    Oooh look, another mod.....

    Well the curb weight is roughly 4,750lbs, you're at 5,140lbs. That isn't bad, but you've added 500lbs. The only problem I see that causing is lower gas mileage. Think of it this way "That's just MORE 4Runner to love!"

    ....isn't that what we tell the fat people?

    Yeah I got a few tools. I could replace a cv axel, etc if needed on the trail. Weld a tie rod, no problem heh.

    If you are really worried about weight, then consider upgrading your breaks to a big break kit to compensate for the extra weight and give you piece of mind. Until then, please start adding to it, you need: skid plates, rock sliders, regearing, all the junk we carry in the back, yourself, another human hopefully a nice one! And who knows how many other belongings.....so get ready because the adds just continue. P.S. one day you will go for 34' or 35's. It looks better.

    You're fine! Here's mine from last year. I do have heavy load springs in back and medium load springs in front for the extra weight.
