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

Nice, I need to get some for the fronts. Had Wet Okle in the front on my Taco ,worked great. Are the Carharts just like the jacket material? They look great

 

Think the seller had $58 on them...there was a 'make an offer' so I did and they accepted.

 

Well at least they’re not ducks on my dashboard blocking the defroster.

 

What is with that anyway? I saw two newer Jeeps the other day, both had plastic ducks strewn across the dash. One was a guy driving...I came from the Jeep world back in 2019 after having driven one or another for around 30 years and don't remember ducks being a thing.

 

30 years ago it wasn't a thing... it roughly started around 2020

So like most things, what started out good hearted and intended to bring a smile has gone WAY too far.. with people simply buying bags of ducks themselves and filling the dash as a "competition".

For me.. people personalize their vehicles in a variety of ways, you do you. The hazard of a crash or the degraded performance of a defroster (not applicable in warm climates) is just minor inconveniences. Have you seen the molle panels people load up in cabin for the 4runner?

sort of on topic:

this guy speaks some hard truths in this and over videos.

 

Wow.

 

I read somewhere that a woman had so many ducks on the dashboard that it affected the performance of the defroster in a negative way, like it didn’t work. My wife and I play a game on road trips to see / count how many Jeeps have ducks on the dash . We stop at 10 , it’s gets boring quick

 

Came out of Home Depot one time and had a duck on my door handle with a post-it note "No Jeep but nice truck". Put the duck on the lifted Jeep near me.

 

I play a similar game, but it’s called “Give the middle finger to the idiot Jeep driver with ducks on his dashboard.” I started it when I bought my 4Runner.

Now it’s like one of those OSHA signs “0 Days without flipping someone off in traffic.”

If you’re gonna be a bad example, it’s important to be the best bad example that you can be.

 

I guess it started during the pandemic and gotten crazy

 

Probably should be an internet crime to post without reference to the items.

how about these guesses:

I laugh and point at those idiots when I see them

 

I was going back and forth between these and the wet okole ones… i really like those! These carhartt ones are kinda like my carhartt pants and jacket. The rear seats (seat savers) seem to be the same material as the pants/jackets from carhartt. The front ones (“precision fit”) are waterproof and feel different, but look the same. It’s hard to know for sure though since they haven’t been washed 1000 times and aren’t covered in grease and paint like my carhartt jacket and pants, lol.

 

As you should. How else would they know they deserve ridicule and judgement? Lol
