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

[t4r4life]

When you hear the world "supercharger" you look at your wallet and cry

 

[habanero]

When you tell your 9 year old to plan on buying his own when he comes of age because you'll still be using yours.

 

[Drcoffee]

...when you have a perfectly nice Lexus sedan at home and you park at work and have your co-worker ask why are you driving your kids truck?

"I bought it. So its mine. I just let them use it."

 

[Kurtis]

When you refuse to drive your other 2 vehicles that get twice the gas mileage.

 

[farmerjon]

When your idea of a restful Sunday...

When your idea of a restful Sunday is driving 200 miles just for the fun of getting to drive the 4R.

 

[smithj33]

....When you just bought your first 3rd gen and have been on Craigslist every other day looking for another.

 

[Stockwell45]

When you can't wait to take it on another month long road trip, and wheel the piss out of it 1500 miles from home.

 

[04rnr]

When you wished, you had the stock power of a 4th gen :laugh:

When you see a brand new jeep wrangler on the road...and you smile to yourself knowing that your 15 year old runner with 230k miles will still outlast the jeep. My favorite part! :bigok:

 

[martin.1991911]

When someone says nice Pathfinder, and you try to explain to them that they are two completely different vehicles, and out of explaining for a few minutes how much better the runner is over the pathfinder all you get is a dumb look on there face, still thinking its a pathfinder.

 

[farmerjon]

Looks like a 3rd, a 4th, and a 5th! Nice!!

 

[nobb]

When you get into heated arguments with other forum members anytime they mention using a non OEM part (LBJs anyone???)

 

[that$pit]

Looks like a 3rd, a 4th, and a 5th! Nice!!

yep, looks like bad taste in coffee throughout generations, dutch brothers is even worse than starbucks

 

[psraff]

...when your kid comes home from school and tell you some a teacher's helper and his wife has tried to chase you down twice to offer to buy your truck.

Apparently they didn't know who's 4Runner it was until that day. Around the middle school my 4Runner is known as the Ninja Truck!

 

[02adventurer]

...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 at that moment, you realize your in the presence of a retard.

HAHAHAHAHA i just laughed for a solid 5 minutes at the 2nd one...and still snickering

 

[KHoffRunner]

When you roll it... then drive it home.

 

[lilreds21]

i want to like this one over and over again!!

over and over gain

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

 

[Blanco]

When you spend about as much time under it as you do inside of it.

 

[smallfry]

You cry when you see one in a salvage yard.
