of times. LOL

And yeah, it was hot as heck here. I took to carrying one of those bandanas in my right rear pocket to mop off my forehead - thankfully my job doesn't require me to be outside a ton (work on computers/printers/servers) but still.
 
Everytime I see a toyota truck or 4runner with the slightest bit of personality / mod's.... " I wonder are they a member of T4R or TTORA or YotaTech?" Always give a low wave as I drive by.
 
Most other people here with later model 4Runners don't really seem all that interested. There's a few really nice ones on the island, but I probably look stock compared to them. Most guys here love their Tacos and those are the ones you see literally every other car or two.
 
I tend to think that we "share a monent" as we pass when I see another 4runner especially a 3rd gen...

Yes yes I know. So Gay . :flipoff:
