    I think your best option is Agile Offroad for Balljoints and upgrades. Anything else I may be able to help.

    Definitely want a multifaceted job that requires physical intervention, if all you do is theoretical/non physical and formulaic... Well then, it wouldn't be hard to tailor AI as a replacement.

    Before the 33's it just looked like it skipped leg day haha. It's gotta be 4+ inches in the back. Some kind of OME overload with Airlift bags in between. It rides like a one ton, just how I bought it.

    Nah 5vz. It feels like a 3rz though. Coming from my manual 3rz to an auto 5vz, I'd bet my Tacoma would mop the floor with this 4Runner. It's gutless

    The slush boxes on this gen of Toyota suck up so much power it’s crazy.

    Previa. I’d only buy one if it was manual.

    I know my wheel and tire combo isn't doing it any favors either, they're almost 100 lbs on the dot per corner. But man, I'm pretty sure my UPS truck out accelerates the thing

    This is exactly how I felt about my truck when I picked it up from Nelson's last week after buying my 4runner a few weeks ago lol. Minus the anemic part, the 4runner has really made me appreciate the Tacoma's extra umph.

    Yep, been there!

    Right after the lift before tires; tires got installed the day after -

    I've been spoiled by my winter beater T6 Volvo for pep. But getting back in the 4runner after having something turbo for months, it was just all lag and no boost haha. I do still have more faith in the 4runner for reliability though, 14 years older and 276k. It'll still outlive the car

    Ideally I'll probably do different coils as well, these things ride so damn rough it's almost comical. And shamefully over a year later I still have a set of Kings for the front that I haven't installed. I just haven't had any motivation to work on the thing

    Fuck dude, I can't recommend getting your own business cards enough. When I was 1099, 89% of my business was either word of mouth or selling myself. The other 21%? Sales from Business cards given out.




























    Math seems wrong? Thats cause I give 110% to work:luvya:
