    Newbie in NW AR

    Good to see another 4Runner in NWA. Where are you located? I'm in Bentonville, always good to have somebody else to trail ride with. Do you have any offroading plans? Be careful, hang around here too much and you'll catch the mod bug, which can get expensive in a hurry, not that it's not worth...

    Actual mileage traveled after tire size upgrade

    @ryan, you are absolutely correct. Last week, my sending unit in the fuel tank started acting up, so my fuel gauge doesn't work properly. As such, I've been calculating fuel consumption by the odometer. The other night, it was late, I was tired and just wanted to get home, so didn't get gas when...

    Help me decide on tires

    I'll chime in. I just had a set of STT's in a 285/75r16 mounted on my '99, and I love them so far. I only have about 1,000 miles on them, so experience is limited, but here is my review: Looks - 9/10 Only tire I like better for looks is the Toyo Open Country M/T Tread - 10/10 I have already had...

    Any people around Oklahoma?

    Oklahoma native here, born in Tulsa, lived in Jay, OK, way up in the NE part of the state for 6 years. Good ol' Green Country lol! Now I live in the three state area, SW MO, about 2 hours from Tulsa. If anybody is interested in getting a group to go to Disney this spring, I know a couple guys...

    Should I have performed a tire balance?

    Haha, WOW!!:wow: I don't know how I completely missed that so badly. G4R, I apologize for that utterly misleading post. Now I'm just gonna have to issue a self-imposed 5 minute ban for Negligence to Pay Attention, Class C Forum Infraction:biggrin2:.

    Should I have performed a tire balance?

    I've never heard of such a thing, sounds like stealership upselling to me. I always rotate my tires at 5k when I change my oil, and have never had problems with uneven tire wear. The only times I had an alignment done was when I installed my lift and put the new tires on; anytime you mess with...

    Hey ya suckers: I'm back

    Good to see you back man, although frankly that took much longer than I expected lol. And I know I speak for all of us when I say, "Get on with the build thread already." :snacker: So, this is me waiting patiently.

    Tyler Ryan - The Good Samaritan

    It is definitely good to hear about someone that truly loves and cares for others. Prayers go out to him and his family. I will get the college ministry at my church to pass the prayers along, and will definitely be donating.

    Little Help with Tire Selection

    Ok, let me clarify a couple of things for evryone's benefit. I have the 16" 5 stars, and don't plan on changing anytime soon. My build plans are to have an extremely capable overland rig that can handle moderate or even severe trails, but I don't the desire or opportunity for serious crawling...

    Little Help with Tire Selection

    Thanks for all the replies, everybody has been most helpful. As for pricing, I had looked around a little bit, but I'll admit I was a little lazy when doing so. I have now found several places online where I can get BFG's, Nitto's, or even Toyo's for the same price or cheaper than the retail...

    Little Help with Tire Selection

    Just thought I should add, I have to pay for the spare either way, since it is my choice and not worn tires causing me to need new one's (33's). So I will be out a little bit of money either way.
