I'm a Mexican. I own a 4Runner. I'm also an attorney. I have owned and still own several European luxury vehicles, and know other Mexicans that own vehicles that make our 4Runners look like bottom-end budget cars (and they bought them with honest, hard-earned money). I don't think I have the right to say who should own what, or what they should do with it. Now I'm not going to rant and rave about ethnic stereotypes and other such ignorant nonsense, but I really don't need to be reading this type of crap in a forum that I suppose, was designed for all of us here that have a common interest/hobby in a certain type of vehicle to share thoughts, ideas and information in an effort to enjoy our vehicles to the max. I'd appreciate if we all keep our comments to that, if anything, for the sake of our children who will (hopefully) someday, be reading this as well.
That being said, I bought the 4Runner mainly for my wife, since we are having a baby girl in May. I figured it's a safe, reliable vehicle and will turn her into a proud, classy soccer mom (lol) and not have her throw out her back geting the baby seat in and out of the car. I traded in a Volvo S80 T6 because it sat so low, that I knew it would be a problem with the baby. But I also don't like the "raked" look of the 4Runner, and my wife complains it's too hard to see backing up. I'm interested in leveling out the truck so it looks nicer and so my wife can drive more comfortably. Besides, here in Southern California, lowered SUV's seem to be quite the rave, and why not have 4Runner owners in the spotlight as well?
With respect to the springs at issue here, it seems they lower the front and back of the truck equally, which I assume will have it end up with the same raked look. I don't want to pay $550.00 to just use the rears, so if anyone finds an alternative, I'd be eager to know, so please keep us posted.
lol haha
