For a short period of time, it wouldn't do much harm. Besides, just make sure the smaller tire is up front, put it in 2wd and drive to the nearest garage. Problem solved.

Do you plan to lift the rear? Because the current stance gives it a severe case of butt sag. No offense, but it doesn't look good at all unless you actually crank the rear a little. Then it will be badass.

I received my issue of FourWheeler. What a crap test. They didn't even compare it to other SUVs, like they used to do in previous years. They just gave the title to the Toy. WTF? I didn't learn anything new about its capabilities, the issue where they tested it on the Rubicon covered all...

That's a great thing to hear, because with each generation that passes, most SUVs become soccer-mom wuss mobiles. I felt like Toyota was headed that direction when the 4th gen came out (never was a fan, maybe I'm wrong, no offense here), but clearly, the 5th gen is the real deal.

Here's the vid from when they first tested it. Both 4runners were stock, save for better tires and rock sliders, and both made it through the Rubicon, and then back to Toyota's headquarters 700 miles away. Great vid, but the music is awful (sounds like some drunk amateur playing with a cheap...

Can't wait to receive my issue, I'm a subscriber (and, hopefully, future Trail Edition owner).

My 3rd gen did the same thing with sway bar discos. Just sayin'.

Hence why I never paid the premium prices most car companies demand for Nav systems when I can use my cheapo Tom Tom GPS while on the move.

Well, the body style could be a lot worse, but it looks like what it's supposed to look : a cheap SUV. 2.7l to carry around all that weight, and only offered with a slushbox and 2wd. Not much appeal...

Hmmm... not sure of the way the 5th gen's dash is made, but I, for one, prefer to put my GPS on the left side of the cluster. No huge blind spot in the middle of the windshield, and wires are easier to conceal. In my Subaru, I hardwired mine using a piggyback fuse holder on top of another...

Yes. I am. And the MPG rating is different in Canada since we use imperial gallons.

I read that Toyota would finally offer a manual tranny along with a turbo diesel engine. And then I woke up. :smashputer:

Looks like a cover under which there could be a screw fastening the trim panel to the body.

Well, neither did the 3.4 yet it did feel quicker, hence my post. Huh? MPG is MPG, the only difference being the type of gallons used, here, as I discovered.

Mine does, but... You are right, imperial gallon... They still rate the truck at 25.5 mpg highway.
