I noticed it, too. People at my school talk about upgrading to 31's like it's a magic number for their explorers and rangers, I'm like yeah, I have 31s...from the factory, and my car even starts when it's cold.

Yeah I noticed it all the time at school especially, and like Los Gatos? said, people talk about upgrading to 31's on their Fords mainly.

I've seen some huge looking F-350 Superdutys with 235s. What gives? They look like pizza cutters on those big trucks.

If I watched "Dazed and Confused" a couple times by the end I'd be passed out and the house would burn down. I'd have to explain to the firemen about Wooderson's muscle car, and it would just be a big mess.....

Exclamation So True

This is definately true! Even within Toyota, it is. My mother drives a '00 Land Cruiser and her tires are smaller than mine! By the way the Land Cruiser weighs more than a Suburban.

The new land cruisers (by new I mean like anything past the old station wagon ones) aren't really for offroad, yes they are capable, maybe more capable stock than a 4runner (w/ lockers and solid axles), but that's not really what they are for. They cost and weight too much to be a trail rig for most people. I got my 4runner because it's the only offroad-capable SUV (in my opinion) Jeeps are probably good/better offroad, but they are trendy (ever third college student in my town has a bright red wrangler w/ smitty built bumpers) and honestly I don't think they are as good a vehicle. There's really no SUV that can compare to the all around goodness of a 4runner, I'm sure people on jeep forums or mitsu forums or ford forums would disagree but on the trail I think toyota reliability speaks for itself. it may not get you over the biggest boulder, but it will get you home.
