you have a lot of hate for people who make curb crawlers out of rock crawlers don't you. don't get me wrong, i deep down am not a fan of it but at least dlbrunner is going to give a flying turd about the condition of the vehicle unlike soccor moms who overrev the engines just to go to games and they never use 4Lo.

Belize, nice find on the pics!
no problem and even if you do what he did, you can still off road, you will just have the ground clearance of a Jeep Commander(8.5"), well more or less

You need to read it again. I never said anything about hating lowered trucks just lowering a 4wd truck. I like lowered trucks as long as they are not 4wd.

The giant runner, that's a photoshop. Those are 747 jet turbine blades, and they were on a 70s model Monte Carlo originally IIRC.

Heh, my nissan is lowered and I plan to bag it so eat meh!

I love lowered trucks... I used to rock an 89 Toy Ext cab with hydraulics and chrome lexus wheels... Have had a mazda extended cab with bags... lowered countless trucks for other people as well... If I did not NEED 4wd now I would probably have a lowered truck now..
but I must agree about lowering 4wd's... hell sell the 4wd... buy a 2wd and use the extra money from selling the 4wd to pay for the lowering kit...
either way GOOD LUCK!
Post up pics when you are done...

Oh yeah I ran the Chrome valance from fbimini big thumbs up for their show chrome it was extremely nice stuff.. this was 10yrs ago.. but they were really friendly and helpful...

well, why can't they have the upper hand on the compition? thats why Nissan stuck 4WD in the Skyline. i would rather see a lowerd 4Runner thats loved than a locked FJ that only goes to malls and only uses 4WD during rain or snow.

There are many imports that can do that. Import doesn't strictly mean from Japan.

I'm a big Nissan fan, but the Skyline is still heavy.

I think you need to learn what a ricer is. Who the hell is talking about street racing? Way to flip the subjects around.

Lambo doors on a lifted 4WD 3rd gen 4Runner. The world really has come to an end when this happens.
