no worries,
yeah.... boring and you won't make very many friends, lol, we're all buddies here for the most part because we share that common bond and pain of trying to remove the rear shocks or learning the process involved for installing/shoving the front lift coils in up front, and the bloody knuckles involved.....sure you can go out and buy a sweet rig but there's no substitute for building it and making it your own flavour, if you look at the built 4runners for the most part generally speaking they are all the same , it's the little details and personal touches that make them stand out and what really makes it your rig, not OldSven's, Absalom's, resurectedvikin ect's rig that so and so is driving, you know what i'm saying.... and really the work isn't that hard it's just the time and effort doing it, and personally that's where i get my pride in the vehicle , it's not that it looks cool that makes me feel good (in a way it does) but what makes me feel really good when i look at my truck is knowing "i did that"
or "i built that" that's where my pride comes from, not the fact that i have a lifted and locked 4runner, but the fact i built a lifted and locked 4runner.

plus doing it yourself will cause you to be on here more and get to know the guys better, we're a really good group of people, though i may be an a$z ...lol
it's how i got to know these people and learned, it was from all of my stupid questions and asking the same thing at least 3 times before someone explained it to me so i could understand it, lol ,


sooo yeah take that for what you will, some people just want to go out and wheel and enjoy the truck, some want the pride and knowledge that comes with completing a build, different strokes for different folks , not going to knock you either way, i just know my heart lies with the latter build it crew.

also like said above, for me rust or "MAJOR" mech issues would cause me to jettison an already good truck with higher miles considering a 0 mile motor is so cheap.
