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

[MyHigh]

When you can't use the automatic door locks because it's so hot outside.

Seriously!! I just discovered this out last month in San Diego's 90 degree February of course that just after the 85/mph gust of wind in a spectacular storm that rolled in off the coast.

I'm glad I found this, now I don't need to worry about the motor going out, it's just normal!

you notice a 4runner from very far away, in the dark, just because you can "sense" it.

or you rubber neck every 4runner you see, period.

The 4runner force surrounds us, it binds us. You must feel the 4runner force aroun..... oh wait a 4runner is driving by.

We are all normal, it's the other ones, who don't even know that they're even missing out. Though 4runners are going up in value here in az

 

[offroadxplr]

When people think your 02 is much newer than 14 years old.
Also, when people think its worth much more, had a guy tell me he thought I paid around 18k :wow: for my truck.

 

[GangsterOfLove]

When you read T4R.ORG CEL threads and know what the various code numbers mean without looking them up.

 

[ThorInc]

when you see newer runners and remind yourself that you are a great grandad.......eep:

 

[TRDteen]

When you hit 220,000 miles with 4 friends in the car on the freeway and pull off just to get a picture. :thumb:

 

[mtbtim]

When you're searching for something to work on so you can make a video of it and share it with your 3rd Gen Brothers on the forum.

 

[Dlavoie9]

When you call it a truck and people look at you like you lick windows and say "it's an SUV, it's not a truck" then have to explain to them why you call it a truck.

Congrats on being a smart and safe driver! When I was your age, I would not have thought twice about taking a picture while driving down the freeway. Though I would have probably just told the passed-out hooker in the back seat to wake up and hold the wheel while I snap some pics...

 

[meRockboost]

When you look at another 4Runner and say "Damn, that non-functional hood scoop is exactly what I need on my 4Runner."

When you get 35 miles on a 1/4 tank of gas.

 

[MuddyButt]

When everytime you get your 4runner serviced at the dealership someone tries to buy it off of you.

 

[TRDteen]

When you get 35 miles on a 1/4 tank of gas.

HAHAHA you got me on that one dude. Worth to mention the car was full, and LOADED down with camping gear.

 

[JDSmittyman]

When you love your 4Runner so much you never sell it. Literally. Never. Cannot find the right one. Haha

 

[Bstrom]

Awesome thread - when you agree with every single comment, that's how I know I'm a 3rd Gen owner...

 

[fblainen11]

You own three of them.....?

 

[giovannie23]

When you have to warn your front passenger to not knee your shifter

 

[MN4runnerman]

I totally agree when I see a good deal I try to buy it. I need a group shot with mine. My place looks like a used car dealership.
