Yeah I kinda figured, the "old timers" that's cool. I just had to know. Thanks for not giving me more crap about it. As for the @, I'm not all that forum savvy so I did not know that. Sorry next time.:cheers:
No it wasn't any offense to anyone. I just meant that I personally better not use any words like overlanding until I understand the real meaning of it. Maybe by the end of this thread there will be one? But until then I'll just enjoy taking trips and "camping" with my 4runner.:cheers:

Tough one. How and who makes that call. I think 1engineer has a good point. Just my thoughts ban me from it if you want. Find it funny how some threads have been moved or unacceptable for lack of 5th gen content but others haven't. Example (not picking on anyone) "Input on Navada/Utah trip" by...
I just installed the toytec ultimate front coils set at 1 3/4 of lift, and T-13 coils with bilstein shocks in the rear. Rear before measurement was 36 1/2", after the lift and driving a couple days 38". This is to bottom of fender. Should have done center of axle to fender but the math still the...
Air hammer. A little pressure and zap it with the air hammer. Tie rods, ball joints pop right out without any damage. Pickle forks damage the rubber boots. But looks like ya got it figured anyways.:thumb3:
