Poor 4Runner. Why would you want to drive a vehicle that you can't back out of the driveway without ripping off the tailpipe?!!!

Don't get it...

Sort of like adopting a pet from the SPCA!

That's the biggest reason why I got the 4Runner! The previous one was ridiculously low from the factory. Silly Germans. It looks good but bottom out over white paint lines on the roads

Why buy a vehicle that is made for off-roading and lifting and then lower it and put bicycle tires on the stupid thing?

Does not make ANY sense to me!

Low Rider is a good song though.

Maybe he's on to something. For all we know his right front tire is on an RTI ramp or boulder. Maybe those smaller wheels have effectively lowered his gear ratios and he just crawls over obstacles. I think I see a Marlin under there!

You guys have it all wrong. True those wheels and tires are enough to make me sick, but look at the application of that hydrolic suspension to off road use.

If you get a tad off camber, just lift the low side.

Not enough departure clearance, just lift of the rear and lower the front. You can get out without banging the tail.

Load your rig with all the stuff you need for camping, and just lift it backup to counter the weight.

I mean the potential here is just amazing. Don't you think??

...but, those wheels and tires... There is just something wrong with that.

You guys remember that slammed H2 a little while ago?
This strikes a little too close to home for comfort
