Cool Hopping 4Runner

I just thought this video was really amusing. And it still makes me wonder how he did it.

thats what it looked like to me. Even blown shocks do something. no shocks at all and its really unbelievable how much hop you can get. plus when the truck started out from a stop we saw that the tailgate was a different color. anyone who would let their truck be filmed like that probably isn't dumping the money into it for airbags. BTW I would let my truck be filmed like that.
