What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Nice! Was it free with a case of toilet paper?

Good color

 

Nice!

I need to get the front and rears.

Already have the cargo liner and I love it! Looks a little different than yours.

 

I know! So much better than the carpet ones lol
I have the 3rd row seats so that's probably why...

 

Ah, ok.

That makes sense.

 

Am I the only one who finds the lighthearted references to 'coronavirus sales' in very poor taste? Considering people are dying from this. Maybe no one you or I personally know, but still...

If I am, I'll shut up and mark this as a thread to ignore. I was, however, hoping this forum might have a bit higher standard than a lot of them I've run across.

 

You're right, of course. Stupid me, I keep trying to believe the best in people.

Back to our regularly scheduled 'what have you done...'

 

Awesome! Folks will really see you coming now!

 

Thousands of people die every single day from cancer, murder, car accidents, flu, etc.
do you want us to shrivel up and just be bitter?

 

When's the last time you've heard of a cancer sale, murder sale, flu sale, etc?

 

Exactly.

 

I don’t even know what you’re referring to and really don’t care. One poorly placed ad attempt? Cool. My point still stands. And y’all should be worried about economic collapse and not the virus.

 

Hahahaha, good test results!!!

 

I admit after seeing your post I'd say my comments were rather insensitive. My comments did not really take the impact/and or death toll into account I was rather focused on the fact that the dealership was a virtual ghost town due to everyone social distancing themselves. I do see your point and I do apologize for my remarks.

 

I appreciate you acknowledging my point...congratulations on the new 4R.

 

I tend to joke about things like this on occasion. It's not meant to be disrespectful or trivialize the situation we're all in. It's generally intended as comic relief, when everyone is on edge.

Aside from that, it's not like somebody's making a joke about someone dying. It's probably more of a comment about how crazy things are right now.

 

Thanks! iPhoneXR. Edited with Adobe Photoshop HDR filter

 

Please stop posting images of good looking / successful mods. You just make me want to go spend more money.

 

You must love the dark humor of the military and its members.

 

Got my ceramic coat yesterday, still waiting on a few items from the Zon (shipped before they restricted orders), spent all day detailing. Woke up this morning feeling my age. Still need to finish it up today.

 

I’m with you on this. Humor is a coping mechanism for a lot of people. Personally I have very thick skin, I can joke and laugh about damn near anything.

Here’s my view on it... the Corona Virus is not some Memorial Day celebration type sale, I take it as the economy has more or less crashed from the fallout of all this and businesses are willing to cut their profits to bring in some business hoping to stay afloat until it blows over. It literally is a sale because of Corona Virus.

 

Here’s my .02...

We are living in a world of unknowns with a very concerning virus that is going to infect and kill many more. We all having different coping mechanisms. I find humor in anything so I generally try to keep my humor to myself. But not everyone should... Now is not the time to get upset or take anything personally. All our energy should be placed in protecting our loved ones.

We all will get through this as a country and as a people. In the middle of the fist fight you shouldn’t be worried about what the spectators are doing...

I have see many evil and beautiful things in my lifetime and bad juju is not something any of us need. Trust me... Excuse my romantic sense but we are all UNITED as a country, as a humanity and hell even as a forum about 4Runners.

And lastly we need to thank god for our first responders and blue collar workers keeping this shit show together.

Doctors Nurses EMTs Cops Firearm Men Truck driver ETC

Remember there are children and spouses that have to say goodbye to their father/mother/husband/wife to go protect others during this difficult time...god bless those souls!

Take care and carry on my friends and keep on a’moddin’!

 

I agree with your overall message but you lose me with this...

WE don’t NEED to thank your deity of choice, you’re more than welcome to if you so choose, but it’s not your place to tell other they need to.

 

That is 100% correct nobody NEEDS to thank my deity of choice based on my opinions...

 

OK guys, not to be a douche over this but this thread is not the place for virus talk. There is thread for that. Here it is:https://www.4runners.com/threads/anyone-in-quarantine-yet.12808/ Let's keep this one to modding our amazing trucks. Thank you.

 

I think it needs more tire..

What do you guys think?

 

Had to make sure what thread i was posting in with all the virus crap.

Not the best pic, but very impressive. Ceramic coating is not the boogeyman people make it out to be. Still need to do the glass rims and steps... i can do the rims. Brb

 

With that lift, I bet a 275 would be the shizzle

 

Two fkn nice runners the last pics! Course, I'm partial to the grey!

 

I’m really considering buying a new 2019 Limited while prices are down.

 

I'm getting mine done sometime this spring. I was pretty impressed by how well it held up to trail rash on a guy's Tacoma last September. He came on a trail run we did, and afterward all of the fine scratches wiped away like magic.
