The most abused 5th gen on the internet

This guy absolutely beats the crap out of it on the trails, and also tows cars with it. Still going strong at 150,000 miles

That's pretty cool. He works it hard and still runs like a top.

 

Agreed! Also nice color

Can we get along now...

 

Edit: deleting this, accidentally posted in wrong thread. First post here too, so now have 100% idiot track record here. Moved to "What have you done to your 5th gen today". On a note valid to *this thread*, seeing some of the Jim/Erin Rose videos influenced the decision to get one.

 

I absolutely love that color... am I off to buy another 4runner ??

 

Very nice!

 

This guy’s 4r is what I am modeling mine after. No pos accessories allowed… just understated functional changes to the vehicles

 

You are calling my mods pos?

 

I would say the clown that claimed the oil pump plastic pickup tube caused eng. to seize get the most abused 4Runner title from looking at the pics he had posted.

 

Yeah, this guy's channel is great, not a bunch of talk and fluff, just he and his wife out on the trail. He also seems like the cool guy, he's answered every one of my comments on his videos I think.

I don't know if it's the most abused though.
Sir William Goes's red 4Runner is pretty beat to crap.

I'm really wanting Whistlin'Diesel to get ahold of one.

 

I would argue this is the most abused 5th gen on the Internet: https://carsandbids.com/auctions/9lkeGDmM/2018-toyota-4runner-trd-off-road-4x4



This SEMA-quality build would be ready for euthanasia except there's still a lien on it.

 

Disgusting….Please, I’m eating……

 

The horror, the horror...

 

WTF

To be fair, he also maintains and repairs it hard.

He seems to go through water pretty fast and hard, which probably led to some of the repeat rear main seal leaks.

I’d say this is probably the most abused 4runner.

He changes the oil every 10,000 miles. That's abuse

 

For sure. I'm quite a bit more conservative when it comes to water. Frequent maintenance def helps but I'd like to avoid seal leaks.

Good thing only an sr5 was donated for that experiment

 

^Did you did click through to the last picture?

 

That thing looks AWESOME!!!!

 

Wagon wheels are back! At least with this new fangled metal pouring technology we no longer need to water the wheels if the wood dries out!

Meanwhile, these guys gave up on them

 

Or it is proof that there is no need to change the oil so frequently
