Your truck looks awesome! Have you done anything else to your suspension? And how do you like that magnaflow?

Here's my thoughts on it: With all things cosmetic, it's really up to you. However, I think the 4runner looks great either way, but with the satoshi grille, I think you almost NEED a spoiler to complete the whole badass-rugged-fastcar-sport-jumping-cool look, as the satoshi almost brings the looks of the curves of the body backwards, so without the spoiler I think it looks like it gets cut off. Do what you want, though, as it is YOUR truck, not mine. I just thought I'd say what I think would look cool. You could always take a picture of your rig and shop a spoiler on. However, I did want to ask, what all do you use your truck for? Just doing bad ass jumps? Or trail-riding and whatnot, too?

How's that 2WD treating you on those CA trails? I'm a 2WD in MO, and from these "trails" I've been on, it does get pretty scary at parts, especially sitting on stock suspension lol.
Edit: Also, did you notice any difference with the Satoshi (Other than how it looks, Ofc)? Does your engine stay cooler? Anything? I personally think satoshi's look great, but AFAIK,
@ Redswan
is the only one actually needing one with that supercharger (IIRC, his intercooler is mounted high up on rad), but I've kind of wondered the difference it makes.

Trails out here aren't really to hard. Unless your going on the specific 4x4 trails. But out in the desert 2wd is perfectly fine.
As far as the satoshi mod goes, I haven't really noticed any cooler temps. I believe it's more cosmetic if anything

I guess I should just move out to Cali until I get that 4x4 swap done then. Then I go to Colorado.

I won't think it makes a huge difference in performance, but It is worth the effort of doing it for the slight increase in efficiency of the intercooler.
