3rd gens are not safe trucks. These things are notorious for rollovers, hence why in 2000 Toyota lowered the stock ride height. Then all of us decide we want to lift our 4Runner a couple inches with larger tires, raising the COG is a few inches higher than stock making the problem worse. The ABS systems are also worthless, so that rollover may have been avoided if you were able to stop in time. If safety is your concern then sell the 4Runner and get a Volvo.
