You know your driving a classic TR4 when...

You pull your buddies cherokee out of a hole on the trail after he spends the day making fun of your toyota

Classic

a. Belonging to the highest rank or class.
b. Serving as the established model or standard.
c. Having lasting significance or worth; enduring.

Sounds about right to me. :nerd:

you deserve a medal:rofl:

but I may add that my rule of thumb for a classic also is about 20 years old and starts faithfully every day no matter the circumstance!
hot, cold, snow, sandstorm, flooded....:bravo:

Not really pertains to classics....but, when you pull up to a guy with a lifted (8"-12") chevy/ford/dodge in traffic and you realize you run the same size tire on a vehicle that is half the size with way less height. :bigok: I like to call them "brodozers."

I love brodozers. My favorites are the big diesels with 37" Nittos on 20" bling wheels and some skinny little tattooed shithead in a wifebeater and flat-bill cap behind the wheel. Extra points if it's a dually with a 12" drop hitch.

And don't forget the exhaust stack through the bed of the truck - right in back of the cab. Belching a butt load of black smoke.

when someone starts a thread saying that your 2nd gen isn't a classic...

... but the next 20 responses says it is.

Nice try? Haha

I put 25 years old as a good classic mark in my book. Secondly, they have to be special to be a classic. An '85 Honda Accord is not a classic - it's just an old car.

I don't think people are gonna be fighting each other over 2nd gens in the coming years!



You know you're driving a classic T4R when 2nd gens try to edge into the Kool Kids Klub. All hail 1st gens!

:focus:

-When you spend most of your free time on google looking at all the mods others have done to there 4runners.

-When you wave to a fellow 4runner driver on the road, but they just flip you off.
(I hate this. I'm in an area full of 4runners, but they're all just transportation from point A to point B. They don't take any kind of pride in how reliable and versatile their vehicle is.)

Seriously... I don't even bother. I've noticed that > 1/10 cars around here is a T4R, but most of them appear to be used strictly as grocery haulers. Far more Jeeps and one seriously tank-like old Suburban and an awesome old Land Rover around here actually outfitted with off-road gear.

Unless are privledged enough to work at a shop, with the whole thing at your disposal
:bigok:

- when your wife always refers to the runner as "the old truck" :doh:

 

[Lil Evil1]

You know your driving a first gen when you spend all day Saturday diagnosing the problem of the week, all day Sunday searching the internet and buying the part then putting the new part in the following weekend and none of this is aggravating to you.

 

[UteRunner]

...when your temp gauge marches to the beat of it's own very erratic, and possibly possessed, drum.:drum:

 

[dorton]

...When one of your wheeling buddies buys a new four letter word(*Jeep* Rubicon, less than 2 weeks old), then breaks down in the middle of the trail, where yours being the oldest and highest miles in the group by 20years and a couple hundred thousand miles is volunteered to drag him the rest of the trail.

Out here 'bro-dozers' are white Ford Rangers or Tacoma pre-runners. Usually with fiberglass fenders and bedsides and Fox or King coilovers sticking up thru the bed. Same driver though...

Just saw a Chevy 1500 with a Cummins sticker on the back. Nearly took the wrong exit because I was laughing so hard.

My truck sees the inside of my dealership's shop a few times a year... When I get specials in the mail for oil changes.:bounce:

HMMMMM... classic huh....

If my 91 runner is considered "classic" does that make my 67 mustang "Jurassic"?? haha!

:suspicious:
