    I've been putting some serious thought into selling the 3rd Gen 4runner and picking up a 4th gen, preferably one with the 4.7. Want a little more room, some more power and never thought I'd say it but I wouldn't mind having an auto. Won't be happening now but possibly this year. Thoughts?

    My only real reason for the Bosch is I like how slim they are, much easier on the hands for extended work. But my HF one works just as well.

    I don't use my Bluetooth one much if you'd want to borrow it to test out to see if it works.

    I'd do it if I had the cash. I love my 3rd gen, but the power is lacking (even with a supercharger) and it's not the most comfortable vehicle. My parents have a 03 V6 and it's really nice even being a SR5 only. Plus you could tow your truck with the V8.

    lol, it works for my little projects. If I was hardcore like you I would get something better seeing as I would use it almost everyday. My buddy who is a welder said the same thing, "that grinder sucks". lol


    Snakes!!

    Damn, that's crazy dude!

    Last question regarding grinders, what discs would you suggest for cutting off/smoothing out hoops on a bumper?

    Yeah that's what else I was thinking about, been wanting a diesel but with everyone and there brother having compensation issues you can't get anything with less than 200k miles for a decent price. Diesel ricers screwed up the truck game. But I really do like the 4th gens, plus my buddy ran a 14.7 quarter mile in a stock v8 one and that makes me a little excited....
