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

[T4Rex.]

When u honestly believe you drive the best vehicle in the world...and would straight up trade any other vehicle for a 3rd gen 4Runner!

 

[TRDteen]

when you consider getting another car, then waking up the next morning and say what the f*ck was i thinking!?

jeep friends

When you respond to your Buddy who has a lifted Jeep ZJ and has just spent the weekend upgrading his junk because it broke while I was pulling it out of one hell of a snow drift;

"Wait, you UPGRADED TO 3.73 gears?? What DID you have?????? 3.55's he answers..."

and then proceed to tell him that your 4-runner came FACTORY with an E-locker and 4.30's :bounce:

True Story

 

[renn1234]

College student mindset.


When you are deciding between putting gas or starving yourself that night .

 

[Duluth4Runner]

when you look into getting a brand new wrangler and realize it would be a downgrade from your 13 year old 4runner

 

[nyvram]

When you show THAT episode of Top Gear to someone at least once a month.

 

[Kurtis]

When you can't decide whether you fix it so you can wheel or you wheel it so you can fix it...

 

[Kurtis]

When you own more than one of the SAME generation vehicle....

 

[TNRunner99]

When you get stuck at a red light next to a glass storefront and spend the whole time at the light looking at the reflection of your 4Runner.

 

[Singtoe]

When you automatically release and press the sunroof during the half way mark.

When you're at a red light and start looking around and say to yourself, "WTF is that sound?"

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)

The Xterra is a good truck. (2nd gens I know because we have one)

Haha. I know they are. Especially the second gens. It just seems like the demographic Nissan is aiming for is not the demographic who's buying. Everyone I know with the Xterras are all girls, high school aged, who just like a bigger vehicle. They all love them though. But now that the Pathfinder has become another crossover (like the Rogue and Murano weren't enough), maybe people will start buying these and putting them to real use.

When a new member posts on this site... I want a cold air intake... and you have to explain over and over again what a deck plate mod is!


man, 3ed gens are the best!!! I give the "fist of furry" to every 3ed gen drivin down the road.

 

[habanero]

I give the "fist of furry" to every 3ed gen drivin down the road.

Why oh why am I picturing a dude in a 3rd gen waving a handful of hamster at me?

 

[ridefast]

yea its the best most intense gesture i can come up with... i probably get flipped off a lot, haha. I wish i had a 3ed gen, but 3 carseats don't fit. I can barly fit 3 in my 4th gen.

Radian car seats will fit 3 across in a 3rd gen, are very sturdy and cost 3 arms and a couple of legs.
