Newbie to the site and a 2nd Gen. 4runner concerned about tipping/rolling. On certain downhill turns (highway), I can't help but think my truck will tip. Am I overreacting? Also, is there a page concering safety (crash test) that I can look at?

PS. Love the pictures. Can't wait to dress up my vehicle.

Hey Pinoy,

As with any SUV or truck with a higher center of gravity rolling is always much more of a concern than cars. Having said that, take it easy around the corners and you should be fine. You cannot take corners as fast as a car though.

There are a couple things you can do to improve handling such as stiffer anti-sway bars and bilstein or edelbrock shocks.

Welcome aboard.

We were driving south from Tampa on
I-75 and saw two vehicles that had
rolled. One was a car still on its roof. I
agree with the speed issue.
