My Sonoran Steel stuff is still going strong. I could use some cards or something to give out though. It takes too long to spell and describe Sonoran Steel to folks who covet my rear bumper.....

That's pretty much it. By legally, I mean if I get dragged into court "legally".

It's a huge risk to build custom vehicles that are driven on the streets, think of all the lawsuits the car manufactures get hit with over this that and the other thing. Even if you did nothing wrong, people dealing some sort of tragic event may try to place blame where ever they can. It is a big risk on my end.

I'll do this one more, but that might have to be it.

I definitely see your point Steve. It is a big risk. And not just with someone dealing with a tragic event, but society is so sue-happy nowadays too and 'someone' must be at fault... I just wondered.
I'll be checking in next week to take a look at the chop. Will it be stills or live?

I bet he is, until he adds up the $$ like I did and then weighs that vs. how much he offroads and realizes it's probably not worth it. If I lived out west and could wheel all the time, it would be worth it!

Hijack/
two words, Tort Reform.
That would free up the justice system greatly and most likely lower our insurance costs as well. Retards out there cant take responsibility for their own stupidity.

The install was a breeze and the 4Runner drives like a transformed vehicle - amazing. No more jumping left/right over bumps. tracks straight and seems to ride smoother. I'm wondering if the shocks were bound up a bit before because the ride is so much better.

thanks to Steve and yotatech!

That's the most noticeable point as well as the others you stated. If you 4 Wheel the truck hard with the rear Old Man Emu N86 shocks in a couple of years time you will shear the top of the passenger side shock off as it is always forced over too far and the hole in the frame will start to grind the shaft away.

Send your core back to Stubbs Welding, if you need the address hit me up. If you already sent it to me that's fine, but if not send it to Stubbie.

I'm glad you mentioned the shipping thing. I'm sending it today (to Stubbs Welding).

Thought you were wheeling this week? Must have great wireless service out there in the desert! (ha, ha)

Cheers !
