We had some dude wake us up last night by ringing our doorbell about 12 different times. I was debating bearing arms, but resisted that urge. When I first looked out the window to see wtf was happening, I see there's a 4runner dead center blocking our driveway. My first thought is how in heck is a 4runner stuck (I've been bombing around in the Tundra, and we've had my wife's Xterra on not really at tires btw) out a few times as well.
Guy seems to not speak English which helps a ton. The gist is that he's trying to ask if it's ok to park near where he is, and I try and communicate that as long as he's not blocking our driveway he can park wherever. He gets back in and proceeds to spin the heck out of passenger rear tire while none of the others move perceptibly. I ask him about 4x4 and he says something about something broken. Fast forward 15 hours, and the damned thing is still out there. I'm not a 4runner guy. I like them, I've ridden in a few, but I've never owned one. How rare is the rear locker on them? I do know where to look, so hopefully there's an easy end to this when the guy shows up again.
Other than rear locker, or me towing the guy up the hill, can you 4runnner folks think of anything obvious to look for? He's sitting on a better AT tire than our Xterra, and has way better tread depth than my Tundra. I feel like this could be some hidden camera type crap waiting for me to blow my top or something. This is the only suv that's been stuck in this location since we got our snow here. People were able to get a 90's Grand Marquis out yesterday for pete's sake.
