I had to do something to offset the mid engine ej257 powerplant that Erik and Mike help me put in it a few months ago.

The back end was just way too squirrely.

Why in the **** would you ruin a 1st gen 4runner like that? You realise how rare the rear shells are becoming because most of the off road guys are bobbing them.

well I figured since I was bastardizing it and making it a mid engine STI powered truck, might as well put a sti wing on it.
