    Haven't come across it yet...
    Saw blaze land, rough country and one more I can't remember right now...
    I've asked before but just can't decide whether to do a lift now or just keep saving and being patient enough for SAS down the line

    Basically a cheaper more affordable version of the Total Chaos lift. My buddy is running on his 1st Gen 4Runner and loves it. Gets pretty decent flex for that style of IFS. I would run it if I had a 1st or 2nd Gen

    I highly recommend Blazeland if you are looking to offroad a lot. It will be more expensive but the flex is worth it.

    Keep saving. Stock will get you pretty far. By the looks of the pics I saw you didn't struggle keeping up with that super beefed up taco in Big Bear

    No offense to the taco world but the runners seem to be more capable stock then the tacos are modded lol.

    Never really dealt with a taco so I can't comment on that but just from experience with other brands, 4runners are one of the most capable models there is stock. Especially the 2nd and 1st gens.

    My buddy has the love child of a 73 and a 75 K5 Blazer and that thing is wicked. Lifted, crap ton of horse power, V8, all the goodies. Even does sweet burn outs, and he can't keep up with me off-road. I might actually convert him to Toyota 1 day haha

    I'm assuming that it's more wheel base induced than a suspension issue but a little tired of not being able to haul ass through some trails. Whoops start to buck the runner pretty good. Suspension doesn't seem to be able to absorb anything more than a small pebble. I can go pretty much anywhere but just not as quickly as I would like. The sluggish 3.0 doesn't help either...

    I am glad this popped up on top of my thread this morning, i was just coming to ask if anyone knew of a 4runner forum as rad as TW. Hopefully i can go find someone to take my factory running boards and fender trim.

    I have had my running boards in my room for 8 months now and no takers. I am about to throw them away. T4R.org isn't bad, TW is way better though.

    Think I'm sold on blazeland. Especially since you can swap over to coilovers later if wanted...
    As you can tell I'm just no fan of damn torsion bars...
