    Yes I guess I just assumed that wasn't an option or going to be an option anytime soon and pulled the trigger to fast. Oh well I'm still happy and there are alot of guys pulling the suspension off of there trd off roads and might be able to get some for cheap, just no locker or crawl control I guess for me

    You can always add a air locker. Those you can use in 4X4 high or 4X4 low.

    Maybe it's what the person likes. Some dudes eat lots of ass. Others won't. Nothing wrong either way. Enjoy what you enjoy.

    Yes, lifting with blocks and spacers does not help off road. You get clearance but the rear end wants to fall off and the front end is going to snap the shocks.

    Crawl Control is not crap. The feature itself is not all that great, but it has saved numerous people in sand. MTS is a part of fhe same system as CC and it is, by far, not a joke

    Nah, the black and gold one is a custom 2.5" hydro bump from the folks at Fox. Gonna probably tear it out this winter as I'm going to weld in a secondary shock hoop so I can run bypasses along with the coils.

    Just kidding, my LandCruiser has a solid front axle and I'm hunting for a first gen tundra to do a long travel on.

    IMO trucks look way better with a little lift and bigger tires. Even if it's just a leveling kit. And even if I don't plan to Offroad it.

    It's funny how people get visibly upset about people doing things for appearance/aesthetics or general subjective looks. Oh, so you mean to tell me you've never done anything because you think it looks cool?

    In this case it's extra funny. Because "oh, tell me more about how dumb people are for cosmetic choices. Wait sorry I can't see you over the glare from your fake hood scoop"

    I went with the fully loaded TRD OR just cause I never thought I'd ever buy new. Got the color matched stuff and tech w JBL

    Figured if I'm buying new I'd go all out, plus that resale value if I ever decide to trade up

    Just not pro all out
