Could not have stated it better if I tried.
I don't mud bog every weekend, like a quiet tire and don't do anything I could possibly need a lift kit for.
Give me smooth and comfy with the capability to offroad occasionally and I am happy. ;-)

Thanks...and like your signature about gun control. I see you are in Colorado, that is where I wanted to move next as gun laws in California are horrendous. I am thinking the 5 year plan, 5 more here and then move to Colorado where I can wheel, hunt, shoot, and actually own property I will never be able to afford in Los Angeles! hah
[MENTION=103267]Saker[/MENTION] and [MENTION=127657]codyHTX[/MENTION], your rigs look perfect to me. I am hoping to score a TRD Pro so it has a level/minor lift and good ATs off the dealer lot. That way I will not be tempted to lift it and start dumping money into it like I have in the past with trucks and Jeeps. I spend all sorts of money on good lifts, tires, bumpers, winch, sliders, skids...and then I rarely wheel. Makes sense to me at this stage in life to have a 4runner that is along the lines of what you guys have. I am sure they go more places than most people will ever imagine taking their vehicle.

Let me tell you about Colorado:
It's ugly. Ultra Liberal. Uneducated. Pot smoking hippies. Snows 300 days a year. LOL
All bullshit.
Colorado is the kind of place (native speaking here) we don't talk about because so many people come here and go "Shit. This is unreal". Little slice of heaven quite honestly. If you make it out here, I have a gun range that includes 20Ft to 1000ft berms. We'll go blow some shit up. ;-)

You're on...I do not shoot in Cali....I fly home as often as I can to see my parents in Pittsburgh and go to the range and hunting with my dad, In a few weeks we are going to Canada for a bear hunt.
yes I hear the whole deal that Colorado is full of Californians now and its terrible, and cost of living skyrocketing too. But I have friends from various aspects of my life that live there and LOVE IT still. And two of them are gun owners and hunters. There is certainly more off roading and hunting there than in Los Angeles.
I did "live" in Colorado for two years a LONG time ago...I went to Air Force Academy my first two years of undergrad, played football and powerlifted there, broke my eardrum boxing so was not gonna be pilot qualified. But as much as it was a prison and we barely got to leave, I woke up everyday looking at those mountains just in awe. I loved getting out and told myself someday I could live there for sure.
As much as I love hunting, guns, trucks, and am old fashioned...I have been immersed in liberal environments going to Colgate Univ, coaching at Yale, living in CT, living in the DC metro area, and now LA. I have come to appreciate diversity and people doing their own thing. So I do not mind if there is some pot smoking hippies and over the top liberals in Colorado, I also know there are cowboys and everything else in between it seems. And plenty of truck guys and hunters.
I do miss shooting more often...besides shooting with my dad regularly, I used to have a job I got paid to shoot all the time.

I was being facetious about the ugly, ultra-liberal,pot-smoking thing.
Yes, we are getting more crowded. Yes, pot is legal here (not that it really matters because people are going to smoke pot whether legal or not). Traffic has gotten worse, but home values have doubled in 10 years so there is good with the bad.
I love Colorado and have lived here my whole life.

I was tracking you, but noting that some people (even on this very forum) will rip on Colorado....
Good the housing values have doubled for those living there already! Bad for me wanting to move there in 5 years!!
In the beach town I live I hear the homes on the ocean just a few decades ago were a few hundred thousand, now they are 20 million....literally...those who lived here or have parents or elderly relatives living here is like winning the lottery...
The two years I "lived" in Colorado I loved it, and have every time going back to visit. I daydream of having a 4runner and Jeep and getting to use them regularly in 4 wheel drive on trails....and getting out to shoot and hunt regularly!

Eeh, if you want to move back here do it.
I will argue with people that more songs have been written about Colorado than any other state short of Cali.
The home prices have increased but it's proportionate to income.
It's no coincidence that Hawaii and Colorado have ranked in the top 10 places to live for the last ten years.
I am going to move at some point however. I'm getting older and sick of snow and shoveling/snow blowing and my house is worth a shitload of money in the Colorado economy so I think I'll just load up everything and.. let me quote Neil Young:
Think I'll pack it in
and buy a pick-up
Take it down to L.A. <-- Not. Probably Tucson or Texas
Find a place to call my own
and try to fix up.
Start a brand new day.
The woman I'm thinking of,
she loved me all up
But I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind.
I hear her callin'.

Texas might have something to say about that.

Actually you have a good point. Lets meet up for lunch in Luckenbach with Willy, Waylon and the boys. (Love that song in particular).
And ZZ Topp and Stevie Ray Vaughn were from there too among countless others. No doubt Texas has produced some excellent musical talent and its share of songs.
FWIW - Texas is on my short list of places I am thinking of moving. Boerne area in particular. And if Hillary gets elected it may happen sooner rather than later and I'll cross my fingers that Texas says "Phuck it, we are seceding from the union". That would be cool.

After lift with stock 265/70R17's.
I like the look of the 265's. I do plan to exchange the Dunlop's with 265/70R17 Duratrac's as soon as the budget allows.

Only 2" here but I do have the Spidertrax and 265/70 Grabber AT2's. The top picture is unloaded. The middle picture is after adding 140 pounds of CBI bumper and losing about 3/4" due to the weight. The bottom picture is a rear view showing what the spacers did with my 8" wide wheels.
