Looks real good!!!!!.......To all the naysayers and chicken littles......now see, the 5th Gen. does have lots of potential and they will probably offer the V8/torsen center with locking rear back again in a year or two if there is demand and the economy finally turns around.Maybe they do know what they are doing!

I'm usually a stock kinda guy, but you gotta admit that's a bad-ass rig! :jaw drop:

umm, did they end up blowing the front shocks?? If you look at the beginning of the video and note the clearance on the front, then watch at the very end you can see the difference in clearance.

Here is the Baja 4Runner at the LA auto show from yesterday. Looks a lot meaner when it's dirty, I'm glad they didn't glitz it up for the show.
