Jaos-ed 4runner

i saw a bad a$$ 4runner today at the bank. i pulled up while he was pulling up. I was staring at his 4runner, and he was staring at my pickup hahah

i know ive seen that 4runner somewhere before online, here on yotatech, or somewhere.

its a white 3rd gen 4runner all Jaos-ed out. His has TRD and Jaos all over his car. He has Jaos mudflaps and a Jaos logo with "GOT DIRT" on his rear window.

he has those chrome exhaust header looking side steps, chrome ladder in the back, and a brushed aluminum roof rack on top.

just curious who that was... coz its bugging me coz i KNO ive seen it before.... or someone who has a 4runner like it

I believe his member name is Jeffrey Yao, but I may not be right.

I'm sure Bob's (idiot) is the one you're talking about. You are very much in the minority if you like that look, perhaps the only individual. :rolleyes:

You guys might be right...

but I think there is someone else on the forum who may fit the profile. He just posted recently about the nerf bars that his girlfriend got him, and lots of people seemed to really like them. However, I can't remember is name off hand...anyone else remember?

Guys

The one that Corey posted is Bob (not me) of bobs4bye fame. The other one that CTB mentioned is Jeff Yao's 4runner w/ the quirky-bent nerf bars.

Bob

First of all, I am pretty sure that is not Jeffrey Yao's rig. His did not appear to have as many modifications as the one you spoke of, for instance, the ladder. Either that or I didnt see his ladder in any of his pictures.

Second, Im just wondering who Bob is? You all seem to dislike him. Ive only been on this forum a little over a month now. What is his SN?

Yes, the rig I posted is Bobs4by, AKA "Zesty" from the old VMag forum days.

He is not a member here, and will not be
He was on this old "open" forum.
http://forums.vmag.com/suv4runner0600/

Anyone could post as anyone there, and he would often use my name to attack others.
He used the name Zesty over there.

Jeff does have the ladder on the back...if you look through the back window in the first picture you can see it.
