I don't know if it is just the angle, but the stock 4th gen looks just as tall if not taller in this picture. Since they are different body styles, it can be tough to get a good reference point. You can't look at the tailights because the 4th gens are definitely higher up than the 3rd gens. If you use the rear window glass as a reference, they look pretty even to me.

Yeah,it's at an angle but there's definetly a big diff in clearance underneath since even stock for stock there's a couple inch difference in ground clearance between my year and the '03-'04. Yes,the rear windows line up but the bumpers aren't really close. The bodies of the 4th gens are taller than the 3rd gens so you can't really compare that either.
I've wheeled with stock 4th gens and mine definelty doesn't drag the underneath as often on the trails.
Here's J.A.'s '99 with the taller 265/75s vs his pre lift '07.

Is that Coney Island off 285? Drive by there all the time, not brave enough to stop and eat though.
Wow, those are interesting pics. So he has taller tires on his 3rd gen in those pics? I wonder how it would have looked with the original size tires? Also, the '06+ front bumper cover sits a little lower to the ground than the '03 - '05 body style. What is really surprising to me though is that his 4th gen appears to be higher in the rear than his 3rd gen. Maybe that's why your pic looks so close to that white 4th gen.

Yes and the food is what you expect meaning it's good 'ol greasey fast food but it isn't bad and their shakes are worth the stop. I love their chili dogs.

You are so right and others in the rest of the US would be blown away by how many 4Runners you see (every gen but 3rd and 4ths are the most popular) even if you drive just a mile. I've been at a stoplight more than once where every generation is represented so yes,you need a little customization to stand out a little.

There are 3 people within 1 mile of my place that have the same color 3rd gen that I do. :ybrick:
