    I'm not sure, paper is pretty dense. It might get lighter if they're carrying a bunch of packages, depending on the package.

    Must be a crazy slow news day for those guys, way to write a segment on something that's been old news for decades now lol.

    That lady has no one to blame but herself for not knowing about the recall that expired in 2019, it's not like her truck's frame rusted that badly overnight. Probably been like that for the last several years at least.

    Also, I like the door slam sound for dramatic effect when she describes the "BOOM" of her frame cracking lol

    and despite that I bet we will have at least half a dozen "I bought a truck with a rusted frame for $12k and Toyota won't replace it :mad: :mad: :mad:" threads this year

    Seems like a smart mechanic wouldn't be putting his arm and head between a rusted frame ready to break and the lift.

    Platinum mekanic he is not, silver mekanic at best


    I hate that Google won't let me intentionally misspell something without retyping it out 10 times to prove that I want it to be that way

    It's on a drive-on rack, not a frame lift.

    Man that's ducking spot on.. I was floored when I visited my sister at her house for the first time and had to drive the mile or 2 on a dirt road to get there just to have her tell me it's an HOA.

    In the mountains by me you can buy acreage for a "reasonable" price but 90% of it's owned by Weyerhaeuser and to buy from them means you don't own any of the rights to the trees on your property and they can come in whenever they feel like it to clear cut the mountainside

    I've debated going this route because you're allowed to have grinder pumps and composting toilets and (although strict) you can collect rain water for drinking use but I really hate the idea of losing the forest around me

    No one sells LT LCAs by themselves that will work on the 4runner. At least, not that I have found yet. I already have SPC UCAs and don't want to replace them. Also kind of want to stick with traditional ball joints if possible.

    Hint, push the first suggestion in the suggestion bar, that is how you spelled it and will tell google to ignore it

    They seem to be one of the few options for 2nd gens/4thgen 4runner. Same LCA on them. Cheaper than the Total Chaos ones and use a traditional LBJ too.

    you just don't get it! We're more woke than those idiots who pay crazy money to live in the suburbs! We get to enjoy nature and our peaceful home as long as we don't paint it a color the HOA doesn't like or attempt a DIY project without hiring a contractor!
