I am living in shame. It is time to confess my sins and hope that I am not stricken from this site, verbally abused and have my name equated with chicken feces.

The story begins when I sold my Sequoia and bought a sedan. Suddenly, I had SUV pangs, so I bought a an 86 4runner so I could feel whole again. The 86, which I dubbed WOPS (Worn Out Piece of (EXCREMENT)) was, as it's name implies, pretty far gone. Knowing I'd need them, I advertised locally for 4runner parts and was contacted about an entire 89 runner. The guy told me I could have the whole thing cheap. True, it was a 3.0 auto but I stole it for $600. The upside is the body and interior are perfect and it has (had) a 2-3 lift so it looked tougher than it actually was. WOPSII was reborn!

But now it is time to speak of my transgression...Last week I cut off WOPSII's balls by removing the lift. Gone are the extended travel upper arms, 26mm downey torsions, front axle extension mounts and extended bump stops from the front. Tonight after work the 2-3" spring blocks come out of the rear.

Now, the parts now lay on my garage floor and mock me. I can't look at them. WOPSII sits on the drive looking like a former boxing champion that just grew breasts. I have never intended on wheeling WOPSII but I know I have sinned.

I humblely seek forgiveness from a higher power.
