I saw the coolest 4Runner today

TRD Offroad, Grey Metalic, Lifted(it looked higher to me), All terrain tires, Spare tire in the back like the FJ Cruiser, a gas tank in the back, some metalic thingy on top of it for cargo, no stupid running boards. I loved that setup. Do any of you have a similar setup?
Also, what purpose does it serve to have the spare tire on the back like the FJ, more ground clearance???
This 4Runner looked way cooler than anything I have seen.

 

Man, I’ve been looking for a chance to use this emoji, and then come to find out its so wide you cant see the word pics.

Anyway…pics or it didnt happen

 

I had my phone on the mount in the car to grab quick food from Chipotle. When I came out I saw the 4R and it was moving. Took me like 2 seconds to observe it. Missed the chance to take a pic, though I am so good in taking pictures of 4Runners. Just couldn't take pic of the coolest one

 

Well, here’s my effort to help then. Lets just pretend you saw this one:



Discuss…

 

Yeah, but it had gas tank next to the tire. 10 gallon tank probably.

 

This will be me in 6 months. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Pro looks cool in black.

 

for starters, spare tire on the back, makes it easier to access, than being underneath

 

The original reason for the spare tire on the back besides easier access is oversize tires do not fit very well if at all in the underside spare tire location plus if overlanding and it happens to be muddy who the heck wants to deal with all the mess on the underside?

 

Also, spare tire in the back makes it clear to everyone that that you wheel, bro.

And not having jerry cans makes people think that you might have an extended range fuel tank mounted underneath (sometimes you have to be subtle).

 

The spare also makes a great spot to mount a trash-a-roo or some traction boards, which also lets everyone know that you wheel and scores some broverland street cred points.
