I am going to sell my 4Runner and buy this one

I was thinking about installing a lift kit. Purchasing so nice off-road capable tires until I saw the 4Runner on this link:
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND

And then I knew the real purpose that Toyota came up with the 4Runner. I was doing it all wrong. This is the ultimate 4x4

I have to give it to the creator of that truck that it's beautiful work and the level of detail is unparalleled. I wish I could fabricate like that, or at all!

Not my cup of tea though.
 
It has more custom fabrication than most everybody's lifted 4Runners.

I just wish it had a V8 and a supercharger.
 
I don’t mind this at all. My first truck was a lowered, black Nissan hardbody complete with pink/purple scallops. Pathfinder fenders, billet grill, Toyota bumpers and all. Life was great living low back then.

I still am alway on the lookout for a semi decent c10 (68-71) I can ride low in with a nice rumble under the hood. Lol.
 
I dig it.
In the late 1980's into the 90's I wanted a lowrider bad. I'd sketch them with bubble/ fade/ scallopped/ crazy graphics/ multi-colored striped paint jobs... Any truck would do.
I ended up buying a 1988 S-10 king cab, short bed with the iron duke 2.5L 4 cylinder and 5 speed stick. I wanted to lower it but never did. It did have 2 15" pyramid pro subs in the back for a couple years- HA!

Oh man to be a kid again.

Still when I see a lowered truck it makes me smile.

Now a squatted 4runner- NO! (taildragger with the front aimed at the stars)
Squatted anything... no.
 
It's a throwback. The 80s low rider scene had a lot of the 2WD japanese pick ups, back when the 2WD versions had a totally different frame and 5 lugs vs 6 lugs. They rode a lot lower stock. Then the 4Runner came and shared a lot of looks in common with the 2WD pickups. Guys wanted an SUV version of their lowered 2wds and this is why you see many lowered 4Runners like that.
