    @RedRunner87 I must apologize...I guess I should have said/written this more clearly....I have had my sticker for several years and have grown a little tired of it (the one shown in my picture...is the one I've had for several years). So I've been looking for a new TRD sticker to put on.

    Now Low and behold Mr @ramonortiz55 just installed the one and only TRD sticker I've been looking at to replace my old one. Actually I had just requested a price quote from a guy for that very sticker...lol!! I guess...once again, great minds think a like!! Unfortunately for me...it's back to the drawing board...now I will have to fine another style of stickers.

    @RedRunner87 if you can afford to get synthetic line...I would get it. 2 big benefits. The biggest is weight. Not just being heavy on the front of your rig...but when you start pulling line and carring it around to hook to a tree or rock...that calbe gets heavy real quick!!

    The other reason is safety. When doing a pull, steel cable holds energy in the cable. Meaning if the cable breaks...the stored up energy is released and the broke cable will whip around. And if it hits you, it can cause some major damage. Now the synthetic line doesn't hold energy...so when it breaks...it just falls to the ground. I think the extra money is well worth the synthetic line!! That my .02!!

    You make a good point on the synthetic line. I didn't think of the holding energy part of the line, was also thinking it will be better for being in the cold environment. Less likely to rust out here in Colorado. I agree @ramonortiz55 stickers are awesome.

    The 4Runner is supposed to have a rake. I believe the SS and Toytech lifts both have rakes.
