    Yeah. Snowboarding does that too. It's always a fight.
    Your avatar still stresses me out. Leave my place of zen.

    I've never been big into snowboarding. I hate the idea of my feet locked into place. Same with wakeboarding

    Maybe because I just started a build for it recently?
    Or maybe early signs of dementia and Alzheimer's

    Lol I'm the complete opposite! I can't skateboard or surf, but I wakeboard and snowboard all the time and don't like the idea of my feet being able to move.

    Perfect, I've been wanting to wheel both those places! Started the mojave road but had a mechanical problem with another truck and the bypass screwed us to say the least

    Na I only drive it when I'm working on it or we all go someplace together in it. It's her rig.
    Kids are just not so little anymore. Taco is getting too small and Tundra is too big. T4R is just right (for the moment) for family camping/wheeling events.

    i have really fallen in love with my 4runner, which is good because ive spent a lot of money on it. But it really is a good size vehicle, parking is easy, drivability is still nice and it rides nice and carries my shit and locks it inside. I didnt think id like it as much as i do when i first bought it.

    I agree. Very little I would change about the 4Runner. Glad I got it!

    I just got back from getting an alignment. Well I actually didn't get one,,doh not sure what to do.

    My ADS were shipped to me with 22 threads showing. I got my new rack installed and truck aligned(supposedly). When I got it back it seamed ok but tall. I lowered it 10 threads which equaled an inch at the time. Next day we drove up and over a pass in the hills and I parked it until today. Drove like crap obv since I had thrown off alignment with coilover adjustment. So Monday I made appointment for alignment.

    When I just got to the alignment shop I noticed it really squating. Looking at my SPC control arms And they are angled up a little. Quick measure and it is sitting low now. As for alignment I can tell one of my arms UBJ is moved from were it was significantly. Also can see my cams are maxed out. So I guess I need to pull them and crank them up a few threads before I have the real guy align it. Grrrr
