you wanted an honest opinion, I think it's LAME!

That thing is too pretty to ever wheel, so are you into offroading or picking up teen girls at the mall?

That is probably a good thing...I would hate to hear about your girl droppin your ass...

I just looked at your website and it said "paint every possible part of your 4runner black, and use a sharpie to take care of the hard to reach spots"...thats where the idea came from...

I just have about a 10" magnaflow muffler right after the cat and thats it...sounds perfect to me...not too loud, not too quiet...the end is about a 1.5' long 2.25" to 3" tip.

I'd rather pickup teenage girls at the mall, but I'd probably end up telling them all guys are scum but their are exceptions, they only want 1 thing, if they tell you they love you it means nothin and they want that 1 thing, don't ruin your life over a boy who could acheive the same purpose with his hand, girl power stick together and don't let your ideal image be guided by magazines and airbrushed models on a diet of alcohol and drugs, and when it comes down to it the guy always wants the nice girl

Oh Yeah nice truck, my GF digs it and wonders why I drive a stocker :pat:

I think it would look better if the center was black, also (which you said wasn't possible, so no big deal), and if the entire outer lip was chrome or black.

Never thought I'd like it, not even sure I do, if I saw it on the street, the only reason I'd take a second look is because the black/ chrome alternating, and the center cap are like a car crash, you can't help but look. Also, I'd be wishing my truck was that lifted.

Good job.

thanks for the daytime pics. I really like your rig. Is it hard to climb in to? I'm sure it feels good to look down on every dam! Escalade there is. How is the handling in the curves? Does it feel top heavy like the old Monteros??

mgspann-
Hey, thanks for the kind words...I'll try to answer your questions. With the coil spacers in both the front and rear, the ride is noticeably stiffer than stock. It's much more prevalent in the front than the rear. I have taken it on a bunch of road trips here in MT where there is esentially no speed limit, and have been extremely surprised by its cornering capabilities and handling...it does pretty well, even at high speeds. I would love to get some downey coil-overs in the front eventually to improve the ride quality, but for now the spacers are doing their job. Feel free to ask any other questions, etc...thats what I am here for.

And yeah, the women arent too fond of climbing into the runner, though they always seem to find a new way in... ...one has devised a run, jump, and dive method, landing on the rear seat on her stomach, then gaining an upright position...they come up with a new one every day...lol.

Hey, just wanted to shoot ya a quick apology on my part. You have been a great help to me throughout this process...(pan hard, esp.)...there was no intent to flame ya, I got a little carried away with my sarcasm. I had no doubt this would stir up some dust, so I guess I am just getting what I asked for...

No worries dude! I got a tough skin as I grew up a preacher's kid and I am used to sarcasm, believe me. I'm glad to help when I can and sometimes my mouth (keyboard) overloads my face too!

Sorry Billy. Liked it better before, but it isn't awful like I was afraid it might be. Love the truck in general though.
