    If you still have 2 cats it'll sound good. Take them out though and it turns into a raspy no torque mess

    Yea the price is a bit much and the install is just annoying.

    I run shorties now. I find the power curve to be much better since I also have the Y pipe. And there are always ways around the smog thing

    It sounds a lot better with the shorties. No rasp, quieter, and doesn't sound like a 16 year olds Honda

    I'm more surprised by the guys that put spacers on their oem shocks that have like 170k on them

    I was going to put lowering springs on my Lexus, but with 160k on those struts I just did not think that was a good idea at all

    Only regret is the digressive piston on my coilovers make an already rough riding coilover even rougher on the street. And when the shocks are cold in the morning... Forget about it. But in their defense I did over inflate my tires a bit to try and get better gas mileage.

    I need to clean my runner off after it got raped with salt this past week.

    Seriously considering getting a Tacoma and ditching my 4Runner or getting a 05-09 TL and fixing the 1500 in work my truck needs.

    So many decisions

    Well the TL would just be another vehicle. My Runner is more of a winter vehicle anyways lol. The TL would be good for trips and summer drives. Plus I've never owned a car.

    I run 35 psi on my 305s on the 4runner on road. Mainly because any higher and my old air compressor took way too long to get up any higher. I picked up a viair 450p though so I could probably try out different pressures now.

    My icons with 700 lb coils ride softer than the coilovers on my Lexus. I'm sure those icons would be solid like no other if I went up to Tahoe though.

    i loved driving a car. my old subaru wasnt a powerhouse and it didnt even handle that well, but it was so nice on long trips and getting around town, plus it had nice heated leather seats

    i run 40 psi just about year round, i had my tires at oem 32 when i first got them, but once i moved up the pressure i picked up 1-2mpg

    even my 5100s are unhappy, but the fluid heats up pretty quick. my tires though feel like steel rollers

    It's weird seeing from my fenders back filthy but not in front of them or the fenders them self lol

    Snow was fun. Not a ton of it but enough to dick around. The pass was full slush and a shit show though. 7300ft is no joke.
