correct me if I'm wrong, please. It seems to me that ground clearance, as measured at the differentials, is a forbidden subject on this forum. almost no one mentions it, except to misuse it as body height or some such.
this forum is not the only one. I was watching a show about improving the suspension of a 5th gen 4 runner and wanted to check the ground clearance to compare what I'm doing on my 2nd gen expy. first, I think it's shocking they could talk about "improving" the suspension for offroad use without ever once mentioning ground clearance, then, when i tried to look it up, equally shocking to find a plethora of web sites talking about offroad suspension "improvements" that again, completely ignore ground clearance.
what am I missing here? if we aren't talking about ground clearance, at the lowest point (usually the differentials) when we talk about offroading, then what the hell are we doing? building westernized rice burners or what?
sounds like a lot of "all hat, no cattle" BS to me.
what am I missing? not a rhetorical question, I would really like an answer. if this is just a cosmetic forum, then somebody please tell me what is a real offroad forum for Expeditions.
thanks for your time.
