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

[huntsman]

When you see some random FedEx guy out in the parking lot checking out your 4runner and you think to yourself, 'Freak, this guy must have hit me and is leaving insurance information on your window'. But in reality he is leaving a note offering to buy you rig.

True story.

When you google "stuck open sunroof on my 4runner" FML

When you can enjoy the shocked look on someone's face when you tell them it has 200+ thousand miles on it.

When you are reading this...

 

[4Running Daily]

When you're constantly showing your friends, family, coworkers, and enemies pictures of your truck on 2 wheels on your phone.

(Yes it is a truck g** d*****)

 

[Brian757]

...When for just a SPLIT second, you see a late 90's Isuzu Trooper and think its a 4Runner. (Dont act like this never happens to you..)

...When people try to compliment you on your Jeep. And in that moment, you realize your in the presence of a moron.

(Yes it is a truck g** d*****)

Heck yeah it is!

Any SUV that is still to this day a body-on-frame (truck chassis) deserves to be called a truck. (Except the Xterra)

 

[mcaz5]

When on even the slightest of inclines, everyone else just flies past you.

 

[Jaystoy]

When you pull up next to other 4x's and just feel smug. That's right my truck is better than yours!

 

[farmerjon]

When you find yourself at Walmart checking out the stick on dash clocks

I have no idea what this means.....

 

[farmerjon]

When you look forward to and are excited to drive your 4Runner it's been a week since you drove it last.

 

[4Running Daily]

When you look forward to driving your 4Runner and get all excited because it's been a week since you drove it last.

You know you drive a 4Runner when you can't go a week without driving it.

 

[farmerjon]

Better said, 4Running Daily!

Edited mine a little clearer lol.

 

[myers0ma]

When you are walking to work and look back more than three times at your 4runner and feel sad that you are leaving it-when you have 224000K and garage floor is bone dry-when you are excited to buy a vehicle with ONLY 224k and have no concerns driving it 150 miles home at nite and worrying about breakdowns!

 

[LINY4Runner]

when you automatically specify that OME suspension is made by ARB because nobody's heard of it and thinks it's cheap junk

 

[CedRunner]

When you can't wait for the rain to flood roads and muddy up the banks so you can seek out some areas to play in 4lo. Darn california weather lol.

 

[BigFishAllDay]

When you go camping and purposely leave the tent at home.

When someone says Satoshi and you don't think it's some type of sushi.

 

[Snowy21]

When you have to factor in wind speed and direction when determining your ETA on a road trip

The only thing you really concern yourself with on the trail (besides CV's) is keeping the cargo glass off the nearest tree/rock
