Cant get wife to bite......

OK , not in that way ....pigs !!

I've been trying to talk her into the CF leveling kit like deputy put on his 4R , she's just not buying it , I've showed her every pic of ever lift I could find , and she just does not get it.

Granted she gives me the its leased , but pending no accident or major issues with the truck I will buy it out since I will be 27k under my lease miles with and 80k extended warr. to boot, that I'm NOT going to give the dealer.

I do quit a bit of off roading , but it obviously would be for looks only . Since the front lift will only give and add'l 1+" and level it out somewhat.

I'll keep working at it !!!!

Maybe the fact i told her we need to thought a set of BFG's on and a bar on the front and a set of PIAA's pushed her over the edge. See she's footin the bill right now for everything until a get business off the ground. Why don't women see the advantages here>>>>>>>>>>???????????

Just buy it and have it installed anyways without her approval. I've done things like that a few times with my ex, she wasn't happy, but I was. So who cares...

I probably won't do that to my current gf though. It all depends on what and how much slack they give.

Emphasis on "ex"!

Falls, i think that you should get the 1" front lift, but hold off on the other stuff. So, i kinda agree with your wife and you at the same time.

What can I say fellas, I buy on impluse on smaller ticket items that will usually sneak by for the first week or so without anyone noticing right away. I had a new desktop computer for almost half year before anyone caught on. So I figure what the hell, do it now and deal with the consenquences later.

Falls,
Do you think your wife would notice the difference that the front of the 4Runner is now 1" higher? Sorry, I don't want to get you into trouble either, but just seeing if there's a way you can get away with it. I suppose I tried it enough and she finally caught on. Opps. Oh wells.

No she wouldn't notice , and she is actually very cool about stuff like that.

She just does not see a purpose in it ....lol .
She really doesn't care but just wish she was into the same stuff I am into. Hey I have no problem going shopping at Victoria Secrets with her. No reason she can't appreciate a set of BFG's and a nice little lift.

She's all in good fun , she has an absolute ZERO "B" factor so I always cut her some slack , she's wonderful.

I agree with you you think she could at leased try to get into the BFG's and lift

I was cleaning my Swith & Wesson Pistol the other day and my wife was just not into it at all!! ........ What the hell is that I have to go into the Yankee Candle store and pretend to enjoy all the candle's "fair is fair"

It's just give and take. Can't always take take and take. But it would also suck to just always give give give. So satisfy your love (wife) and you can satisfy your other love (4Runners) lol.

Tell her that for every dollar you spend on the 4Runner you will give her a dollar to go shopping.
Maybe she will get into it... Maybe you will go broke.
