[LINY4Runner]

Not sure what made me think of it, but we had a thread like this over on the RX-7 forum wayyyy back...so lets do it!

"Like" your favorites and I'll keep a best-of-the-best list going in this post!

You know you're a Third Generation 4Runner owner when...

 

[LINY4Runner]

I'll start it!

You know you're a Third Generation 4Runner owner when...

You budget your wheeling trips not by how much gas you'll use but how many CV Axles you'll use :nod:

 

[that$pit]

When you let someone take it to the store and they call you and say it won't start. O wait third gen not 7, damn I miss that car

 

[NateMob]

You wish you had a supercharger every time you drive it.

 

[zooroadbaja]

when you wave at other 4runners on the hwy

 

[nyvram]

you never outgrew your tinkertoys

 

[LINY4Runner]

when you wave at other 4runners on the hwy

when you're suprised when you actually get a wave from another 4Runner

 

[smkd13]

when you refer to your truck as "my 3rd gen"

 

[LittleCaesar]

when you look great rolling down the highway in the company of all the new bling Range Rovers, BMWs, and the like, but also having the capacity to go offroad almost anywhere. And its paid for.

 

[lewisp]

When you take every possible dirt road, side road, or alternative route that doesn't have pavement, whenever possible.

 

[fluffeh]

When you can actually be comfortable and have stuff like power locks AND be able to offroad. Seems so alien to most of my friends.

 

[RonMAIDEN]

...when you replaced your rear axle seals at least once.

...you know what a deckplate mod is.

 

[02running]

when you convince everyone its a truck with permanent camper shell and a carpeted bed.

 

[that$pit]

You wish you had a supercharger every time you drive it.

Just not feelin that one

 

[Brian757]

When your in traffic and your trying to find out what the hell that sound is.

 

[Tom P.]

When you spend hours and hours on T4R.org... in one day.

 

[nyvram]

when the former owner calls you out of the blue 5 years later and begs to buy it back.


(true story btw) lol

 

[toykidd]

when you spend more for the mods to your rig than you spent on the truck in the first place! and when you look out at your truck and your seatbelt is hanging out of the door!

 

[downpour11]

When you keep hitting your head on the back hatch because it won't stay up
