    Well you did, the trick is to not do it at all, not to pretend you didn't after the fact.

    Now, stop being a whiner.

    TW is 90% BS and 8% technical info. 2% is "what size tires can I fit stock? And what size can I fit with a leveling kit? I want 38s and I don't want to trim."

    Point being, a lot of threads are functionally useless, many more posts are useless as well. That is how things work. It seems a little misplaced to post in a thread that the thread sucks and then call the member an idiot under your breath, doesn't it? DoorDing is my número uno pick for member of the year. In fact, I can't really think of him ever making a post that isn't abundantly helpful, humorous, or otherwise not worth reading.

    Lighten up a little bit. Maybe it will yield more bites for your fishing lures.









































    You know what I mean? :rimshot:

    Because hooks!!

    I may have 20k posts, but don't forget my cranky jerk posts to helpful/funny post ratio is always going to be better than yours. Relax, and don't take the internet so seriously.

    In the day and age where a man can be turned into a "woman", and a woman into a "man", I suppose a 4wd could be made into a prerunner, but I can't help but think that it's going to have a plastic-surgery type of artificiality to it. And maybe, just maybe, a deeper exhaust note than a real, from-the-factory prerunner.

    I'd like to reduce my horsepower significantly. Should I just unplug a couple coil packs? :notsure:

    No but seriously, a lot of people remove the front diff and axles from their UTV for weight reduction. I've been all over Glamis in 2WD so I can *kinda* see THAT scenario....but not in a Tacoma. :goingcrazy:

    A person "needing" 4WD is equivalent to the following:

    -a PGA Tour player "needing" a long putter
    -a mountain biker "needing" full suspension
    -Tom Brady "needing" to deflate footballs
    -a poker player "needing" sunglasses
    -an already good baseball player "needing" PED's
    -a perfectly abled person walking down the street "needing" a Segway
    -a person with a perfectly good vacuum cleaner "needing" a Roomba
    -a person not interested in baseball but going to their first ever game "needing" to buy a Giants jersey to go the game
