BlairB's 2008 4Runner

[Thai]

Thai,
Besides my tires and my bling-stick (Hi-Lift) mounts, what mods/plans do you not agree with?

I would not mod my 4runner like what you have done to yours. I would have concentrated more on capability rather than trying all sorts of lift kits. But, i think that this has to do with how we off-road. Still, i would have gone a much different direction. I don't like to modify factory suspension geometry too much for fear of loss of durability and reliability, which is inevitably the case with any significant lift kits. (Reliability and durability were two factors why you bought a 4runner, right?) I much rather concentrate on things that will improve upon the factory setup and improve traction. So, i would go for only a mild lift (1" spacer front to improve front clearance), FJ springs & Bilstein shocks, rear locker, rear diff breather mod, sliders, and proper off-roading tires (probably 265/75/16 or 255/75/17). That's it. No wheel spacers. I would bet that with this setup, my 4runner would be just as capable (if not more) than your truck now under most off-road circumstances, ride more comfortably on-road, AND be more reliable/durable.

BTW, i did not say that your hilift mount was bling-bling...i said that your HI-LIFT itself was off-road bling!

Could someone enlighten me as to who banned Blair, and for what reason?

How come BlairB was banned...he's always been very mild manner.

Look next to his avatar under his name.

Oh i see. Maybe you can pm Gatorgreg and ask him.

I think there's a conspiracy...because BlairB is still banned, but right here, it shows that he's logged in.

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

I got banned one time because I posted in a "spam" thread. Some mods just attack without warning.

 

[BlairB]

Looks like I got un-banned.

Maybe someone doesn't want me around here....:boxer:

So what happened?

 

[BlairB]

So what happened?

There was some spammer in the classifieds and all I posted was "moron" and as a result was banned for "contributing to a spam thread". Odd if you ask me.....

:violin:

I got banned for the same thing.. some mods aren't to bright if you ask me. They need to send out a warning, and I'm not sure how that contributes to spammimg, this forum is already infected with the spam bots, posting in the thread does not bring more of them in here..

Guys, this thread is about BlairB's 4runner and his mods. It is nothing about complaining about why you were banned. The admin/mods enforce the forum rules. Remember, many of you whinned about how the mods and admin do not enforce the forum rules?? Well, when we do, you guys complained about them being too strict!! No win situation.

Just accept it and move on.

I am moving on, just wanted to give the reason for my ban. I understand that it is a no win situation, I just don't think its in the "spirit" of the rules to ban for a reason such as that. That is neither here, nor there though.


Time to get this back on topic! I have to post pics of my new rear shocks, new reinforced diff bracket, Total Chaos diff drop, new CB antenna, new CB location, and also realize there are a few various mods I never posted pics of (subs and such). Stay tuned for pics....

BlairB...you may want to do it SOON...so, that we can have some completed pics to...uhhh...showcase your vehicle somewhere....

they want you to enforce the rules but have them be the exception to them.
