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

[nicolasballia]

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!

Omg yes!!!!

 

[nicolasballia]

When everytime you see a pic of a 2nd gen with solid axle you get secretly jealous

 

[jrm]

When you keep buying um

b/c nothing else comes close:frog:

 

[TCMach]

When you hope you break something just to have an excuse for new parts.

 

[LINY4Runner]

...when you look in your rearview while rolling down your rear window because you love seeing the people in the car behind you's reaction

When you hope you break something just to have an excuse for new parts.

Applies to almost all truck owners lol

Applies to almost all truck owners lol

Very true, but I felt like it applied more to my T4R than any of my other cars. If I got rear ended in my 03 mach1 I wasn't exactly thinking "sweet new rear bumper with tire carrier".

When you've experienced a LBJ failure :happens:

 

[nyvram]

when you would rather ride around with all FIVE windows and the sunroof open than be in a convertible

 

[nyvram]

when the day you are flying home from a business trip the first thing you think about is getting your truck back.

 

[Diverse4runner]

When your side dash lights go out...ECT button, Rear defrost light, and Rear window toggle.

 

[Diagram14]

When you roll your eyes and recover ANOTHER Jeep...

 

[socalbry]

When your 'D' light bulb is out.
When you buy a 3RD Gen for yourself, your wife drives it and now she has a 3RD Gen as a daily driver.....except mine is an SR5 and hers is a Limited.

 

[runnyrunnerton]

You size up every Jeep you see and the finishing thought is ... "what an @$$hole..."

 

[rideexileex]

Explaining to others what the ECT button actually does... (even though its common across Toyota)

 

[Diagram14]

Its not a ****ing car!!!!

 

[DGO-SR5]

When every time you replace a piece of the suspension you find another is worn out

 

[lewisp]

When your dash clock burns out.

 

[RJLeagles2010]

...when you use the word tranny and people don't know what your talking about.

...when you know the salvage yard guy by name.

...when you call the local salvage yard and they tell that they do not have ANY 4Runners :thumb3:

 

[NateMob]

Just not feelin that one

It makes the truck much more enjoyable and fun to drive. They are with every penny in my opinion. I could describe my 4runner in many words, adequately powered not being one of them.
