    Tired of the terrible ride, need some advice

    What year was the 4Runner? Pretty sure most newer SUV's are going to have a much better ride than a TJ... floating over the rough stuff implies some speed. ? 🤷‍♂️

    Compared our TJ forum to another venue

    I like the ease of use at this site. It's clean, easy to navigate. The 'New Posts' option is the best and allows me an idea of what is going on. I purchases a 2008WK and joined jeepforum and I struggle what the chaos that is that site. There is crap and links everywhere. People have been...
