The filler spot is in the way if you raise it, you could raise it like 5-6", but you would need a 5-6" body lift.

You'll see, when you get one. The Nissan tank is the ticket.

Is this info ever going to be available for public consumption or will you continue playing "I have a secret"?

For the record, I am in the process of Beta Testing some new parts. I have no idea if the tests will be positive or negative. The pogo sticks are alot softer, which obviously allows for more stuff; there is one possible negative issue I am currently working on. When the testing phase is over, I may or may not share this info with the public. How may pictures of Jeff's components or custom items have you ever seen?

Obviously if you wheel with me, you'll see it. So come on out here and go wheeling. Join in the testing yourself.

Oh brother. If you haven't seen pics of my custom mods, you haven't been to 4x4wire.

I have NEVER kept my modifications a secret. I help others freely because I figure it'll eventually come around and help me out too. And it has. That's why I try to be as accurate as possible about supplying any info. Plus I really enjoy helping others and seeing some cool modified 4Runners that work well. Steve, you're the only one who once again thinks this is some competition. It's never been a competition for me.

I still don't have a digital camera, but I do post pics of my mods from my film camera. There's only a couple mods where I didn't post detailed info about them because I needed to refine and improve the design before people copied a design that wasn't ready for public consumption (like my 2nd set of skidplates). Do a search at 4x4wire since that's where I've spent much of my web time since early 2000.

Steve,

It will be a sad day when people that have spent far less money modding their trucks kick your butt out on the trail. Secret or no secret, I find it hilarious to read your threads. I love it!

Chris

I for one understand keeping certain things a secret. But that being said I also like to brag and show off what I have done

Here is the deal. I provide a huge amount if entertainment for these people. When I was a Moderator at 4X4Wire the SUV board had 100+ new topics daily and was the flagship board over there. Now since Myself and Joe over there did not see eye to eye over Clayton, I left. Now they get 10 new topics a day if they are lucky. The board is dieing a slow and painful death.

I'm not saying I single handedly increased Yotatechs popularity, but I'm sure there are quite a few folks who tune in to see what colorful crap I'm barking out lately.

Sure I'm blunt, Sure I'm short, Sure I'm cocky, Sure I think this is a competition, Sure I'm a jerk, Sure is a good roll on, Sure Jeff slammed him bumpers quite hard on Holy Cross many times, Sure enough I did not, Sure Steve Hunt broke an axle, Sure enough the 85 4Runner in 37's could not make it up that line either, Sure Chris is a ding dong, Sure Mike Nevitt has alot of free time, Sure Corey and Joe are the best of buddies, Sure we should start a collection for gas money so 44Runner can drive out west, Sure DeMello and Yogi are gay lovers, Sure Crawler 976 has a low range only 1/2 as low as mine, Sure PoBoy like underwater expeditions, Sure Claytons dad will buy him many more vehicles for free, Sure Adrian’s 4Runner actually has front suspension, Sure Mike Brown made it through Chinaman's with no lockers, Sure it was $500 to straighten his frame, Sure everyone hates me, Sure I don't care.
