Peace???
Hey guys!
Thor, I'm really sorry your thread took so much heat! I really don't know what's got everybody so uptight??
C.O.B, Not really sure why you got so upset about his initial post?? He was simply making a statement that he thought his truck was exceptional and wanted to know if the rest of us felt the same.
The rest of you guys that are hating, just seem to jumping on the bandwagon, which, I don't understand either. I guess alot of crap has been said (typed), and alot of people got offended on both sides of the table.
I can understand why Thor would lash out after being attacked like he was, however, extending it farther than it had too, could have been avoided. That being said, I'm thinking the best way to conclude all this non-sense, is to simply man-up, apologize to eachother for being so negative towards eachother and our rigs, and simply move on??
We all know that there is a great wealth of knowledge here, great people behind that knowledge, and it's normally a great place to hang out and learn about this hobby I like to call "4Running"!
Again, I'm on my soap box here, but alot of this could have been avoided, if those who did not agree with Thor, simply said so, using Diplomatic wording rather than outwardly flaming him. We can easily express our opinions, without insulting people. Using the sentence: "I'm not really a fan of (insert the mod of choice), but props for trying it out!" or "Honestly, not really feeling the (insert mod of choice), but if you like it....than that's all that matters!" In Thor's case, regarding his past wiring job: "Hey man, props for trying that out, but if you don't mind me saying, it may be a little cleaner / safer, if you use wire loom to cover those wires...".
I guess what I'm trying to say is, we can give constructive critisism without bashing the OP.
I'm really having trouble seeing all of you guys bicker like this, we are all part of a tight nit group of 4Runner enthusiasts. You can maybe even call it a brotherhood (sorry if there are some ladies among us), how about we all agree to disagree and just call it a day??
To conclude, and hopefully get the ball rolling, I'd like to apologize before all of you, to C.O.B, and whom ever else I may have insulted while trying to defend Thor. I'm sure some of my words, could have insulted some of you, and I would like to express my deepest apologies.
