Yeah, I know everytime it rains I slide everywhere! At least I know when it snows Ill be ok since they have the snowflake symbol.
I guess the only thing worse than running your truck into a pole is PAYING to run your truck into a pole, also known as getting a lift.

Ya I am. A lift is about the worst thing you can do to your vehicle. You make an already top heavy vehicle easier to roll, and make it downright dangerous when you remove the sway bar, like one idiot did on this forum.
Your aerodynamics are shot so you get worse gas mileage. You put more stress on your driveline because of much larger tire diameters and larger and heavier aftermarket wheels, putting more stress on your gears that weren't designed to turn wheel/tire combinations that heavy. Your brake performance and life decreases. Not to mention your ruining your crash safety.
One example of someone screwing up their vehicle.

Look at this little gem. Can I say "I told you so" here.

Hey Tia,
Why do you drag yourself into these things? Just make a decision and unless you find YOURSELF questioning the decision, just stay silent on the matter. It

I have done a few anit-mods:
1) When I first go the 4runner I put some 18" aftermarket chrome rims on. After about 4 months put the stock 17's back on.
2) Got a Magnaflow Exhaust, after about a year took it off and put the factory exhaust back on.
3) Got a Volant Air Intake. After about a year took it off and put the factory intake back on with a K&N intake.
4) Put an OME lift, with some 17" Black Helo Maxx's on 275/75/17 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor's. After about 6 months I decided I didn't like the black rims so I put the factory 17's on the Goodyear's.
5) Got some Stubb Sliders, after about a 6 months decided I didn't like and bought some Shrockworks sliders.
6) Found a good deal on some 16" FJ TRD Gunmetal rims with 265/75/16 BFG AT's. They were brand new. I bought them and have had them on since then.
7) Bought a rear guard on Ebay, after about a year got a custom one made from Alexjet.

8) Purchased some black WeatherTech Floorliners, after about a year or so got them in the Tan color.

Thai said:Why is it your problem all of a sudden?? Seriously, this is between MM and me. What is the next "lesson" you're gonna teach?
On a more respectful note, why don't you learn how to spell my name first before giving out lessons??
Sorry for the misspelling Thai ( I have a co-worker that spells it Tia and it became habit). I was just trying to support your efforts to run a great forum. It seems you took it the wrong way.
Edit: I got involved because resent events are undermining the very survival of this forum.

Hey, i am not here to please anyone anymore...you're on my list, MM.
Let's put away the insults for now...explain to everyone here about what you said earlier: "The reason why your stock setup on all SUV's has a "dive" toward the front is because of towing capacity."
Any proof of this?? Or is this another one of your dumb assumptions??
Anxiously awaiting an answer...or are you gonna disappear again??

Hmmmmm... My unsolicited dumb assumption about the nose-down attitude is that it's all about crashing; more specifically crashing into the back of a regular height car. I read that on the internet so it has to be true:lmao:, besides that, it kinda makes sense.
:cheers:

And yet in this same forum, after you deleted several of my comments that were in disagreement with yours, someone asked about a double standard with you. Which happens to be one of the many things that you are now being called out for. How funny is that.
Perhaps I was wrong with that assumption, perhaps it is for crash safety, or perhaps it serves a double duty with towing capacity so the vehicle levels out when weight is in the back. This was admitted by you to be "possibly true" with trucks. So why not the same principle be used in SUVs, specifically the 4runner.
However, I WAS RIGHT about bala 2 plata, I told him he was screwing up his truck, you and him *****ed at me about it, how I was wrong and didn't know what I was talking about, and look what happened. I told you so.
