when you break before the truck does.

exxon

when you pass Jeeps on the highway, and the trails. (when you do pass someone, it is usually an insult that a vehicle with 90 hp just passed you)
When your co-worker that you passed on the way to work tells you that your 4-runner sounds like a lawn mower.
When the valets let you park in the first parking spot in front of a high-end hotel next to a Mercedes G-series and a BMW 650, and you hear them talk amongst themselves commenting of how neat it is to have a vehicle like that. Little did they know my 4runner was marking some territory :yupyup:

When a lady at the gas station asks you if you're ok because she thought you had just crashed your truck.
LOL!
i love oregon wheelin.

Dingman.

When you have a welded rear and
...you get the dirtiest looks from people when you are in parking lots.
...you get yelled at by people to slow down when your in first gear idleing through parkinglots
...


when you have power to drift around turns on 40"iroks. (3.4l)

Dingman.

When you pass people going up hills on 37"s or bigger tires  (once again 3.4l)
when you do a 3.4l swap and everybody who rides with you hates you cause they want your motor.
When everbody wants you to help them do a 3.4l swap too
when your constNtly worried about blowing up diffs.
When you and your boss constantly diss each other on what the other drives
when you get a large order at work for Toyota driveline you get kinda pissed cause tearing apart Toyota cv's all day sucks..
When you have to build a super stubby jeep driveline at work and you wish it was a Toyota instead.
When you basically fully build Toyota axles and you end up wanting o e tons but you have too much money and time into the toy axles you don't wanna swap
when you notice your seatbelt hanging out the door and you think about this thread.
When you have a 4runner and everyone thinks the cool thing is you can sleep i'm the back when camping but you end up sleeping in the front seat or on the ground cause there is too much stuff in the back to move.
When you just end up keeping ATF And gear oil in the truck cause your rear diff and steering box leak and you never know when your going to need to fill it up
when you end up going wheeling and all your buddys basically have equLly built toyotas as well.
When you hear the name trail gear and your first thought is junk
and soooo many more

that Is very true.   Lol.  I mean we all know why they have scars but I don't think most do.  What's funny to me is when I see cars with more body damage than my truck

. . . . when your Toyota crawler is your DD because you know it's reliable enough to come home from the trails and take you to work the next day

. . . . when your Toyota crawler is your DD because you spend more a month on it then you would with a car payment

. . . . when you time big installs with weekends and days off because your Toyota crawler is your DD

you can actually do a weekends worth of wheeling without breaking.

You can actually do the trail and make it back to camp without a tow.
If I hit it just right, I might make it.
