This twaction board fits in nicely with the running joke, no?
This week, an Instagram reel featuring a new addition to the “Wittle Wadder” joke has surfaced: a “Wittle Wecovery” board you can post up on your Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro.
The reel shows a silver 4Runner with a roof rack. On the left rear side of the roof rack sits a teensy orange rescue board, complete with mini handles. It seems to be zip-tied to the roof rack.
The board is really made for RC car builds and doesn’t come magnetized. Amazon reviews show images of the board adorably positioned on finished RC kits. Looks like you can get a set for less than 10 bucks.
The whole joke began a few years ago with a clip of a guy mocking a small but functional (?) ladder bolted to the back of a 4Runner TRD Pro. The joke is to turn all your “Rs” into “Ws” while going on and on about what the driver might be able to do with the ladder and their SUV, ending each statement as a question.
The clip ends with the creator quickly reverting back to his normal voice and saying, “Nah, just kidding. Cool car, bro.” Since then, tiny toy-sized magnetized ladders have popped up on 4Runner owners in on the joke.
Toyota sells quite a few accessories for real 4Runners, but drivers have to go to an aftermarket supplier for a ladder.
When I searched for the wittle wecovery board, I was delighted to find all sorts of RC accessories that could keep this joke going strong. Glorious options include tow chains, “towable” trailers, brush lights, sports travel bags, and a mini roof light bar.
