    Just wrap the whole truck in Baling wire. A little ducttape to hold the seams.

    Duct Tape!! How does the saying go "Can't duct it, fuck it - Can't fuck it - it has no use" or something like that. In other words, better hope duct tape holds o_O

    Update: talked to the manager at my dealership. He looked at it and said if you can’t take it offroad then Toyota shouldn’t branded offroad. Good dealership! He’s sending the pics he took to the regional rep and I should have an answer in a couple days. Pray for me boys!

    Cool! You made it over one big hurdle.

    I'm pulling for you with the regional guy.

    No, I just traded it. I’d rather not give the dealership name, but just know that I’m not ever going back there. I’ve got like 4 options within 30 mins of me. The rep told me “Vibrations caused by aftermarket suspension being driven off-road” yeah....

    Not cool, esp with the dumbass commercials they have been kicking out lately.

    I love those T4R rims. Reminds me of the Star Wars Empire logo.

    Enjoy it!

    Just know that you're 'never going back where?'
    Why not out a shitty dealership, that others might do well to avoid?

    Meh, nevermind, that was never going to get covered, anywhere.

    I couldn’t be happier making the switch. Driving this makes me sad I didn’t just get one instead of the truck in the first place. Can go more places once it’s setup like the truck was. Shorter wheelbase and smaller butt. If anyone is on the fence, just get a 4runner.

    That’s fine, but they don’t come in a manual trans and a 6’ open bed.

    I’m moving this commercial refrigerator later this month along with other like size items and they definitely will not fit in a 4Runner.

    Holy crap. There's no honeymoon period when you're signed up on TW.

    Thanks! I do like them but am also happy with the stock Sport rims. I know, you didn't hear me say that out loud.

    With them, it would be impossible to resist a bumper sticker that says my other car is at TIE Fighter.

    Like what @Grossomotto said. If they still made MTs, I would have pushed hard for my wife to get one instead of the Forester.
