SOLD!! Sold 'em to a lucky guy in Anchorage.

hre14, I live in Cordova. You heading to Elmendorf or Eilson? You'll have lots of fun stationed wherever you are with your T4R, especially if you like winter driving.

Well, I'm now taking offers on my almost new tires, Bridgestone Dueler H/T 265/65R17. About 400 miles on them, all highway. PM me all reasonable and unreasonable offers.

I can understand wanting a deeper looking floor mat, heck I had 'em on my Subaru, but so far I've been impressed with the "crappy" factory mats. They've held large amounts of snow, mud and dirt, and kept the carpet clean and dry. I know some of the other mats will hold a gallon or two of...

Yesterday I discovered a new method for getting pet hair off of the seats. I put on a pair of those work gloves with the rubber dots all over them, and noticed that they really rolled up any hair sticking to the fabric. So now when I vacuum, I can just lightly rub the seat gathering all the...

I've got the Nokian Vativa 17". They've been great so far in very wet conditions, and excellent in snow/slush/ice. I live on a steep hill and have experienced zero slippage going up or down. If you can get a 17" Hakkapelitta I'd go with that, tho. Best snow tire I've ever used. These...

The problem with really soft bristles is they won't remove snow that's real wet or somewhat frozen on. I'm worried about the same thing, tho. I think that's why snow brushes come with firmer bristles. What I've been tryin to do is to not touch the paint with the bristles, to brush down as...

We just sold a 2002 Forester to buy our '04 4Runner. The Forester is a great AWD car, the 4Runner is a great 4wd truck. We had just the standard Forester, still got only 23 mpg average. Averaging 19 with the V8 Runner. Subaru's are renowned in Alaska for their ability to go thru snow, and...

I've used Boeshield on outboard motors for years. Coat the power head and you'll never see rust in there, not even on a motor running in saltwater. And no odor from burning off. Great stuff.

It's so clear now! Since my dog is usually standing there, atop the Husky liner, I don't think that net is going to be of much use. Thanks for the replies, now I'm off to the classified section. Anyone need a cargo net? Never been used. ;)

Ok, I'm baffled by the cargo net that came with the rig. I have the double decker cargo whatsis, but for the life of me I can't figger out how you're supposed to use the net. Only has hooks on one side of it. Help out a guy with limited brain power...

FS: Bridgestone Dueler H/T 17" tires Hi all! Got the original factory tires, set of 4, less than 400 miles on them for sale. They are: Bridgestone Dueler H/T P265/65R17. I switched to some Nokians as soon as I got the new rig home, so these babies have only seen highway miles. The...

Hello all, new T4R owner here. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with the Prolong engine treatment product. I know some guys who are good home mechanics who swear by the stuff, but I'm wondering if any of you good people have info on the subject. Any help is greatly appreciated.
