    Yea I know what you mean. Guys do it all the time for looks or in some cases approach angle. It’s not required to clear a 33 though.

    I wouldn’t. The high clearance cut is very high. Go too high and you’ll end up with a gap. Wait it out and cut once.

    Yep. They fixed it and honest to god it rode better after the fix than it did from the factory. Not that it was bad from the factory. But there must have been a very slight vibe that I hadn’t even noticed. And after it was fixed I noticed how much smoother it actually was.

    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    Less of a what did I do today and more of what I did recently. Nothing major, but still.

    I got a hitch recovery thing. I actually got two. Each came with a d-ring. Now I have two d-rings, an extra hitch thingy in case the other person involved in a hypothetical future recovery scenario doesn't have one, and I have no straps yet. Oh well. Getting there. I installed one for rear end victim protection and removed its d-ring. I figure if someone steals the hitch thing then at least I'll still have my d-ring.

    I also got a wheel step thing. It's my first time having a vehicle with a hard top in over 10 years, so I figured a little pick me up will help to clean snow and ice off the top of it since it's so high. It's not like my old Jeep Liberty with its soft top type thing which made cleaning snow and ice EASY since nothing ever froze to it. I wonder if I'm going to be a redneck like I did with my old Wrangler the one time the ice froze as one huge block to the top. I couldn't dislodge it, so I went driving, and the vibrations from the bumps loosened it on a side street. I got up a bit of speed and slammed on the brakes and had the huge slab of ice come down on my hood. I might be a redneck.

    I used my 4Runner to take my little RC Trailrunner out a couple times over the weekend. That was fun. I then cleaned the rubbery trunk cover thing. I don't know what it's called. It was covered in mud from my little RC truck.

    I saw a Toyota 86 flip in my rear view mirror. The driver was no Takumi Fujiwara, that's for sure. (OH NOES! I MADE A JOKE!) It was twisty, and I know I've got a bigger heavier vehicle, but the weather wasn't inclement in the slightest. I was planted and in rear wheel drive like I should have been, and it was fiiiiiiiiine. I could hear inappropriate revving behind me for about a mile leading up to that corner, and the car dropped back pretty far before taking the turn. I wonder if he was setting up to drift it. I could see him get sideways, then he snapped back to going sideways the other way, and then he was flipping over. I had to turn around to get back to the crash, so other people had already gotten there to help the guy before me. It looked like everyone was okay. The driver was visibly upset. Oh well. That's life sometimes. Spend a few years driving a Corolla and then maybe pick up the next gen of the 86/BRZ down the line. And don't do stupid stuff on public roads, especially if you can't handle it. I swear he would have been better off if he turned into the spin. He might have still gone off the road, but he probably wouldn't have careened off the road face first like he did.

    I'll clarify...i.don’t mean to cut as high as I need for the sso clearance just enough to get a better approach. I run duratracs (true 33s) and no rubbing after slight nip and tuck. Guess im impatient. You're right tho I should just wait to make the final cut until high clearance get here

    Does it bounce up/down with the roads & make noise? That is my concern. That & our shins while unloading! Lol

    Apologies for the late reply on this one, but couldn't you just engage the e-brake to turn off your DRL's while parking?

    I’ve tried this on mine but no go. It isn’t until the engine is turned off. And then restarted to sit running while parked.

    Ah, thanks for the clarification :cheers:

    I knew the DRL's come on as soon as you release the e-brake.

    Didn't realize they refuse to turn off when you press back down on it.

    Not sure if I have this whole "no DRL with parking lights" correct. I just had to run to the store. If you start the 4Runner with the parking brake on you can get no DRL's. If you release the parking brake they come on & will only stay/go off if the vehicle is started with the parking brake on.
    Hope my nonsense helps,
    Ryan.

    I get what you're saying.

    My comment referred to pressing the e-brake back down while the truck was still running.

    I think we're all on the same page now :hattip:
