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

[tystaco]

When you have to buy a second one because your wife won't stop driving the one you got for yourself.

 

[FROGrunner]

When your wife/significant other counts throughout the drive how many 3rd gens they see...

You know you're a 3rd Gen....

When you put a heavy duty ARB bumper on your 96 T4R after you hit 2 deers with your car (Civic Si).

Or you can't stop driving your wifes basic sr5 4runner to where she tells you to get your own and you go out and buy a loaded limited...

I got the 2000 limited with locker for me...she liked it too much, so I got a 1999 limited with locker for me in a better color!

...or you lost your '97 in the divorce in '98 so you had to buy a new one for yourself in '99. Even so, the '97 stayed in your name and you got visitation rights including the right to drive it while you're there.

 

[FROGrunner]

When you are driving next to a FJ and they give you a thumbs up :thumb:

That when you buy a Subaru and know you made the wrong choice three blocks away from the dealer. (WTF was I thinking)

+1
Co-worker got into a head on collision iin his 1999 4wd Limited that he'd had for 15years and 306k miles. He bought a new Forester and resents it because he likes his old stock 3rd gen better.

When everyone and their little Mexican grandma has one, and it's OK; it's an excuse to look at more 4runners!

when you have more random parts and half-baked long term projects on your closet floor than you do shoes

 

[JZiggy]

When your friends and coworkers say, "dude, your 4Runner reminds me of highschool!"

When people look at your torn leather seats and think you drive a shitty rig while your rig will probably outlast theirs by 5x the timeframe.

 

[ltsr]

When you take pride in having a high mileage rig.

When you carry spare parts in your truck full time.

 

[baja1]

when after many years you still pull up to the pump and pop the hood!:brick:

Way to make a guy feel old!

When you disconnect ABS to make your ride more safe.

 

[derekwilliams345]

When you scoot the driver seat all the way forward, take out the headrest, and lean it all the way back to make the perfect nap zone.

or

when you'd rather take your chances setting your drink in the passenger seat than use the shitty in dash cupholders that you spend 4 days in a junkyard trying to find...

 

[baja1]

when your buddy refers to your 2WD as a 2runner....

What parts do you carry with you?
