    4 Runner lift questions

    Are you lifting just to fit larger tires? If so, consider doing a body lift instead of those suspension spacers. As for parking garages, I don't dare go into any under 7' tall.

    Local SAR groups

    Greybrick, I commend you on your desire to join a volunteer search and rescue team. It can be quite a rewarding endeavor, but also many hours of training along with "hurry up and wait" at missions. Canada has a very robust volunteer SAR community and I'm sure you'll locate a reputable local...

    getting lightforce 170 ???

    You could cut some cardboard into 5.6" and 6.6" circles representing the Lightforce 140s and 170s, then tape up on the light bar. Step back and I think you'll have a better understanding on how each one looks.

    Anyone recommend some ratchet straps ranging in lengths 6 to 10 feet or so? I bought some straps at Target (probably my mistake) for securing my Pelican cases and storage trunk in the back of my truck and they turned out to be worthless. I would ratchet down the straps and they appeared to be...
