    Think of how all that money could have been wisely spent.

    I have seen several Tacos and a 4Runner looking like that in the Greenville NC area. Have also seen a 3rd Gen 4Runner with the Carolina Squat

    As much bro-lean as possible
    I don't see a problem with it, other than there isn't enough bro-lean!

    Here's my buddies 4Runner. We have so many chicks asking us for rides in these things, we can't fit them all :taco::dancingbacon:

    Plus the lift, bumper, etc. I usually see this type of treatment on Silverados. Must hydroplane like crazy in a steady rain.

    To each their own. I imagine that must be a harsh ride!!

    I saw a Hummer with 30" wheels at a gas station once, and ended up talking to the guy. He said he paid something like $30K for the wheels. :eek:

    I guess my question would be; why do that to a vehicle built for off-road? Just doesn't make sense!

    I agree. Low profile tires are useless off-road, and must ride like shit on gravel or anything bumpy. It's like putting mud tires on a sports car.

    If I wanted that look, it certainly would not be applied to an off-roader...except maybe a Jeep..oops, did I just say that? JK, I think. Oh well, I'll shut up now.;)

    You just described Socal perfectly. Showy Lifestyle. Even the adults.
    I would hate to think it was my vehicle that attracted a girl instead of me! Very phony and shallow.

    I find posts like this hilarious. Someone buys a vehicle, does what they want to it, gets the look they want, and people act like they're an idiot for doing so.

    Clearly the person isn't worried about going offroad. I'm willing to bet at least 75% of "offroad" vehicles don't go offroading more than 4x a year.

    Do I like this style? No. Am I going to talk shit about it to where the person can't even explain themselves? Not my cup of tea either.

    Why do it to an expensive vehicle that was designed for off road, is my point. I guess that doesn't matter to some though because Mommy and Daddy bought it for them. Happened all the time when I lived in Southern California.
