do lift kits prevent damage for everyday drivers???

[shakey1378]

im guessing a lift kit may keep a 4runner looking nice as it guards against swinging doors and flying shopping carts in mall and market parking lots preventing dings dents and scratchs from inconsiderate meat heads

You would have to have a huge lift to be totally safe from those people. It is just better to park out further and hike it in.

Not hardly, only if you have a SAS rig or 12" of lift. A set of rock sliders helps too I imagine, but the safest bet is to park out away in the Clark Grizwold parking area away from where lazy people, the ones who will smash, ding, dent, set things on your hood and fart on your rig, are never going to park because then they would have to actually do something, like WALK!

safest bet is to park out in the boonies and grab a shuttle.

or you could have one of them bumpers that went around the whole car like the one in one of those cartoon shorts that showed new fangle ideas for cars. funny cartoon, the person ran the car into a wall or something and not a dent on the bumper, but the car was totaled inside the bumper.

I think the only lifted truck that doesnt have to worry about dents and dings is Bigfoot!

Er. don't the running boards prevent some door dings?

Personally I just park further out and don't worry about it. Dings give a car a personality!

You can always use one of these "modification" to cover up the dings:

The biggest pet peave of all is when I go to the gym.

The gym is supposedly populated by people going there to workout.

Half of the time the parking lot is full of people waiting to get a parking spot closer to the front door! Are these people there to workout. They just typlify the laziness our society has become.

What a joke.

The back parking lot has tons of open spots to park, they just require a little extra walking distance.

Sacstate,

That always freaks me out. Anywhere else I have a BIT more understanding but at the gym I can only just shake my head.

And I totally agree with you, laziness is my biggest pet peeve and the gym situation is a sad comment on our society in general.

I get a good laugh at the same thing every time I go to the gym. Sounds like good Seinfeld material.

You guys just don't get it!! You want to save as much energy as possible so that you can bench a lot of lbs in front of girls in the gym! Strategy!
