    actually...a lot use both. Mostly cause LR can help import everything, sort, and batch export and batch edit.

    Im glad i know it and have it.

    PS is just the surgeon, and LR is the doctor/nurse.

    Works great together.

    Hell Adobe made a program called Bridge that literally makes using files with all their programs easier..just haven't done it..

    One is better then none though.

    Faster than you LOL jk.
    Of course i dont go fast off road i dont have the suspention for it. Thats just asking to roll or break the truck.
    And what i was getting at is when they guy that doesnt have LT suspention on his truck and gets a deal on led's it's kinda stupid not to run them but I aslo did say that as far as led spots go they dont outperform HID's.

    My wife woke me up at 7:30... Her gas light was on so she stopped at the gas station on her way to work this morning and couldn't get her gas cap off... So she came home and took my car. I just went out and couldn't get it off by hand either. So I stuck a big pair of vice grips on it and with some force it went click click click... Luckily I didn't strip it but I'll bet a few of the teeth aren't so happy... Needless to say I flipped the car around and left the gas door open to the sun. With any luck the fucker is just froze on there. If not, well I might have to get creative with my rotary tool or something. haha

    :rofl:

    If the damn gas caps were solid instead of having that anti too tight feature or whatever it is (you know how when you spin them so tight they just start clicking instead of getting tighter) the thing would be off or completely broken after I used the vice grips. haha

    So I figured my wife's car had thawed by now and went out and tried to spin the gas cap off and nothing... Got looking at it closer and it was crossthreaded on there:facepalm:

    Before you go off on the dumb girl thing... This is very uncharacteristic of her. haha She grew up on a farm she knows her shit. haha But that doesn't mean I'm not going to give her a lot of shit for it :D

    Now I need to figure out how to go get a new gas cap... Can I drive without a gas cap on? Especially when the gas has maybe a gallon of gas in it?

    i will always like 4runners. Some cool shit out there for them. Really the best platform for simple overlanding stuff IMO.

    great photos. Wish i was there too. this would be the time to go. No traffic hardly i bet.

    the 4runner is going bye bye. Toyota has already stopped making the FJ cruiser and the 4runner is next.

    yep. Too many vehicles with the same motor that doesn't get great mpgs. and the tacoma is the most popular, so it wins.

    I'm surprised that Toyota doesn't just hop on the diesel bandwagon like everyone else is and keep them around. Maybe the sales just aren't good enough to justify the cost of a redesign:notsure: Though they recently redesigned the 4runner so maybe they don't want to spend the money to modify it to run a diesel.

    Sounds like the Tundra is getting a diesel soon. Haven't heard about the Tacoma yet.

    Diesel in America is a MAJOR pita. Our emissions standards for diesel are off the freaking charts compared to the rest of the world.

    thats why we don't have diesel versions of vehicles everywhere. That and diesel is hard to sell here cause the general public doesn't like it.

    My Dad said CAT pulled out of the market for a while the emissions standards where so bad or something. Just said fuck you guys and stopped selling diesels. haha



    But thats why basically.


    Same goes for BMW, VW, Audi...the works.

    All the cool lil diesel cars in the world and we get none of them.
